Granulomatous disease is a serious complication of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID-GD) that occurs in 8-22% of these patients and can mimic sarcoidosis, with which it shares certain clinical, biological, and radiological features. However, few studies to date have compared the two pathologies immunologically and histologically. Therefore, we analyzed the immunological-histological findings for different tissue samples from ten patients with CVID-GD and compared them to those of biopsy-proven sarcoidosis.

Our study focuses on the conditions and diagnostic performance of clinical ultrasound imaging by infectiologists in cases of hip and knee prosthetic and native joint infection.
Methods: A retrospective study carried out between June 1st 2019 and March 31st 2021 in the University Hospital of Bordeaux, South-Western France.
Background And Aims: Complex aortic atheroma (CAA) is a common cause of acute brain ischemia (BI), including ischemic stroke (IS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA), and is associated with recurrence. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is a useful tool for predicting stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and can also predict cardiovascular events in other populations, including non-AF populations. The ADAM-C score is a new risk score for predicting the diagnostic yield of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) after BI.

We aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of TEE and to build a score that could help physicians to identify which patients should better benefit from TEE.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational study included patients over 18 years old, hospitalized for BI.
