[Joint manifestations and parvovorus B19 infections: 8 cases].
Human Parvovirus B19 (PB19) may cause joint manifestations. We report eight cases of polyarthritis associated with PB19 IgM: six cases of acute polyarthritis spontaneously resolving within a few days, and two other cases suggesting that PB19 should be responsible for accutisation of chronic disease (lupus with Kikuchi's disease and HLA B27 related arthritis).

[Deforming arthropathy associated with the presence of anti Jo-1 antibody in polymyositis. A new case].
A deforming arthropathy confined to the hands developed in a woman with polymyositis of three year's duration. Roentgenograms showed distal subluxations of several fingers, especially the thumb, asymmetrical marginal erosions of the phalanges and periarticular calcifications. These roentgenographic findings are considered to be specific of polymyositis associated with anti-Jo-1 antibody.

[Non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma and human immunodeficiency virus. Apropos of 34 cases].
The characteristics of 34 HIV-associated non Hodgkin's lymphomas diagnosed and treated at Bordeaux hospitals are described. The patients represented 7% of the AIDS cases observed in the Bordeaux area. HIV-lymphomas were almost always high-grade malignancies, usually disseminated (70%) with extranodal disease at presentation (91%) primarily in the bone marrow, meninges, gastrointestinal tract and liver. Twenty-eight patients were treated with different chemotherapy protocols or radiation therapy alone. Complete remission was achieved in 11 patients and partial remission in 3. The median survival was 3.9 months. Despite utilization of low-intensity chemotherapy regimens, opportunistic infections were not prevented. The only factor that accurately predicted complete remission was the WHO performance index. The total number of CD4-positive lymphocytes, the Ann Arbor stage and the WHO performance index were prognostic factors influencing survival. These results justify the use of high-intensity regimens, but only for patients without opportunistic infection and with a WHO performance index below 3.

Effect of a low-protein diet on urinary albumin excretion in uremic patients.
Fifteen patients with advanced renal failure (creatinine clearance less than 25 ml/mn) and with severe albuminuria (greater than 1.5 g/24 h) were put on a low-protein (0.3 g/kg body weight), low-phosphorus (5-7 mg/kg body weight) diet supplemented with essential amino acids and ketoanalogues. During the 6-month follow-up, urinary albumin excretion and fractional renal albumin clearance were reduced significantly while serum albumin concentration increased; no nutritional change occurred during the study.
