[Depression in the aged patient: bibliographic review].

The purpose of this review is to describe the diverse aspects of depression in the elderly. The bibliographical research includes epidemiology, theoretical models, diagnosis and treatment. Many studies emphasize the need for an accurate diagnosis, given the risk of unrecognized depression. The therapeutic trial is used when there is uncertainty about the diagnosis, especially whether it is depression or dementia. A treatment and a long follow-up are necessary to prevent relapses and recurrences.

[Lucio's leprosy].

A case of diffuse lepromatous leprosy with lepra reaction type II-Lucio's phenomenon-in a 24 years old male patient is reported. The histological examination of the necrotic lesions and of the apparently normal skin showed the presence of dense perivascular and perianexial lymphohystiocitic infiltrates with great quantities of bacilli. The first biopsy did not show a picture a leuccocytoclastic vasculitis but only areas of necrosis. The immunofluorescence studies revealed on direct examination complement deposits on vessel walls. The complement levels in blood were lowered and circulating inmunecomplexes were also detected. These data confirm the opinion that Lucio's phenomenon is caused by circulating inmunecomplexes fixed on dermal vessel walls causing skin necrotic lesions.

[The clomipramine-lithium combination: controlled trial].

A controlled study on a pragmatic type was performed on 30 patients of both sex, all having recurrent depressions. The efficacy of Clomipramine plus Lithium Carbonate was compared to that of Clomipramine plus placebo. The control consisted in a double-blind study with random sampling of patients. Results were recorded by an independant observer using a rating scale and were analysed statistically. In spite of the bias which was observed it seems possible to conclude. The association of Clomipramine plus Lithium Carbonate has no greater global antidepressive efficacy as compared with Clomipramine plus placebo which means that Lithium does not potentialize nor antagonize the anti depressant effect of Clomipramine. In respect of the number of patients : bipolar depressions (10 cases) unipolar (20 cases) it has not been possible to study the results in these 2 sub groups.
