[Cytomegalovirus colitis in a patient carrying the human immunodeficiency virus: the endoscopic image similar to pseudomembranous colitis].

Endoscopically detected ulcers and submucous haemorrhage are common findings related to cytomegalovirus infection. We report a case of cytomegalovirus colitis in a patient seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus. Endoscopic findings showed elevated, white-yellowish, small size plaques with an erythematous central depression, resembling those found in pseudomembranous colitis.

[Pleuroperitoneal shunt in the treatment of pleural effusion associated with cirrhosis].

Some patients with unbalanced hepatic cirrhosis may develop a recidivant pleural leakage resulting in relevant gas interchange disorders. In the treatment of recidivant pleural leakage, evacuative thoracocentesis and pleurodesis may be used. If these procedures fail, pleurectomy or surgery may be used, although with relevant morbidity and mortality rates. Another option, used mainly for malignant leakages, is the placement of a pleuroperitoneal shunt. We present the case of a patient with recidivant pleural leakage associated to hepatic cirrhosis, in which after the failure of paracentesis and pleurodesis, a pleuroperitoneal shunt was successfully inserted. The pleuroperitoneal shunt may be a therapeutical alternative in the recidivant pleural leakage associated to cirrhosis.
