A significant geographical area for the study of the epidemiological and ecological aspect of Mediterranean sporothricosis.

Two cases of sporothricosis originating from the same geographical area (Province of Barcelona) are described, including the circumstances of infection and the isolation of a wild strain of Sporothrix schenckii at the same locality. This finding could classify this particular area as a zone of interest in the epidemiological and ecological study of the mediterranean sporothricosis.

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita or neonatal lupus?

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a cutaneous vascular abnormality characterized by a persistent cutis marmorata pattern, spider nevuslike telangiectasia, and superficial ulceration. An infant girl was noted at birth to have characteristic features of CMTC as well as anti-Ro/SSA antibodies and a positive autonuclear antibody (ANA) test. Serologic studies carried out on her mother were positive for Ro/SSA antibodies as well as ANA (titer 1:2560). Therefore the diagnosis of neonatal lupus was made. We propose that livedo patterns mimicking CMTC might sometimes represent the residual phase of neonatal lupus active during intrauterine life.

[Freeman-Sheldon syndrome: generalized muscular rigidity after anesthetic induction].

We describe a case of generalized muscle rigidity in a 2-year-old patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome undergoing surgery for eventration of the diaphragm after anesthetic induction with halothane and succinylcholine. Anesthetic induction was by mask with oxygen, nitrous oxide and halothane, with succinylcholine as a muscle relaxant. Approximately 10 minutes after start of induction, muscular rigidity appeared and developed rapidly, becoming severe and compromising ventilation. Tracheal intubation was attempted without success, owing to stiffness of the masseter muscles. Sodium dantrolene 2.5 mg/kg was administered and relaxation was achieved immediately for both masseter and peripheral muscles, such that the patient recovered spontaneous breathing. We conclude that there is risk of association between Freeman-Sheldon syndrome and malignant hyperthermia.
