Recurrent hemolytic-uremic syndrome. A report of two cases.

Two boys suffering from the hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) are presented. One of them developed four episodes of the disease beginning at infancy, the other one had at least two episodes which were associated with mild portal fibrosis of the liver. Between the attacks of the disease, the children were completely healthy, and no renal or hematological abnormalities were detected. Both patients are now physically and mentally well developed healthy young men. The relatioship between HUS and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is briefly discussed.

Primary psoas abscess three years after ipsilateral nephrectomy.

We report an unusual case of primary, right psoas abscess caused by Proteus mirabilis which developed three years after ipsilateral nephrectomy. The diagnosis was established by computer tomography, recommended today as superior to other diagnostic methods of demonstration for the retroperitoneum.

A rare presentation of systemic salmonellosis.

We are reporting an unusual case of disseminated Salmonella enteritidis D, phage group E2 infection in an 18-year-old male, which was resistant to massive antibiotic treatment. Rare complications such as pylephlebitis, mediastinal adenopathy, osteomyelitis with pathological clavicular fracture, osteitis and spondylitis were observed. We found an immunological defect that no doubt contributed to this severe illness.

Cutaneous manifestations of infection with Corynebacterium group JK.

Multiple necrotic soft tissue lesions were observed in the groin of a granulocytopenic patient with Corynebacterium group JK septicemia. Complete healing followed vancomycin therapy. Review of the English-language literature disclosed that skin and soft tissue manifestations were seen in one-quarter of the patients with Corynebacterium group JK septicemia, all of whom were granulocytopenic; in no case of endocarditis were similar findings reported. The majority of lesions consisted of local infections at sites of previous bone marrow biopsy, intravascular catheter insertion, or perianal fissure; they preceded septicemia and were designated primary lesions. Less often, skin and soft tissue manifestations--including papular skin rash, soft tissue abscesses, and necrotic soft tissue lesions--developed in patients with established septicemia and were considered secondary.
