Fighting to get into the restaurant.

Although perhaps not the highest profile AIDS conference in the world, the Seventh International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection, held November 14-18, 2004, in Glasgow, Scotland, had a unique profile. It consisted entirely of plenary sessions devoted to drug treatment. This saved delegates from having to rush from one venue to another and allowed people to concentrate on a single topic. The fact that the congress has been held in this format since 1992 is a strong confirmation that the organizers have found a winning formula. All but one of these congresses have been held in Glasgow, and it has been very interesting to see how attitudes have changed over the years. This seventh congress attracted more than 2,500 delegates from 69 countries. Highlights of the meeting are discussed in this report.

[Scombroid poisoning at an Icelandic restaurant].

We report four cases of scombroid poisoning. During a lunch meeting three males had the same dish: a club sandwich with raw tuna. All developed erythema over the face and neck within two hours of eating the tuna. The severity of symptoms varied. Other symptoms were profuse sweating, a feeling of intense thirst and palpitations. The symptoms disappeared after few hours. Samples obtained from the tuna revealed histamine levels above the recommended FDA levels. We also report a case with similar symptoms after eating canned tuna in a mixed salad. Scombroid poisoning has been associated with the consumption of dark-flesh fish with high levels of histidine, which can be converted to histamine by decarboxylase from Gram-negative bacteria in the fish. The fish most often implicated is tuna. It is of great importance to increase the awareness of this type of poisoning for correct diagnosis and to prevent other cases by improving storage.
