[Lymph node and cutaneous tuberculosis revealed by a pyloroduodenal stenosis: a case report].

Lymphadenitis is the most frequent form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In immunocompetent patients, its clinical presentation is usually superficial, less frequently intra-abdominal located, and exceptionnally symptomatic. We report a case of scrofuloderma characterized by the lymph nodes extent of spread which led to a pyloro-duodenal stenosis. An 18 years old immunocompetend man is admitted in the internal medicine department, presenting a pyloroduodenal stenosis syndrome, fever, weight loss, and ulcerated axillary and cervical lymph nodes. The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and ultrasound examination reveal the extrinsic duodenal compression by large numerous lymph node. A biopsy confirms the tuberculosis disease for which no other localisation was detected. Despite of the diagnostic and therapeutic delay, which explains the expanse and depth of the lesions, the antituberculosis therapy was effective on the digestive symptom and cleared all the cutaneous manifestations.

[Hepatic tuberculosis of the pseudotumoral form].

The authors report a case of a 30 years old immunocompetent woman with liver tuberculosis with an unusual pseudotumoral presentation and secondary occurrence of abcedation with cutaneous fistulization. The diagnosis was based on the bacteriological positivity for acido-alcoolo resistant bacillus in pus of the abscess obtained by ponction guided by ultrasonographic examination. The authors emphasize in the differential diagnosis with the other causes of liver abscess (amibiasis and pyogenic microorganisms) and liver carcinoma. They also note the importance of the function guided by ultrasonographic examination permitting histologic and bacte+ériologic study in the diagnosis of this unusual presentation of liver tuberculosis. The patient was treated by antibacillary antibiotics and evacuation function. The prognostic was good with 6 months of follow-up.

[Description of a case of Cacchi Ricci disease associated with hyperparathyroidism in the setting of multiple endocrine disease].

The authors present a case of a 36 years old woman applied to them for a follow up of sponge kidney disease and in whom they discovered a primary hyperparathyroidism. Further investigations discovered a medullary thyroid carcinoma. So this patient present multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2A confirmed by microscopic and genetic analysis. This observation enlarged the discussion upon the nature of the relationship between kidney disease and primary hyperparathyroidism. Elsewhere it recommended to check systematically genetic markers of MEN type 2A if there is an association with sponge kidney disease and primary hyperparathyroidism.

[Crusted scabies in Dakar apropos of 11 cases seen in a year].

We reported 11 cases of crusted scabies observed during one year in our department. The mean age of the patients was 33 years with extremes at 14 and 49 years. The sex ratio was 1,2. HIV infection was the most common associated disease (45% of the patients). Ten patients had been treated with Ivermectin (200 micrograms/kg). The drug was efficient and well tolerated. For these reasons, we recommend to use Ivermectin as a drug of choice in the treatment of crusted scabies.

[Autosomal dominant polycystosis in the hospital milieu in Dakar (Senegal)].

Autosomial dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an hereditary affection transmitted in a autosal dominant pattern with variable penetrancy. Diagnosis is based upon ultrasound examination and/or familial history. The authors present a 8 years retrospective hospital study in order to precise the epidemiological and clinico-biological aspects of ADPKD in Dakar. So 23 patients were studied. The mean age at the diagnosis was 46 years. They were 9 men and 14 women (sex ratio 0.64). A past history of familial nephropathy was found in 52.2% of cases. The circumstances of diagnosis were dominated by lombar pain (52.2%) and hypertension (17.4%) but at examination, blood pressure was high in 34.8% and represent the main factor of worsening the disease. Enlargement of kidney was found in 47.8% and hepatomegaly in 13% of cases. Anemia was particularly common 56.5%. The most frequent extra renal manifestation was the liver cysts and occurs mainly in women. National prevalence of ADPKD and the specific gene should be precise in further studies.
