[Olmesartan therapy and enteropathy: About two cases and review of the literature].

Introduction: Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, used to treat arterial hypertension. Severe digestive manifestations have been associated with olmesartan, including sprue-like enteropathy and lymphocytic colitis.

Observations: We report two cases of sprue-like enteropathy associated with olmesartan, leading to malabsorption syndrome related to villous atrophy.

Minimising the risk of Mycobacterium chimaera infection during cardiopulmonary bypass by the removal of heater-cooler units from the operating room.

Introduction: Mycobacterium chimaera ( M. chimaera) is a recently characterised bacterium that can cause life-threatening infections in small numbers of patients who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery. The likely mode of transmission is thought to occur through aerosolisation from contaminated water reservoirs.

[Facial diplegia as the presenting feature of Lyme disease].

Introduction: Diagnosis of neuroborreliosis may be difficult. Neuroborreliosis mainly results in lymphocytic meningitis and in meningoradiculitis (67-83% of cases).

Case Report: We report the case of a patient who developed a sudden facial diplegia, revealing neuroborreliosis proved by positive blood and cerebrospinal fluid serology.

[Acute reactive arthritis after intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guérin. Two case reports and literature review].

Introduction: Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy-associated articular complications are uncommon, occurring in only 0.5 to 1% of the patients.

Observations: We report two patients who were given intravesical BCG therapy for superficial bladder cancer.
