Intracardiac thrombus in Behçet's disease: a rare case in Morocco.

Behçet's syndrome is a systemic inflammatory disease generally presented with the triad of uveitis, oral and genital ulcers. However, it may present with gastrointestinal, central nervous system, skin and vascular disease manifestations. Intracardiac thrombus is a rare but serious complication of Behçet's disease.

[IManagement of patients with relapsed primary naso-sinusal tuberculosis].

Primary naso-sinusal tuberculosis (TB) is a relatively rare or exceptional disorder characterized by polymorphic or non-specific clinical manifestation. Diagnosis is based on anatomo-pathological examination and mycobacteriology test of biopsy specimen. Predictor of good outcome is early conventional anti-tuberculous antibiotic therapy.

Prevalence and risk factors for latent tuberculosis infection among healthcare workers in Morocco.

Increased prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) has been observed among high-risk populations such as healthcare workers (HCWs). The results may depend on the method of LTBI assessment, interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) and/or tuberculin skin test (TST). Here, we investigated the prevalence and risk factors for LTBI assessed by both IGRAs and TST in HCWs living in Morocco, a country with intermediate tuberculosis (TB) endemicity and high BCG vaccination coverage.
