[Severe forms of liver involvement in visceral leishmaniasis. Apropos of 7 cases].

In a series of 180 cases of Kala-azar, hepatic involvement was found in 16 patients. The authors report 7 cases of severe hepatitis with cytolysis, cholestasis and liver failure. These patients presented with high triglyceride, low cholesterol and low alpha-lipoprotein blood levels. The authors suggest that an activation of the mononuclear phagocyte system might explain these abnormalities.

[Pseudotumoral lambda chain pulmonary amyloidosis].

A case is described of primary multi-nodular pulmonary amyloidosis which was "pseudotumoral" and its progress had been under observation for eight years. Protein analysis revealed that it was a monoclonal light chain and there was no evidence of myeloma. It appears to be of a local pathology and is of the same type as amyloid tumors of the bronchi.
