[Infection for papillomavirus in the man. Current state].

The Virus of the Human Papiloma (HPV), classically he/she has been related with infections of sexual transmission and processes wicked oncologists of the feminine genital apparatus and with less frequency of the masculine one. The new technical diagnostics, based on molecular biology (by means of polymerase chain reaction), they help to a better epidemic approach, an improvement in the I diagnose viral, and a correct therapeutic focus. The object of this work is to revise the current state of the HPV from the points of view etiopathogenics, epidemic, clinical, diagnosis, therapeutic and preservative.

Clinical Trials as Topic↗

[Leprosy simulating other diseases].

The low current prevalence of leprosy in Spain together with the diversity of its clinical expression make the detection of this disease difficult. Three native and three imported cases are here reported. Different specialists mistook this disease for other entities: familial polyneuropathy, autoimmune disease, tuberculosis, cutaneous mycosis, and cutaneous sarcoidosis. Lepra is a very polymorphic disease and its diagnosis is based on finding cutaneous hypoesthesic lesions, neural thickening and presence of acid-fast bacilli (in cutaneous specimens or nasal exudates).

Alveolar proteinosis and nocardiosis: a patient treated by bronchopulmonary lavage.

Alveolar proteinosis is a relatively rare disease of unclear pathogenesis associated with opportunistic-infections. Although nocardiosis is the most frequent one, only 22 cases have been reported previously and are reviewed here. We present a patient with alveolar proteinosis with nocardiosis treated as an emergency with bilateral bronchopulmonary lavage and antibiotics. No previous cases of this association have been successfully managed in this way.

Successful kidney transplantation in leprosy and transitory recurrence of the disease.

A 40-year-old woman on chronic hemodialysis had been diagnosed as having lepromatous leprosy at the age of 17 and treated for 15 years with sulfones. She remained clinically free of leprosy during 19 months of hemodialysis and then underwent successful renal transplantation. Fourteen months after surgery, recurrence of leprosy was observed. In spite of immunosuppression, the skin lesions healed with sulfone treatment. Renal transplantation is a useful treatment in patients with leprosy and chronic renal failure.

[Neonatal listeriosis: third Spanish series on 45 observations (author's transl)].

During the period January'69-June'81, 45 cases of listeriosis in neonatal period were observed. 37 of them had an early onset (82%) while other eight had late infection disease (18%). Incidence was 1/6,346 newborns with most frequent presentation in spring. No epidemic forms or asymptomatic carriers were discovered. Perinatal, clinical, analytical, radiological, bacteriologic and pathological data are shown, emphasizing differences between the two clinical forms. Overall mortality of 43%, although brought to zero in the last six years, together with the same percentage of neurological sequela in the late form, urges for better knowledge of epidemiology and preventive measures, as well as a closer obstetric-neonatal relationship.

[Pregnant vaginal carriers of beta-haemolytic streptococcus group B (author's transl)].

Vaginal schwabs of 142 pregnant women in different stages of pregnancy have been studied. 45 women who weren't pregnant and had no signs of vaginal infections, were the control group of the study. A higher incidence of "Streptococcus agalactiae" in vaginal schwabs of women who weren't pregnant (15.5%), as compared to the pregnant women (7.1%) was observed. A lower incidence of "Streptococcus agalactiae" was found in the last three months of pregnancy (1.8%) which is in direct relation to the low number of neonatal sepsis caused by "Steptococcus agalactiae" found in our country.
