Background: Little data exist on the presence of resistant pathogens in day-old chicks imported into Benin. The occurrence of pathogenic bacteria was assessed in 180 one-day-old chicks imported from Belgium and received at the Cardinal Bernardin Gantin International Airport in Cotonou (Benin). The samples included swabbing the blisters of 180 chicks, followed by 18 pools of 10 swabs for bacterial isolation.

Lung metastases developed 46 months later and were responsible for death despite further chemotherapy. Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is an exceptional tumour, as only 23 cases satisfying the criteria defined by Feek and Hunter have been reported in the literature.

The authors report the case of a non-alcoholic 73-year-old man, treated for arrhythmia with amiodarone for 2 months, and hospitalized because of jaundice and hepatomegaly. There was an important increase in serum alkaline phosphatase activity (4 times the normal value) and a moderate increase in the serum activity of transaminases (3-4 times the normal value). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography was normal.

The pathogenesis of the liver damage was assessed with the help of multidimensional analysis of a number of clinical variables. According to the severity of the hepatic lesions, the patients have been ranged in five groups: O (normal liver) 10%; I (fatty liver) 48%; II (fatty hepatitis) 26%; III (fatty fibrosis) 8%; IV (fatty cirrhosis) 8%.

We report the first case of gastric leiomyoblastoma successfully treated by endoscopic resection, in a 76-year-old woman presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

The case of a 28-year-old epileptic woman, treated for 3 months with carbamazepine and who developed jaundice, fever and exfoliative dermatitis is reported. Biological investigations showed an increase in the activity of serum transaminases and alkaline phosphatases as well as in the blood eosinophilic count. Liver biopsy revealed centrolobular necrosis and cholestasis with portal inflammatory infiltrate.

The authors report 15 cases of nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) of the liver observed in 10 women and 5 men during a 9 year period. Gastrointestinal bleeding due to ruptured esophageal varices revealed the liver disease in 11 cases. Hepatomegaly and splenomegaly were noted in 9 cases and ascites in 7.

X-ray series, fiberoptic endoscopy, and computerized transverse tomography showed mucosal bridges in the upper esophagus. Histologically, these bridges were constituted from normal epithelium overlying a chronic inflammatory lamina propria, without evidence of Hodgkin's disease recurrence or of squamous cell carcinoma.

The authors emphasise the necessity for rigourous criteria of histological identification, the basis of the therapeutic decision; the risk on onset of hemoperitoneum suggests radical treatment before the compliction, considering the operative risk, in relation to the site of the lesions and their macroscopic appearance. The notion of rareness and the histogenesis of the disease are also considered.
