[Adverse reactions to antihypertensive drugs].

OBJECTIVE: In chronic therapies, the less number of adverse effects (AE) to drugs is decisive to improve the rate of performance and reach the protective objective. We can make comparisons in the rate of tolerance of antihypertensive drugs (AD) if we study all of them with the same method in patients with real hypertension. METHODS: Analyzed 922 hospitalized hypertensive patients looking for adverse effects (AE) reported systematically and spontaneously form, the causality must to excel in two algorithms the uncertain grade. RESULTS: 13.47% of antihypertensive drugs presented an AE, beta-blockers presented more AE than diuretics and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS: The AD haven't the same AE neither feature nor frequency. If to dependent on a poor fulfillment, we lose the protective effectiveness, the application independently of the economic cost isn't right.

[Long-course pneumonia as manifestation of transphrenic migration of a calcified hydatid cyst].

The hydatidosis disease, which is caused by the larva of the granulosus equinococcus, is still a common zoonosis in countries like Spain. The observation of a calcified hydatid cyst of the liver in an asymptomatic patient suggest a very long clinical latency period of the disease. Acute complications have been reported. We present the case of a patient with clinical symptoms of nonresolving pneumonia and an old calcified hydatid cyst of the liver. The first approach to the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia was inconclusive. The high clinical suspect of equinococcus infection added to the bronchoscopy findings, computed tomographic (CT) study and serological test, permitted the correct preoperative diagnosis. The surgical removal confirmed the diagnosis of transphrenic migration of a hydatid cyst ruptured to the bronchial tree.

[Acute bilateral ophthalmoplegia and nasopharyngeal neoplasms].

The cranial nerves, due to its location, are not infrequently involved in the nasopharyngeal neoplasm evolutionary course. In this paper we describe two cases in which the neoplastic infiltration in both cavernous sinuses brought the appearance of an acute bilateral ophthalmolegia on. This symptomatology meant, in the first case, the onset of disease. In the second one, it was the reason of consultation. Later we discuss the topographic location of the damages in both cavernous sinuses considering the observed neurological shortcomings. Finally we approach a short revision of the causes of bilateral ophthalmoplegia found in literature, as well as an evaluation of different radiological diagnosis methods for this kind of damages.
