[Emphysematous pyelonephritis. A case medically treated].
Authors report on a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis in a woman affected with diabetes and renal failure. In order to avoid chronic dialysis, no nephrectomy was performed and the patient was treated only with drugs. Full recovery was obtained, without worsening of the renal function.

Tracheoesophageal fistula caused by mycobacterial tuberculosis adenopathy.
Tracheoesophageal fistulas resulting from a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection are uncommon. We describe a patient with such a lesion that had the radiologic and clinic appearance of a malignant tracheoesophageal fistula. Use of an anterior cervical approach with one-stage esophageal repair along with tracheal resection and anastomosis allowed definitive diagnosis and treatment of this life-threatening complication.

Experience with immunoglobulins in thyroid autoimmunity.
The physiopathology of Graves' ophthalmopathy is poorly understood. Therefore, the best treatment of Graves' ophthalmopathy is still a matter of debate. Steroids, X-ray therapy, surgery and more recently cyclosporine, plasma exchange and somatostatine analogs have been tried. There is no doubt that we are dealing with an autoimmune process. The use of immunoglobulins has been shown to be safe and efficient.
