[The intermediate syndrome during organophosphorus pesticide poisoning].

Acute intoxication by organophosphate pesticides is frequent in Morocco. We report two cases of malathion poisoning complicated by intermediate syndrome. The purpose of this work is to describe distinctive features of this syndrome, it arises 48-96 h after the cholinergic crisis and it is characterized by respiratory paresis with difficulties of weaning from the assisted respiratory, deficit of proximal limbs, neck flexors, and cranial nerves.

[Phantom thoracic opacity].

The etiology of the respiratory distress syndrome is dominated by pulmonary edema and the septic shock. We report a rare etiology of a respiratory distress secondary to a rupture of a well treated tuberculous latero-tracheal adenopathy. A 24-year-old woman was treated a year ago for a peripheral and mediastinal lymph node tuberculosis confirmed by the biopsy of a left supra clavicular adenopathy, by two months of isoniazid-rifampicin-pyrazinamide-ethambutol and seven months of isoniazid-rifampicin.

[Intermediary syndrome in acute malathion poisoning].

Background: Acute poisoning by an organophosphorus insecticide is frequently observed in Morocco. We report a case of malathion poisoning complicated by an intermediate syndrome.

Case Report: A 42-year-old woman was hospitalized 3 hours after ingestion of 50 g of malathion.

[Anaphylactic shock caused by application of fluorescein on the ocular conjunctiva].

Objective: Fluorescein is widely used in ophthalmology. Side effects related to fluorescein occur frequently but are usually benign (nausea, vomiting, lipothymia). Severe side effects are rare.

[Acute hepatic steatosis in pregnancy can be cured without interrupting the pregnancy].

Fatty liver during pregnancy is an acute hepatic disease of unknown origin. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman in whom the diagnosis was made on the basis of the histological examination. The disease did not disturb the normal course of the pregnancy and delivery.
