[Primary ciliary dyskinesia, presentation of an atypical case].

Primay ciliary dyskinesia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by abnormal ciliary structure and function and chronic lung, sinus and middle ear disease. A 45-year-old man with a history of recurrent respiratory infections, which was developped in the adult age, and was presented with moderate clinical involvement, and spermatic hypomotility in seminogram. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis was based on the typical clinical picture and the electron microscopical demonstration of ultrastructural abnormalities. We found abnormal number of cilia on the bronchial mucosa cells and the ciliary structure was abnormal too. We observed abnormally short dynein arms and defective radial spokes.

[Eosinophilic gastroenteritis, apropos a new case].

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon disorder, characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of gut wall, with variable clinical features, depending affected layer of the wall and digestive area, but usually consisting in abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting. Etiopathogenesis is unknown, with a frequent allergic condition and good response to corticosteroids therapy. Although the existence of eosinophilic gastroenteritis may be suggested by abdominal manifestations, an allergic history with laboratory date and ESR normal, only the antral or intestinal biopsy might to confirm the diagnostic. We report a case of a patient with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and history of bronchial asthma, without evidence of intestinal parasitosis, and a spectacular response to corticosteroids therapy.

[Adrenal mass and adrenal insufficiency].

Primary adrenal insufficiency is a non frequent disease, that is declared in young adults and in the most of the cases is produced from an autoimmune mechanism or a tuberculous disease. The incidence of these forms in the different geographic areas is dependent of degree of irradication of the tuberculosis. We report the case of a patient with latent chronic adrenal insufficiency of tuberculous origin who was affected for an addisonian crisis during an intercurrent infectious disease, which permitted the diagnosis of the addisonian crisis, and Mal of Pott was moreover detected. Evolution with corticosteroid and specific treatment was very favorable.

[Acute acalculous cholecystitis complicating the presentation of cardiac tamponade as the initial manifestation of a pulmonary carcinoma].

The finding of a cardiac tamponade (CT) as initial manifestation of lung cancer is rare, being its most frequent manifestations dyspnea, cough and edemas. The presence of alithiasic acute cholecystitis (AAC) as early manifestation of CT is extremely rare, despite this having being described related to other situations of low cardiac output. We present the case of a patient who underwent emergency surgery due to AAC as a form of presentation of CT, this being the initial manifestation of a pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The histopathological study of the liver and the vesicle were compatible with signs of short evolution venous stasis, and the diagnosis was established through pericardium biopsy and thoracic CAT.

[Langerhans cell granulomatosis with unifocal bone disease and asymptomatic pulmonary infiltration].

Langerhans' cell granulomatosis is a usually benign disease, characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans' cell containing S-100 protein. Disease is related with the smoking habit and immunological alterations, and is able to affect any organ in isolated or multisystem form. Diagnosis is provided by biopsy of the lesion and bronchoalveolar lavage if the lung is injured. We present a case of a smoker man with lytic lesion in the skull, which biopsy was diagnostic, and with an asymptomatic interstitial infiltrates lungs, with a restrictive spirometry. Remission was achieved with prednisone (0.75 mg x kg) and stop smoking.

[A clinical epidemiological study of Mediterranean boutonneuse fever in the Cartagena area].

Clinical and epidemiological features of 72 cases of boutonneuse fever, detected from 1979 to 1986 at the "Hospital del Insalud de Cartagena" (Murcia), are reviewed. The most important clinical features are commented on (fever, rash, tache noire), as well as the less important (dizziness, cough, conjunctivitis, sensorial changes). Several epidemiological factors were analyzed, temperature having been found to be the most significant in our area. The complications observed mainly affected patients with risk factors (senility, thrombocytopenia, hyponatremia, high blood pressure) being particularly severe in a patient who developed lethal DIC and in another 2 who developed pulmonary thromboembolism. The prophylactic measures suggested were the strict control of animals susceptible to parasites and organizing of disinfestation campaigns in the endemic areas.

[Weber Christian disease with immunoblastic lymphoma. Apropos of a case].

The clinical case of a female patient suffering Weber Christian disease of long evolution with cutaneous and systemic manifestations, involvement of the mesenteric and epicardic fat and that later involved to immunoblastic lymphoma is presented. The different etiopathogenic factors are discussed.
