[Correlations between gastric erosions and duodenal ulcer. Endoscopic study].

123 varioliform, 105 aphthous and 48 haemorrhagic flat erosions were noted in 2618 gastroduodenoscopies. A high incidence of erosions were associated with duodenal ulcer (43% of duodenal ulcers), especially in varioliform types and antrally. It is suggested that antral varioliform erosions form an integrating part or even the sole expression of an ulcer, and thus be seen as "sentinels" of an existing, potential or prior duodenal ulcer. Based on statistics, this view is supported by the maximum stimulus acidograms, which show that the PAO in antral varioliform erosions form an integrating part or even the sole expression of an ulcer, and thus be seen as "sentinels" of an existing, potential or prior duodenal ulcer. Based on statistics, this view is supported by the maximum stimulus acidograms, which show that the PAO in antral varioliform erosggested that antral varioliform erosions form an integrating part or even the sole expression of an ulcer, and thus be seen as "sentinels" of an existing, potential or prior duodenal ulcer. Based on statistics, this view is supported by the maximum stimulus acidograms, which show that the PAO in antral varioliform erosion without duodenal ulcer is within the range for duodenal patients. The employment of PAO is thus proposed in all cases of isolated antral varioliform gastric erosion, particularly in the absence of other possible causes.

[A new bacterium: Rochalimaea].

Originally limited to trench fever, infections due to Rochalimaea now comprise manifestations particular to patients with human immunodeficiency virus (bacillary angiomatosis and hepatic peliosis), but also manifestations as diverse as isolated fever, septicaemia, endocarditis, lymphocytic meningitis, or central neurological disorders, in immunodepressed or immunocompetent subjects. The involvement of Rochalimaea in cat-scratch fever remains debated. Microbiological analysis used for diagnosis has been modified to allow isolation of these new bacteria, whose culture is slow and difficult, in the course of the above-cited clinical manifestations, which should further extend the range of Rochalimaea infections.

Cat-scratch disease in Italy: a serological approach.

The results of studies on the serologic responses to Afipia felis and Rochalimaea henselae in suspected patients for Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) are illustrated. This preliminary study performed using Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay, proved negative for A. felis and R. henselae in some patients and positive in others; in a few instances the test was positive for both organisms. Additional microbiological and serological studies are needed to clarify the exact role of these microorganisms in causing CSD.

Encephalitis associated with cat scratch disease--Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida, 1994.

On August 14, 1994, the Broward County Public Health Unit of the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services was notified of three children from Pompano Beach who were hospitalized with encephalitis attributed to cat scratch disease (CSD). All three children (aged 5, 6, and 11 years) were previously healthy and had no histories of seizure disorders or diagnoses of CSD. This report summarizes the investigation of these cases.

Cat scratch disease in two children presenting with fever of unknown origin: imaging features and association with a new causative agent, Rochalimaea henselae.

OBJECTIVE: To report the clinical course, imaging findings, and method of diagnosis of two patients with systemic manifestations of cat scratch disease, presenting with fever of unknown origin. DESIGN: Case study. PATIENTS: Two children with fever of unknown origin who had multiple lesions in the liver and spleen, shown on ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Initial diagnoses were Kawasaki disease (case 1) and metastatic neuroblastoma (case 2). RESULTS: Biopsy material showed granulomatous hepatitis in both patients. The diagnoses were confirmed by positive assays for Rochalimaea henselae, currently thought to be the causative agent of cat scratch disease. CONCLUSION: Cat scratch disease presenting as fever of unknown origin is now well described and can be more readily diagnosed because of the availability of new serologic assays, as well as polymerase chain reaction assays for R henselae DNA in tissue specimens.

Ocular cat scratch disease.

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is infectious and can cause a multitude of systemic diseases in addition to ocular CSD. Rochalimaea henselae has been identified as the causative agent for ophthalmic manifestations of cat scratch disease. A noninvasive method of making a positive diagnosis of ocular CSD was recently developed.

Bacillary angiomatosis: a treatable cause of acute psychiatric symptoms in human immunodeficiency virus infection.

BACKGROUND: Bacillary angiomatosis is a systemic infection that has been most commonly reported in the setting of immunosuppression, especially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. METHOD: We report two patients who had bacillary angiomatosis who presented with psychiatric symptoms. RESULTS: The first patient presented with marked exacerbation of previous depressive disease. The second patient presented with new psychotic symptoms. In both cases psychiatric symptoms did not resolve until antibiotic treatment was given. CONCLUSION: Our report expands the clinical spectrum of bacillary angiomatosis and identifies a new cause of treatable psychiatric disease in HIV-infected persons.

Diagnostic tests for Rocky Mountain spotted fever and other rickettsial diseases.

Rickettsial diseases continue to confound physicians because of their usually sporadic occurrence and nonspecific clinical presentation. In past years, diagnosis was confirmed only during convalescence; however, newer, more widely available methods, such as antigen detection and improved in vitro cultivation, have enabled a diagnosis at a time when therapeutic decisions are made. Molecular nucleic acid-based techniques have also expanded the spectrum of etiologic agents and illnesses caused by rickettsiae.
