[Lupus erythematosus systemic and persistent pulmonary salmonellosis].

A 40-years-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and severe pulmonary nontyphoid salmonellosis (Salmonella Typhimurium), is reported. In addition the patient had incomplete septal cirrhosis. The authors pointed out a possible influence of Salmonella infection in the development of immune complex diseases.

[Association of thymoma and severe intestinal strongyloidiasis].

A 59-years-old man with thymoma and severe intestinal strongyloidiasis is reported. The authors pointed out a possible influence of immunological response related with thymoma in the development of hyperinfection by Strongyloides stercoralis.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the colon and ulcerative colitis. Case report.

The association between ulcerative colitis and lymphoma is rare. The authors report the case of a 54-year old white man who presented a clinical picture and radiological and colonoscopic findings suggesting the diagnosis of idiopathic ulcerative colitis. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies of tissue specimens obtained at autopsy led to the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's B-cell T-cell-rich lymphoma throughout the colon. Possible relations between ulcerative colitis and gastrointestinal lymphoma are discussed.

[Food poisoning outbreak due to the consumption of spaghetti a la carbonara caused by Salmonella enteritidis].

INTRODUCTION: This paper reports a clinico-epidemiological and microbiological investigation conducted into an outbreak of gastrointestinal infection due to Salmonella enteritidis, where the most likely food vehicle was spaghetti a la carbonara. METHODS: An historic cohort study was conducted out among persons exposed to menus at a school canteen. Data were gathered on age, sex, foods consumed and clinical symptoms. School premises and menus were inspected, food samples obtained (spaghetti and meat balls), and stool samples taken from 30 affected subjects and 8 food handlers. Isolated strains were studied using pulsed-field electrophoresis. Attack rates were computed, and the odds ratio adjusted for the remaining foodstuffs (ORa) used to calculate the independent contribution made by the respective foods to risk of infection. RESULTS: Study coverage was 75.7% (140/185). The overall attack rate was 72.1% (101/140), with 12.9% of those affected requiring hospitalisation. The multivariate analysis showed that, while the spaghetti maintained its association (ORa = 8.4; 95% CI 1.4-51.8), the meat balls registered a reduction in risk (ORa = 1.8; 95% CI 0.4-7.5). S. enteritidis was isolated in stool cultures from 28 affected subjects, and in 2 blood and 6 stool cultures from food handlers (5 of whom were classed as cases). Moreover, S. enteritidis was also isolated in the food samples. On pulsed-field electrophoresis, the strains registered the same electrophoresis pattern. CONCLUSIONS: This outbreak serves to underscore the gravity of Salmonella spp. food poisoning, the danger of using inadequately cooked eggs, and the importance of interviewing food handlers to ensure proper classification (i.e., as patients or carriers). Existing recommendations as to the use of pasteurised egg products ought to be extended in scope.
