[Five cases of zygomycosis.].

Combined histological and mycological study of tissue specimens established a proven diagnosis of cutaneous zygomycosis in four patients. All patients had been treated with wide spectrum antibiotics and one patient (liver transplantation) was in addition also treated with cyclosporine. All had acidosis and cutaneous breaks and four had also been treated with systemic corticosteroids.

[Candidemia and cutaneous lesions in two patients without intravenous drug addiction.].

We report here two cases of disseminated candidosis with typical folliculitis, cutaneous nodules and chorioretinitis in two patients with severe underlying conditions. Histological and microbiological studies showed Candida albicans in blood and cutaneous lesions. The outcome was favourable with azole systemic treatment.

Human infection with Hymenolepis diminuta: case report from Spain.

We report a case of Hymenolepis diminuta infection in a human. The patient was a 5-year-old girl referred to us through the onset of a cyanotic attack. Treatment with a single dose (10 mg/kg of body weight) of praziquantel was ineffective, but the parasite was eradicated after three treatment cycles with the same drug at dosages of 25 mg/kg/day for 5 days.
