[Beware of yeast septicemia in intensive care medicine].

A retrospective study of 24 cases of systemic candidosis observed in a polyvalent intensive care unit over a 6.5 yr period (1987-1993) led to some constatations: an increasingly high incidence of this type of septicaemia (up to 27.5% of all septicaemias), large responsibility of skin saprophytes Candida ( > 62% vs 21% from intestinal Candida albicans), frequent diagnostic difficulties, and a fatal outcome in 7/24 patients (mainly from severe causal illness). In order to improve the prognosis, a more systematic and often empirical resort to fungicidal agents could be justified whenever patients with very severe surgical or medical conditions develop a protracted fever of unclear origin.

[Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Apropos of 12 cases].

Arteriovenous fistula of the lung is a relatively rare lesion with various clinical manifestations. It may be clinically silent and discovered by chance on X-ray films of the chest or during evaluation of Rendu-Osler-Weber disease with which it is associated in about one-half of the cases. It may also have loud manifestations when complicated. The fistula is diagnosed in successive steps, mainly by respiratory function tests and pulmonary angiography. Conservative treatment should be the rule, especially in case with multiple fistulae, but it must begin at an early stage to avoid the dramatic complications of this abnormality, such as acute neurological disorders, haemoptysis, haemothorax, etc. Wide and crippling lung resection must be avoided. Aneurysmorrhaphy or embolization is sufficient to cure most of these multiple angiomas. The results obtained are measured by calculating the blood flow rate in the shunt, as it should theoretically disappear after surgery.
