[Isolation of LAV/HTLV III from tears of patients with the ARC syndrome].

Isolation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was attempted from the tears of seven patients with ARC. For two of these patients the fluid from cell cultures showed significant reverse transcriptase activity. One strain was maintained on C.E.M. (T lymphocytes cell line). Indirect fixed cell immuno fluorescence and Western Blot tests have shown this strain to be a HIV. This result confirms other already published data. Although there is no evidence of transmission through tears, the presence of the virus should not be forgotten.

[Facial cellulitis of dental origin].

A case of facial cellulitis of dental origin associating a retropterygoidal necrosis, a retro-orbital abscess and a cervicofacial cellulitis is reported. No related risk factors were found in this 28 year old man. Bacteriological analyses showed a mixed bacterial flora and the presence of candida. Direct examination favoured an anaerobic germ infection. However the culture and identification of theses germs were impossible. The clinical circumstances together with the results of facial computed tomography tended to make the diagnosis of an anaerobic cellulitis highly probable. The diagnostic and therapeutic managements are reviewed.

The macular choroid.

The macular arterial nutrition is represented by the short posterior choroidal arteries and by the recurrent posterior arteries. The multiplicity of sources and the frequency of anastomoses make the possibility of a choroidal segmentation at the posterior pole difficult to believe. The Central choriocapillary does not have any specific character. The existence of lobular circulatory unities seems as hypothetical as it does at the level of other choroidal territories. Moreover, if preferential drainage towards the superior and inferior temporal venous junctions exists, the existence of venous anastomoses and 'vortex bridges' should make one reject the idea of anatomical and physiological venous quadrantal segmentation.
