[Is human Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens parasitosis mor frequent than it appears on the Mediterranean coast?].

Some observations of human parasitism by Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens are frequently enough reported but they are also individually reported by different authors. Nïmes's geographical situation makes of it a privileged observatory for this helminthiasis. The worm's maturity varies depending on the subjects: the sensitivity of those and the clinical reactions are of a large variety. The ones that seem to be constant are the parasit's migrations in the different territories during a lot of months. It is the case in the observation reported here; in another article, we have shown the possibility of an intraperitoneal migration which discovery can be only of an extreme fate. Next to some noisy manifestations, other cases stayed quiet advise the adaptation of some autochtones submissed to iteratif infestations.

[A case of disseminated Encephalitozoon intestinalis microsporidiosis in an AIDS patient in Nîmes].

The pathogene's role importance of the microsporidia in nature is considerable. The human being, easily in contact, presents clinical manifestations only with some of them and in a very occasional manner. The increased frequency of the immunodepression has permitted to describe recently a new protozoon, Encephalitozoon intestinalis (alias Septata intestinalis) of the family of the Glugeidae and the human illness of which it is the agent. This parasitose is interesting to be presented because of its rarity and its circulation to organs far from one another. The diagnostic has been done thanks to the only optic microscope and confirmed from its visible efficacity of one cure of albendazole. The pyrimethamine could present a relative efficiency on a relapse of the sinusitis.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

[Pneumocystis carinii in the bone marrow].

Pneumocystis carinii is observed in the bone marrow of two adults immuno-compromised; the initial diseases are on the one hand a Hodgkin's disease, on the other hand a malignant lymphoma for immunocytoma type, which necessitate heavy and invalidating treatments. A Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia with respiratory distress seems to have carrying away two patients death. Eventually pathogenic part of the parasite in the bone marrow localization.

Adult

[Epidemiology of giardiasis].

Prevalence analysis in the Gard; fluctuations according to seasons, age and sex. Statement a excystation method after passage in a induction solution; observations and excystation rate. Cysts resistance study in exterior middle at various temperature: at dry from -5 degrees C to 40 degrees C, in fresh water from -5 degrees C to 20 degrees C and in sea water at 10 degrees and 20 degrees C. Epidemiologic consequences.

Adolescent

[Intraperitoneal dirofilariasis].

Discovery of Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens during a pancreatectomy in the adipose tissue of the pancreas. Brief description of the worm and transverse sections which show longitudinal ridges of the cuticule (photo no 4). Clinical history, pathological anatomy study of liver; mesenteric infarction and patient's death two weeks after the operation. Parasitosis known in the South of France near at hand littoral pools but any visceral topographical diagnosis had never been signaled in France.
