[The rheumatism of acne conglobata (author's transl)].

The authors report a case of painful joint, para-articular and muscular involvement accompanying acne conglobata. Fifteen other cases of rheumatism associated with this very special type of acne have been reported. The patients affected are young men suffering from acne conglobata (severe form of acne characterised by its ulcerating course and the possibility of its being accompanied by systemic manifestations), who suddenly develop fever, an altered general state and assymetrical arthralgia involving mainly the large joints, accompanied by signs of muscular involvement. The course is one of spontaneous recovery, relapses being possible. This falls within the context of the group of rheumatic disorders associated with the signs of an inflammatory skin disease.

[Morphological diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii].

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia can only be diagnosed once the microorganism is demonstrated. The authors review and illustrate various staining technics, and discuss for each of them specific advantages. All samples must by systematically examined both by phase contrast microscopy and by light microscopy after Gomori-Grocott and Gram-Weigert stains. This morphological study is completed by ultrastructural photographs.

[Acute purulent meningitis of traumatic origin. 16 cases].

The current frequency of road accidents leads to the necessity to seek a possible head injury in the past history of patients suffereing from acute purulent meningitis. This investigation must be all the more assiduous in the presence of a meningitis which is pneumococcal in origin and recurrent. Rhinorrhoea is a sign of primary importance. Tomography of the frontal and sagittal views of the skul remains of value. Radio-isotope studies of the CSF happile make up for the deficiencies of radiological examination, without providing an infallible means for the detection of osteomeningitis defects. The authors report their findings and therapeutic results in 16 patients collected in a series of 162 cases of acute purulent meningitis.

Hematuria and rectal bleeding in the child with Klippel and Trenaunay syndrome.

We have operated upon 588 patients with Klippel and Trenaunay syndrome. The underlying factor is a congenital malformation of the deep veins: agenesis, atresia or compression by fibrovascular bands of the popliteal, femoral or iliac veins. Of these 588 patients, 6 children between 15 months and 4 years of age had severe rectal bleeding and hematuria. One of these children died from massive bleeding of the rectum with septicemia. Another boy was saved by rectal resection and the last one by subtotal cystectomy. The important venogram shows an absence of the anterior venous pathway (superficial femoral vein) compensated by the abnormal development of 2 venous groups, the vein of the sciatic nerve and large veins along the external aspect of the inferior limb. These 2 venous groups penetrate into the pelvis by the sciatic and gluteal notches and terminate in the internal iliac vein which becomes enormous and has a very high flow. This overflow hinders drainage of the venous collateral from the rectum, the bladder and the vagina. The retro adductor vein, prolongated by the deep femoral vein, represents an anastomosis between the sciatic nerve vein and the common femoral vein. The surgeon must try to widen this pathway.

[Indications and choice of antibacterial treatment in patients receiving immunosuppressive agents and antimitotic drugs (author's transl)].

Bacterial infections are the most common cause of death in patients with malignant blood diseases. After recalling the main bacteria responsible and the factors which predispose patients to infection, the authors consider various forms of treatment, including antibiotic therapy, transfusions of white blood cells, gammaglobulins, etc., and prophlyactic measures, such as antibiotics by mouth, isolation in a sterile ward, etc., which have been proposed for some years. During renal grafts, infective complications are also very frequenct. Their prevention is essential for on this, to a large extent, depends the success of the transplantation.
