[Scintigraphic detection of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Value and limitations].

A technetium-99m labelled red blood cell scintigraphy was performed in 51 patients with an unexplained gastro intestinal bleeding. Static images were acquired on the injection day then at 24 hours. Forty one patients had a positive scintigraphy.

[Cholestatic hepatitis caused by ketoconazole].

The authors report a new Ketoconazole-induced hepatitis in which clinical, chemical and histological features show evidence of a cholestatic injury in a 62 yrs-old female recovering once therapy is stopped. In this case-report, delay of onset of the illness is very short for a 200 mg-a-day prescription and no feature leads towards an immune response. This, may be, means that Ketoconazole-induced hepatitis should be led by an idiosyncrasic mechanism.
