[Pleuropericarditis: early systemic manifestation of an active chronic hepatitis (author's transl)].

A case of relapsing pleuropericarditis is reported in which no etiological factors were found initially, especially in relation to any possible collagen disease. A retrospective review of the clinical, biological, and histological findings, coupled with the nature of the progression of the disease, suggested to the authors that this was the first expression of a systemic disease which later developed signs of Gougerot-Sjögren's syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and, three and a half years later, an active chronic hepatitis.

[Clometacine hepatitis. 2 cases (author's transl)].

Two women (aged 72 and 78 years) developed hepatitis due to clometacine. The main laboratory abnormalities were raised transaminases and blood eosinophil count. In one of these cases, in which the initial histological lesions had the appearance of aggressive chronic hepatitis, there was progression to cirrhosis despite the interruption of treatment. The mechanism of this hepatotoxicity is probably a hypersensitivity reaction.

[Bone, joint, spinal and pelvic-spinal localizations of sarcoidosis (apropos of a case)].

Authors report on one case of particularly flourishing and evolutive sarcoidosis that conditioned numerous manifestations among which stand out lesions interesting one hip and one sacro-iliac articulation and also extensive and destructive bone lesions. This case is for them an opportunity for recalling the major facts related with bone lesions and articular manifestations of sarcoidosis and for calling attention on the spinal and pelvic-spinal involvements. The latter, when signs of bone lysis exist, are evocative of a neoplasm. More often, spondylodiscitis, coexisting sometimes with spindle-like paravertebral pictures, let think of tuberculosis. Confusion would be unavoidable if such facts, in spite of their rareness, were not better known.
