[Cutaneous mucormycosis in a diabetic woman. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems].

We report a new case of cutaneous mucormycosis in a diabetic woman. The major favouring circumstances are found in this patient: ketoacidosis diabetes, use of bandages, local corticosteroid applications, renal insufficiency. The diagnosis, rarely made on the clinical aspect, is based on the histological and mycological data. A trial of treatment by ketoconazole has been carried out, but without success. The usual treatment by intravenous amphotericine B has been successful.

[Diclofenac-induced colitis complicated by Klebsiella oxytoca infection].

A 25-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Colonoscopy showed hemorrhagic proctocolitis with superficial erosions. Histology was consistent with the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and biopsy cultures were negative. Despite treatment with prednisolone (40 mg/day), his clinical condition deteriorated and he was referred to our institution. On repeated questioning, the patient reported self-medication with diclofenac (200 mg/day) for 6 weeks to treat tendinitis prior to the beginning of digestive symptoms. Rectosigmoidoscopy confirmed bleeding colitis and repeated biopsy cultures showed Klebsiella oxytoca. Corticosteroids were stopped and ofloxacin (400 mg/day) was prescribed for 14 days. Diarrhea quickly resolved. Colonoscopy 8 weeks later showed only patchy erythematous mucosa without bleeding or erosions. Two years later, the patient remains asymptomatic with normal total colonoscopy. The definitive diagnosis was de novo NSAID-induced colitis subsequently complicated by Klebsiella oxytoca infection.

[A case of Whipple's disease with ankylosing spondylarthritis treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole].

We report the case of a patient, suffering from Whipple's disease and HLA B27 positive ankylosing spondylitis with syndesmophytes and erosive discopathy. Since spinal radiographic aspects of spondylitis due to Whipple's disease are unusual, we are debating on their relation. We, then, took an interest in the treatment given to this patient: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole which would now appear to be the best antibiotic for Whipple's disease.

[Stereomorphological relationship between colonic adenomas and peri-adenomatous mucosa in scanning electron microscopy. Histogenetic correlations].

Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), then light microscopy, the authors have studied 25 colonic adenomas, 5 specimens of peri-adenomatous mucosa and 9 specimens of normal colonic mucosa. Comparison between SEM features and histological characteristics has shown that each of the three histological entities had an specific surface architecture. Comparative analysis of the different aspects observed at SEM has shown a close architectural relationship between the adenomas and the adjacent mucosa, and suggests the hypothesis that adenomatous polyps are formed by invagination of the surface epithelium which has a well-known capacity of proliferation.
