[Fatal poisoning with paraquat: report of a new case].

Intoxication with paraquat has been rarely described in our country. We present a case of a 66-years-old man admitted to our hospital five hours after an accidental ingestion of a sip of paraquat. Despite therapy with gastric lavage, Füller's Soil, Magnesium Sulphate, liquids and hemoperfusion, the patient developed Multiple Organic Failure and died 48 hours after his hospitalization. Plasmatic levels of the herbicide were very high. Typical clinical data, prognosis factors and therapeutical management of this intoxication are described.

[Brucellosis: 50 cases. Clinico-epidemiologic study and evaluation of diagnostic methods].

Fifty cases of brucellosis attending our Service of Internal Medicine during the period 1985-1990 are restrospectively studies. The number of patients in which the potential transmission mechanism and the risk factor involved are unknown is very high, being the percentage higher among women from urban areas (50%). Thus, greater attention should be paid to transmission sources considered unfrequent and to survival of the germ in several biological environments, as well as to consumption of non-pasteurized dairy products. The evolution period of the disease until hospitalization and diagnosis is large (48.6 days), especially in its oligosymptomatic forms. The diagnostic method is based mainly in clinical observations plus agglutinations, with positive hemocultive as the diagnostic method in just 6% of the cases. Treatment with streptomycin and tetracycline is still highly effective.

[Retrotrigonal bladder lymphoma].

Presentation of one case of vesical involvement due to lymphoma in an 82-year old female which presented as a micturition syndrome, abdominal mass and later picture of obstructive uropathy with acute renal function impairment. Diagnosis was achieved by ultrasound and abdominal CAT, cystoscopy with of vesical biopsy, transvaginal mass biopsy and immunohistochemical techniques. The difficulties of a correct differential diagnosis with other vesical neoplasias as well as the need to differentiate primary from systemic vesical lymphoma were discussed, not only because of the separate prognosis but also for the different therapeutical approaches.
