[Spontaneous perforation of the rectum. One case (author's transl)].

A 48-year-old man, operated upon with a diagnosis of perforation of a hollow viscus, in whom a spontaneous perforation of the rectum was discovered. Such perforations are rare since only 36 cases have been reported in the literature. The mechanism is unknown and various factors have been suggested, including increased pressure or local ischaemia. Treatment is rendered difficult by local infection and the frequently fragile general condition of the patients.

[Therapy of fungal septicemia and bounds (author's transl)].

The authors present the results of therapy in 26 cases of fungal septicemia occurring in a 2,471 patients population with 169 septicemia, over a 9 year period in a surgical intensive care service. An analysis of the etiology, clinical and paraclinical factors confirms the notions classically described in the literature. Three points are particularly insisted upon: 1) The effectiveness of preventive measures; 2) The monitoring of the therapy and its tolerance by means of a simple protocol; 3) The eventual possibility of an haematologic toxicity by flucytosine, the primary and secondary resistances to this anti-fungal agent. The strict application of preventive measures seems to reduce the incidence of fungal septicemia but not to eradicate them. The prognosis of these states remains grave.
