[Nosocomial pneumonia following surgery of esophageal tumors (apropos of 50 cases)].

Esophagus cancer surgery often becomes complicated with fistulas and above all with infections. In 50 cases, the authors relate 7 fistulas and 60 nosocomial infections among which pneumonia takes the first place. The pneumonia diagnosis has been established on the criteria of the "National Nosocomial Infection Study" and on bacteriologic samples. Those mostly isolate Gram-bacilli and streptococci. The diagnosis and etiologic factors leading to prophylactic measures are studied.

[Gas gangrene: an extreme surgico-medical rather than medico-surgical emergency].

A diabetic woman developed spontaneous gas gangrene of upper limb extending into trunk and due to clostridium septicum. Recovery was obtained after major surgery involving disarticulation of upper limb and excision of soft tissues of left hemithorax, and a difficult intensive care programme (hyperbaric oxygen therapy, assisted ventilation). The presence of this gas gangrene revealed a bipolar colon cancer treated in parallel. The conventional therapeutic hierarchy is discussed: surgery should be carried out as an extreme emergency and should not be delayed to allow transfer to a center equipped with a hyperbaric oxygen therapy apparatus.
