Betahistine-induced bronchospasm.

Betahistine is a cerebral vasodilator structurally related to histamine, which stimulates H1 bronchial and vascular receptors. We report the case of a 28-year-old female patient who presented bronchospasm during treatment with betahistine hydrochloride. The prick test was negative. The oral challenge test showed bronchospasm and urticarial lesions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of betahistine-induced bronchospasm reported in the literature. The study carried out failed to reveal the mechanism of the reaction.

Squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the endometrium as superficial extension of cervical carcinoma.

Squamous cell carcinomas of the endometrium, either primary or secondary extending from the cervix, are rare. We report a 52-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the cervix associated with squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the endometrium. The patient had received pelvic cobalt therapy 10 years earlier. She presented to the hospital with discomfort in the lower abdomen. Examination revealed vaginal stenosis and pyometra. After cervical cytology and a biopsy showing squamous cell carcinoma in situ, a wide abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (Wertheim modification) was performed. The unusual presentation of cervical carcinoma with a history of previous radiation treatment suggests the need for performing more cytologic and histologic studies on these patients, because of the risk of developing a secondary malignancy.

[AIDS: clinical and necropsy correlation. Analysis of 45 patients].

We have reviewed the autopsies performed on 45 AIDS patients who died in our hospital until June 1989, comparing the post-mortem diagnosis with those made while the patient was alive and in his last hospital admission. Bacterial pneumonia, CMV infection and atypical mycobacteria were the diseases most frequently unnoticed. On the contrary, HIV encephalitis and pulmonary mycosis were the disease with the greatest number of non confirmed clinical diagnosis. The routine performance of necropsy studies to AIDS patients permits to know the most prevalent infections in our environment and should improve the diagnostic precision.
