The two cases were revealed by anemia, hyperthermia with enlargement of the liver and the spleen. Clinical course was unfavorable. Therefore, the early diagnosis of leukemia remains very important in patient with Down syndrome presenting hyperthermia with hepatosplenomegaly.

Renal insufficiency as a complication of severe malaria is a rare pathology. A case was observed in young girl aged 10.5 years following Plasmodium malaria fever. Clinical features included severe anemia, oligo-anuria, and creatinemia of 80 mg/l. The haemoglobin electrophoresis was standard. Under furosemide, the resumption of diuresis was effective nine days later. Renal functions of the child affected by severe Plasmodium malarial fever must always be checked.

The authors report for first time in Congo two cases of Kawasaki syndrome. One case from a five years boy carried out a typical form of an adeno-mucocutaneous syndrome; the other from a six month little girl was an incomplete form. In both cases, the immediate development has been excellent. The scarceness of this syndrome among the blacks and the diagnostic difficulties have been the background of the interest of this work.

[Early isosexual precocious pseudopuberty revealing a juvenile granulosa cell tumor in a 3-year-old Congolese girl].

We describe a juvenile granulosa cell tumor expressed by an early pseudopuberty occurring in a 3-year-old black child. Clinically, an endocrine syndrome was associated with a pelvic mass and ascites. Hyperoestrogenia and serum alphafetoprotein level were biologically detected. Histological examination showed typical microscopic features of a granulosa cell tumor. The patient is well four years after surgery. Growth and mental development are normal.
