[Anguilluliasis hyperinfection in a patient receiving corticosteroids: hepatic and biliary involvement].

A case of strongyloidiasis hyperinfection is reported in a 59 year-old man who presented cortico-dependent bronchial asthma. Several points of this case are uncommon: the long latency period (40 years), simultaneous aggravation of asthma requiring increasing doses of corticosteroids, and above all, liver and biliary tract involvement. Disseminated strongyloidiasis is widely believed to be precipitated by impairment of cell-mediated immunity. It is therefore unlikely that infestation of the liver and the biliary tract can interfere with hepatic function.

Relationship among beta-adrenergic blockade, propranolol concentration, and liver function in patients with cirrhosis.

In 20 patients with cirrhosis we studied the relationship among the efficiency of beta-adrenergic blockade induced by oral administration of 40 mg propranolol, the plasma level of propranolol, and the liver function. The beta-adrenergic blockade was studied 2 h and 8 h after propranolol administration and assessed by the cardiac chronotropic response to isoprenaline. Liver function was evaluated by a standard liver function test and the Child-Turcotte or Pugh score. The beta-adrenergic blockade and propranolol plasma concentration were higher 2 h than 8 h after propranolol administration. The beta-adrenergic blockade and the propranolol plasma concentration varied widely among patients. No significant correlation was found between the efficiency of beta-blockade and propranolol concentration. The beta-adrenergic response before propranolol administration was correlated with bilirubin level and Child scores, but no significant correlation was found between the beta-blockade and the severity of liver disease. These results suggest that in patients with cirrhosis, differences in response to propranolol are not related to differences in the severity of the liver disease or to differences in propranolol concentration.

[Results of bacteriological technics and demonstration of pneumococcal antigens by counterimmunoelectrophoresis in 40 cases of Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia].

This study is conducted on 45 patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonias. Counter-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) (detection of pneumococcal polysaccharides antigens in serum and/or urine and/or pleural fluid) and conventional bacteriological technics (blood culture and/or thoracentesis and/or transtracheal function) have been performed in all cases. Streptococcus pneumoniae has been identified with conventional bacteriological technics in 27 patients. Pneumococcal antigens have been identified in 28 patients. Both technics have been positive in 10 patients. The detection of antigens has been positive in 7 on 8 pleural fluids. The CIE is very useful in patients who has been treated by antibiotics before bacteriological examination of samples (6 CIE + and 1 bacteriological technic +). The association of the two technics is very useful. The percentage of cases with CIE / and bacteriology - is 40% (18 cases). The percentage of cases with bacteriology + and CIE - is 37.7% (17 cases).
