[Tuberculous peripheral multifocal choroiditis].

CASE REPORT: A healthy 57 year-old woman with past untreated pulmonary tuberculosis, disclosed a bilateral uveitic syndrome characte rized by iritis, vitreitis, multiple peripheral retinal punched-out lesions, and cystoid macular edema. Systemic evaluation was unremarkable except for a 30 mm tuberculin skin test. Relapses occurred after oral and periocular corticosteroids were interrupted, but the inflammation completely disappeared after a 6 month course of isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide. DISCUSSION: Intraocular tuberculosis should be considered as a treatable cause of peripheral multifocal choroiditis, after ruling out other etiologies.

[Liver disease in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Study of 100 biopsies].

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related liver disease is frequently diagnosed. We report a study about 100 liver biopsy samples (LB) in patients with HIV infection. The aim of the study has been to analyze the liver biopsy yield when a systemic disease (group A) or a chronic liver disease (group B) are suspected. Tuberculosis, all of them disseminated, was the most common finding in group A biopsy samples, and a 81% yield was obtained. Chronic active hepatitis was the most common finding group B, and profitability reached 90%. We conclude that LB is the elective method to diagnose systemic disease, in patients previously selected according to their clinical findings, and that final diagnoses and safe.

[Inadequate ADH secretion syndrome associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome].

Within the numerous complications of AIDS, we want to point out the appearance of inadequate ADH secretion syndrome (IADHSS) in 9 out of; patients, which constitutes a higher percentage than in the general population. In all cases IADHSS was associated to lung or central nervous system pathology. In one patient, IADHSS preceded the appearance Pneumocystis carinii pneumonitis. Therefore, if hyponatremia is founding AIDS patients, the existence of adrenal pathology or IADHSS should be suspected.
