[Coxiella burnetii osteoarthritis].

A case of a 25-year-old female characterized by febrile osteoarthritis and arthromyalgias as the only clinical manifestation of a Q fever is discussed. Analytical data were compatible with those of an acute inflammation and serologic findings reached diagnostic levels. Response to Doxycycline treatment was totally satisfactory. Even though associated arthromyalgias are described in some cases of Q fever as well as sporadic cases of osteoarthal infection due to Coxiella burnetii, there are no oligosymptomatic cases published as the one discussed. Some physiopathologic considerations referred to this peculiar onset are suggested.

[Inter- and intra-atrial blocks].

Inter and intra atrial-blocks are secondary to disorders in the conduction through the auricles of the sinusal impulse. These blocks are a consequence of important relays in the stimulation of the left auricle in respect to the right one. In these intra-atrial blocks there are two areas to auricular level, responding to different rhythms, because they are separated by a bi-directional block. In this paper we present three patients with various diseases; the first showed a persistent inter-atrial block, and the other two tanscient, intra-atrial blocks which persist through the whole acute process causing the interment of the patient in our Hospital.
