[Enterobacteriaceae isolated in nine general hospitals of the Ile-de-France in 1988 and 1989: susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics according to the length of hospitalisation].

Susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics of strains of Enterobacteriaceae consecutively isolated in nine general hospitals during a period of 2 months (march and april) has been studied by the disk-agar diffusion method. The separation between susceptible and resistant strains was based on the measure of the inhibition zones centered by 2 disks: cephalothin and ticarcillin. Enterobacteriaceae were divided in 2 groups: strains isolated during the first 48 h of hospitalisation or isolated after. Fifty one per cent of the strains were isolated during the first 48 h: they did not belong to the residential flora of these hospitals. Klebsiella, Proteus indole positive, Providencia, Enterobacter, Serratia were more frequently isolated after 48 h of hospitalisation. Susceptible strains of Klebsiella, Proteus indole positive, Providencia, Serratia were more rarely isolated after 48 h of hospitalisation. E. coli whatever the duration of hospitalisation, is the less frequent susceptible bacterium.

[Value of the estimation of gliofibrillary acid protein in the diagnosis of glial tumours (author's transl)].

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (G.F.A.P.) is characteristic of astrocytes. Its estimation in a tumour fragment removed surgically may be used to confirm whether or not a cerebral tumour is glial in nature. This was confirmed here by study of 6 cases. G.F.A.P. levels were normal only in the 2 patients whose cerebral tumours were not glial. It remains to be determined whether this estimation may be used to define a particular treatment or prognosis.

[Immunological diagnosis of echinococcosis. A study of 146 cases, including 8 with bone involvement (author's transl)].

After a study about 146 cases of echinococcosis which 8 osseous localizations, indirect immunofluorescence reactions and immunoprecipitation reactions allow for comparing between right immunologic answers in hydatid cyst of liver and hydatid cyst of bone. The right immunogenicity of osseous hydatid cyst can be explained by a close contact host-parasite and by a good vascularization and a good fertility.

[Subacute spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Apropos of 1 case].

The authors describe a case of sub-acute spongiform encephalopathy with an ultrastructural study in a man of 65 with associated dementia, extra-pyramidal syndrome, myoclonia, optical disorders, pyramidal syndrome and speech disorders, rapidly leading to death one and a half months later. Electroencephalograms were at first disorganized with persistent delta and theta activity and only in the last record did short runs of repetitive activity appear. Histologically, there was severe status spongiosus, a moderate degree of neuronal depopulation with a noticeable astrocytary gliosis. Under the electron microscope, the neuropile in the astrocytes was found to be pitted with numerous cavities and so were, to a lesser extent, the axonal projections. The vessels were normal. Nothing was found to indicate viral structures. Attention is drawn to the nosological connection between this type of observation and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

[Myotonic dystrophy severity (Steinert's disease) (author's transl)].

Four family cases of Steinert, myodystrophy are reported. The severity of the early onset form is specially noted. This form presents pulmonary complications and mental deficit. The influence of the myodystrophy on the pregnancy is discussed and an explanation of the disturbance of the oesophaguspharynx motility is presented. Physiopathogenesis problems of the Steinert's disease are noted.

[Bismuth encephalopathy in pregnant women. Apropos of a case].

A case of bismuth encephalopathy in a pregnant woman is reported. The neurological picture, characterized especially by myoclonic attacks, is no different from that found in the non-pregnant state. The principal observations are on three points: - the need to think of a toxic origin of convulsions in pregnancy, - the onset of threatened premature labour during repeated convulsive crises, - the passage of bismuth across the placenta : this has been proved by the levels found in the amniotic fluid (55 mcg per 1,000) and in the cord blood (320 mcg per 1,000). The child, who was normal at birth, developed a transient hypotonus which seemed attributable more to the treatment of the mother with Diazepam and pheno-barbitone than to her having taken bismuth during the pregnancy.
