[1st case of eosinophilic meningitis in Reunion, probably due to Angiostrongylus].

Report of the case of a six-year-old child who presented a meningitis with 40 % eosinophils in the cerebrospinal fluid and which spontaneously regressed. These clinical data and the serologic (positive test for many nematod antigens) and epidemiological findings (presence of Angiostrongylus larvae in terrestrial gasteropod) lead to the conclusion that we were in presence of the first case of eosinophil meningitis due to Angiostrongylus cantonensis reported in the island of la Réunion.

[Treatment of alcoholism in hospitalized patients (author's transl)].

Patients admitted to a regional psychiatric hospital for alcoholism were treated with tiapride. A total of 131 patients were treated with this therapy among 191 admissions, 47,89p. cent of them being in a confusional oneiric state. Results were compared to those obtained by previous therapy. The administration of tiapride reduced the number of confusional oneiric states provoked by withdrawal after admission by 20 p. cent, and produced a 44 p. cent reduction in the duration of those present at the time of hospitalization. Confused patients became significantly more alert and autonomous, thus reducing the work-load of the nursing staff and greatly assisting the routine running of the department.
