Fatal Systemic Vasculitis Associated with Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus Infection.

Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection is a rare disease with an often fatal outcome. Cardiovascular complications are associated with a poor prognosis. We herein describe the clinical course of an adult patient with Epstein-Barr virus-associated systemic vasculitis complicated by multi-systemic aneurysmal disease.

[Adult onset Still's disease and lymphoma: a rare association].

Adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) and lymphomas are diseases characterized by very similar clinical and histopathological manifestations. The association between these diseases has rarely been reported in the literature. We here report the case of a 26-year old patient diagnosed with adult onset Still's disease.

A rare pediatric case of cutaneous gamma/delta T-cell lymphoma.

Cutaneous γ/δ T-cell lymphoma (CGD-TCL) is a recent entity described in the newly revised World health organization-European organization for research and treatment of cancer classification of cutaneous lymphomas. Only a few cases have been reported, of which two pediatric cases. A 15 years old child with a 6 months history of polyadenopathy, cutaneous lesions, general edema and deterioration of general condition was hospitalized.

[Ocular involvement in polyarteritis nodosa: two cases].

Introduction: Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a systemic vasculitis with polymorphic manifestations. Ocular involvement is rare; we report two such cases.

Cases: The first case was a 56-year-old man with PAN treated with corticosteroids.

[Severe rhabdomyolysis revealing a myopathy linked to autoimmune hypothyroidism].

While muscular manifestations are common of hypothyroidism, hypothyroid myopathy is most often limited to myalgia, muscular stiffness and cramps with, in some patients, elevated levels of muscle enzymes. We report two cases of rhabdomyolysis related to hypothyroid myopathy. One of the patients developed acute renal failure.

[Acute respiratory distress revealing severe pulmonary leptospirosis].

We return a clinical case of leptospirose revelated by a complicated febrile harp pneumopathie of a sharp respiratory distress syndrome having required a transfer in resuscitation. The goal of our article is to recall that it is necessary to think systematically about a pulmonary shape of leptospirose facing an atypical pneumopahie.

[Tuberculous tenosynovitis: an uncommon manifestation].

Introduction: Synovial sheath involvement of the foot is a rare location of tuberculosis. Its diagnosis is often delayed because of the indolent and chronicity of the clinical features.

Observation: We report a case of bilateral tuberculous tenosynovitis of the anterior tibial and the common extensor of the toes, with uneventful outcome with antituberculous therapy.
