[Diagnostic suspicion. Clinical, epidemiological, radiological, and endoscopic aspects of bronchopulmonary cancer in Senegal. Apropos of 700 endoscopies performed at the Hôpital Principal de Dakar from 1987 to 1990].

700 bronchial fiber endoscopies were performed at Dakar Main Hospital over a period of 3 consecutive years. 40 broncho-pulmonary cancers were identified (34 epidermoids, 4 adeno-cancers, 2 small cell cancers) among the 80 suspect cases. Comparison of clinical, radiological and endoscopic data revealed the following information: 1. most frequently radiology showed retractile, pulmonary condensation syndrome (40 cases); 2. a large predominance of close, bulging tumours (45 times) in relation to endoscopic bronchial stenosis (22 times); 3. almost exclusive identification of bronchial epidermoid cancer in this series (34 times); 4. the masculine sex and use of tobacco remain 2 unavoidable elements in this pathology. Bronchial endoscopy, a simple, indispensible examination, allows the lesion to be visualized, and a biopsy, on its own or associated with endoscopic cysto-brushing and alveolus washing, can then furnish conclusive histological proof.

[Preliminary study of the antagonistic effects between fosfomycin and beta-lactams on Pseudomonas aeruginosa observed on the antibiogram].

Antagonism patterns between beta-lactams (BL) and fosfomycin (FOS) were observed in antibiotic assay by agar diffusion method against the most of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. This antagonism was confirmed by antibiotic assays made on Mueller-Hinton agar containing subinhibiting concentrations of FOS. FOS + BL combinations, studied on the strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 by means of checker board method, exhibit antagonism of FOS concentrations below 1 mg/l on ceftriaxone, piperacillin, ticarcillin and, less strongly, on imipenem. These results suggest that in vivo combination FOS + BL dosages must avoid low concentrations of FOS at the site of infection.

[Invasive infections by Streptococcus pyogenes].

Invasive infections by Streptococcus pyogenes continually increase both in France and in others industrialized countries. Because of the seriousness, the rapidity of the evolution and the epidemic potentialities, guidelines for managing these infections are requested by the Superior Council of Public Hygiene of France. The authors report herein a case of an adult stricken down by a violent evolution due to Streptococcus pyogenes. They point up how diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis for family circle are difficult.

[From suspicion to diagnosis. Clinical, epidemiological, radiological and endoscopic aspects of bronchopulmonary cancer in Senegal. Apropos of 700 endoscopies performed at the Principle Hospital of Dakar from 1987 to 1990].

700 bronchial endoscopies were performed over a period of three years at the Dakar "Hôpital Principal". 40 bronchopulmonary cancers were identified (34 epidermoid, 4 adenocarcinoma, 2 with "small cells") out of 80 suspect cases. When we examine the clinical, radiological, endoscopic features, we are able to classify the following as the most established facts: 1. Higher radiological frequency of the pulmonary retractile condensation syndrome (40 cases). 2. Main frequency of proximal granulated tumors (45) in comparison with endoscopic bronchial stenosis (22). 3. Identification almost exclusive of bronchial epidermoid cancer in that series (34). 4. Male sex and smoking are two unequivocal elements of that pathology. Bronchial endoscopy, absolutely necessary test easy to perform and to get, enables to visualize a lesion and to bring forward the indisputable histological evidence through the biopsy either alone or associated with endoscopic brushing and alveolar washing.
