[Diagnosis of bilharziasis from Schistosoma mansoni in the early stage: apropos of 77 cases].

Schistosoma mansoni infection was diagnosed in 77 patients among 184 men (41.8%) coming from a regiment which had stayed in an endemic area. When it was recognized, this affection had no symptom in 48% of cases. When symptoms were present, they were general or allergic signs, and digestive troubles. Diagnosis, conjectured by hypereosinophilia, was confirmed by discovery of ova in 34 cases, and, in another hand, by positive immunofluorescence in 43 cases without evidence of parasite. This serological test is the best one for diagnosis, at the outset of disease.

[Current status of the physiopathology of pernicious malaria attacks].

The understanding of the pathophysiology of cerebral malaria has much benefited from the modern techniques of in vitro cultivation of Plasmodium falciparum and from a better knowledge of the biology of the parasite. The demonstration of the existence of "knob-like protrusions" explains some of the processes giving way to changes in the deep capillaries of viscera and particularly of brain. In a synthetic view one can say that this localized vasculopathy is the main factor of the pathologic changes observed in cerebral malaria.

[Typhoid fever in adult patients in Ouagadougou (analytic study of 124 cases) (author's transl)].

The authors study clinical and evolutive aspects of 124 cases of typho-paratyphoïdic fever carried out in Ouagadougou. Main features are emphasized and compared to series previously recorded in other tropical countries: -the most frequent form is the conventional one with fever-diarrhoea-vomiting, headache and abdominal pain; -10,4 p. 100 of the cases present further complication, with 13 fatal issues, mostly due to acute encephalitis and to the delay reporting to the hospital; -treatment raised no special problem, Eberth bacillus which is the most frequently detected germ, being still very sensible to phenicoles derivatives.

[Staphylococcal septicemias in Algiers (report of 14 cases) (author's transl)].

Staphyococcal septicemia is rare (0.19 p. 100 of admittances). The origin of this kind of infection could be located in all cases out of the sanitary units, and in 12 out of the 14 cases, patients under 30 years old were concerned. The main disorders were in pulmonary tract, kidneys and heart. A fatal issue occured 6 times due in most cases to a delayed admittance. A good study of sensitivity to antibiotics and a treatment associating several antibiotics are necessary.

[Pathophysiology of drepanocytemia (author's transl)].

The mutational molecular processes are reminded with recent advances in the understanding of the sickling phenomenon and the pathogenesy of the thrombotic complications. New therapeutic prospects are considered.

[Pathogenesis of chronic hemolysis in drepanocytemia (author's transl)].

Frequently chronic hemolysis is not obvious in drepanocytemia and must be looked for with proper technics. Its origin lies chiefly in the corpuscular process of sickling but extra-corpuscular factors must be considered, and among them the role of spleen seems prevailing.

[Treatment of leishmaniasis (author's transl)].

Review of the drugs at our disposal to treat leishmaniasis, according to the geographical and clinical aspects of the disease. Dosages, cautions for use and side-effects are indicated, as well as associated treatments required in visceral leishmaniasis to get full effect of the specific drug and avoid therapeutic incidents.

[Medical treatment of schistosomiasis (author's transl)].

After a brief reassessment of the pathogenic problem, the authors review the presently available drugs and their respective dosage and side-effects. Then they consider each of the four parasitological types of schistosomiasis and indicate the most active treatment.

[Schistosomiasis of vulvae (case report and comments) (author's transl)].

Report of a case observed in Malagasy Republic, caused by Schistosoma haematobium and associated with a urinary envolvement. A niridazol treatment lead to rapid recovery. Pathogenic processes of this localization are reviewed with regard to venous anatomy and parasitologic features. Venereal diseases, tuberculosis and cancer are the main affections capable to lead to mistaking. Pathology is a necessary and reliable control. Treatment is easy with niridazol or, in case of failure, with the various other specific drugs.
