[Clinical manifestations of various mycoses of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts in African pathology].

Mycotic infections are prevalent in tropical Africa, and are sometimes observed North and South of this zone, but they are usually localized to the lower limbs (mycetoma), without manifestations in the ORL sphere. However, various ubiquitous superficial mycoses are also encountered in Africa, particularly Aspergilloses and Candidoses. Their clinical expression (apart from several cases of pseudo-tumoral sinusal aspergillosis...) differs only slightly from that observed and treated everywhere, and they are not discussed. Also excluded are several cases of North-American Blastomycosis reported North and South of the Sahara (Blastomyces Dermatidis). Their ORL manifestations do not appear to have been studied. Three very well known major forms remain: Histoplasmoses, Rhinosporidiosis, Phycomycoses (or Rhino--Entomophtoroses). Sporotrichoses with nasofacial manifestations may also, perhaps, be included.

Characterization of stable conformational variants of erythrocyte carbonic anhydrases.

Limiting viscosity numbers of bovine and ovine erythrocytes carbonic anhydrase variants were calculated by the objective method of comparing viscosimetric data obtained from low-activity-human erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase and its natural variant. Shifts of mobilities and isoelectric points are shown for all species variants, but variations of limiting viscosity numbers were only detected for human and bovine variants. Results of the study are consistent with the observation that variants arise by deamidation of erythrocyte carbonic anhydrases, and that deamidation is responsible for changes in structure and hydration (i. e. "conformational" modifications). Thus, all the variants so far investigated are stable conformational variants or erythrocyte carbonic anhydrases.
