[The epidemiology of brain injury and the organization of health care to victims in Aden (Yemen)].

All medical information sources available in Aden (Yemen) over 1998-2000 showed that there were 862 victims with brain injury. The prevalence of brain injury was 2.19 cases per 1,000; that being 1.6 cases in adults and 4.8 in children per 1000 of the pediatric population. The main causes of brain injury were domestic and road traffic accident in 54.7 and 40% of cases, respectively. Mild brain injury (mild brain concussion and contusions) was equally stated with severe one (moderate-to-severe brain contusions, as well as cerebral compression). Closed brain injuries predominated (in 732 (84.9%) 732 victims) over open ones (in 130 (15.1%)). The findings will make it possible to implement a number of organizational measures to improve medical service of this group of seriously ill patients and to reduce disability and mortality.

[Massive necrotizing adenitis complicating a disseminated herpes simplex virus 2 infection in chronic lymphoid leukemia].

We report a case of a 68 years old male patient treated for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, presenting a right inguino-crural tender lymphadenopathy with periadenitis. The histologic changes associated with adenitis were large foci of necrosis with regular crown of epithelioid cells, without giant cell. The presence of Herpes simplex virus 2 was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and culture. Occurrence, physiopathology, clinical and histological aspects of Herpes simplex lymphadenitis in patients with haematologic disorders, are discussed.

Cat-scratch bacillus and Streptococcus pneumoniae causing submandibular suppurative adenitis and acute glomerulonephritis.

Acute cervical adenitis is a frequent problem in pediatrics. It is occasionally followed by acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis, which has a well-defined set of clinical and histological manifestations. We present two rare cases of acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis, one associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae and the second with cat-scratch disease. Cultures of material from the lymph nodes yielded S. pneumoniae type 15 in case 1. A pleomorphic gram-negative micro-organism, identified by silver stain as cat-scratch bacillus, was found in case 2.

Shigellae and Vibrionaceae species as a cause of diarrhoea among children in Aden.

In Aden, the incidence of diarrhoea among infants and children is still high. The present work aimed at investigation of Shigelleae and Vibrionaceae as etiologic agents of enteric infections. Stool specimens obtained from 1056 children complaining of diarrhoea were cultured on plating media and on enrichment media. Suspected colonies were then serotyped and antibiotic sensitivity tests performed. Seven percent of the specimens were found positive for Shigella strains. Shigella boydii was the commonest, particularly serotypes 14 and 1. Two percent of specimens were positive for Vibrionaceae, Plesiomonas shigelloides had the highest frequency. Several Shigella strains revealed multiple resistance to antibiotics, this was explained as due to a plasmid role.

Potency and suppurative adenitis in BCG vaccination.

Studies performed up to now in animal and man show that potent BCG strains guarantee a higher protection against tuberculosis than strains with weak virulence. Vaccine prepared from a strong BCG strain may be administered in lower doses, reducing the incidence of suppurative adenitis to a level acceptable by the individual patients and the health authorities.

Childhood cervical adenitis.

Cervical lymphadenopathy is common in children. Although infectious adenitis is the most probable diagnosis, a large number of congenital and acquired, neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions must also be considered. Evaluation of infectious cervical lymphadenitis should include a careful history and physical examination, followed by a tuberculin skin test and cultures of the throat and lymph node aspirate. The first therapeutic step is to prescribe a semisynthetic penicillinase-resistant penicillin, aimed at the most common bacterial organisms.

Sebaceous adenitis in dogs and results of treatment with isotretinoin and etretinate: 30 cases (1990-1994).

Medical records of 30 dogs with histologically confirmed sebaceous adenitis that were treated with isotretinoin or etretinate were reviewed. Akitas and Standard Poodles were overrepresented, compared with the general hospital population. Thirteen dogs had concurrent pyoderma. The retinoids were administered for a minimum of 2 months. Dosage for the 13 dogs treated with isotretinoin only ranged from 0.8 to 3.5 mg/kg of body weight/d (mean, 1.4 mg/kg/d). Dosage for the 10 dogs treated with etretinate only ranged from 0.7 to 1.8 mg/kg/d (mean, 1.1 mg/kg/d). Two dogs were first given isotretinoin (mean dosage, 1.5 mg/kg/d) and, when they did not respond, were subsequently given etretinate (mean dosage, 0.85 mg/kg/d). Five dogs were first given etretinate (mean dosage, 1 mg/kg/d) and, when they did not respond, were subsequently given isotretinoin (mean dosage, 1.6 mg/kg/d). For the 20 dogs treated with isotretinoin, 1 was lost to follow-up; 9 of the remaining 19 had a successful outcome (> 50% reduction in severity of scaling and extent of alopecia, compared with pretreatment appearance). For the 17 dogs treated with etretinate, 9 had a successful outcome. Outcome could not be predicted on the basis of clinical signs or histologic findings, and a prognosis could not be determined on the basis of whether sebaceous glands were evident histologically.

[Periportal adenitis secondary to abdominal tuberculosis. A CT study].

Isolated periportal tuberculous adenitis is rare. Computed tomography (TC) is the primary modality for its detection and evaluation. Although not definitive, in the presence of an appropriate clinical history and a positive purified protein derivative test, a diagnosis of periportal tuberculous lymphadenopathy may be suggested by CT by the presence of low-density enlarged porta hepatis lymph nodes with immediate postcontrast peripheral rim enhancement.

Mycobacterial cervical adenitis in children: medical and surgical management.

This is a review of the treatment results of cervicofacial mycobacterial adenitis in 85 children and adolescents. Twenty-three patients were treated with only anti-tuberculous medications (Group A). Thirteen underwent surgical procedures at the time of presentation for drainage of abscess or diagnostic biopsy, followed by treatment with anti-tuberculous medications (Group B). Forty-nine were initially treated with anti-tuberculous medications, with or without needle aspirations, and subsequently required surgery for one of the following reasons: 1) drainage and/or excision of abscess (Group C); 2) diagnostic biopsy (Group D); and 3) excision of persistent, enlarging, or recurrent nodes, or of draining fistulas (Group E). Four patients who were initially treated with surgery required a second procedure for persistent or recurrent disease. The cure rate for patients treated only with medications (Group A) was 95%. The cure rate for patients in the surgical groups after the initial procedures were 50% for Group B, and 100% for Groups C, D, and E. The overall cure rate was 92% for surgical treatment groups B-E and 93% for all 5 treatment groups. The clinical features of the disease, treatment outcome, and guidelines for management are discussed.

[Pharyngo-tonsillitis and necrosing submaxillary adenitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes associated with toxic shock syndrome in children from Mexico City].

We report on six previously healthy children between nine months and nine years old, who suffered streptococcal faringoamigdalitis and cervical adenitis with scarlet fever and toxic shock syndrome; four of them died in a fulminant course and two survived. These patients behave similarly to others reported from United States of America, England and Australia, and in similar way these clinical entity could be due to bacterial pyrogenic exotoxins according to the clinical fulminant course.

Interleukin-2 and soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels in children with active pulmonary tuberculosis and atypical mycobacterial adenitis.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) level was measured in sera and in supernatants of Purified Protein Derivatives of Tuberculin (PPD) stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cultures from children with active primary pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), or adenitis caused by mycobacteria of the group Mycobacterium avium, intracellulare, scrofulaceum (MAIS). The control groups included BCG vaccinated children (BCG) and children with negative skin test to PPD (NST). High mean IL-2 level was exclusively found in sera of mild TB patients (MTB), and not in sera of MAIS infected or BCG vaccinated children. The IL-2 level increased even more in MTB during treatment. In severe TB (STB) the IL-2 level was not elevated before treatment, but increased also during treatment. IL-2 production in supernatants of PPD stimulated PBMC cultures was increased in MTB as well as in MAIS and BCG subjects. Further, soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels were measured in the different groups of children. With the exception of the STB group, there was otherwise no significant increase of the receptor in the sera levels between groups. During treatment the sIL-2R levels decreased in MTB as well as in STB. A slight but non significant augmentation was found in the supernatants of PBMC cultures stimulated with PPD. This work suggests, along with other referable studies, that IL-2 and sIL-2R levels are inversely modulated by the disease. Indeed, the IL-2 seems to increase in MTB comparatively to NST children, and in treated TB comparatively to non treated TB children. On the other hand, the sIL-2R level was found to decrease in TB under treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Presence of intra- and peri-lymph node color Doppler signals in a case of suppurative granulomatous axillary adenitis].

Recent reports have emphasized that colour Doppler signals in axillary lymph nodes denote their metastatic nature. We report a case of axillary adenitis due to cat scratch disease in which there were both intra and peri-lymph node signals. Doppler colour signals can thus distinguish other pathologies of the axillary lymph nodes since metastatic nodes do not produce perifocal signals.

[PFAPA syndrome: periodic fever, adenitis, pharyngitis and aphthous stomatitis].

A syndrome involving periodic fever, pharyngitis, adenitis and aphthous stomatitis is described in 8 children. Attacks are characterized by abrupt onset of fever and, in addition to the above symptoms, by malaise, headache and abdominal pain. Mild leukocytosis and elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate are found in the laboratory. Patients exhibit normal growth and development and are otherwise healthy. PFAPA is clinically benign, with no long-term sequelae. Recognition and diagnosis of the syndrome eliminate the need for intensive work-up. The cause remains unknown. No evidence linking bacterial, viral, or fungal pathogens to this syndrome has been found. No patient has exhibited atypical lymphocytosis or neutropenia, and all patients had normal levels of immunoglobulin. All had received antibiotics early in the course of their illness but without effect. Cimetidine has been discussed in the literature as a possible treatment, but the results are controversial.
