Cryptosporidium hominis and Isospora belli diarrhea in travelers returning from West Africa.

Travel-related diarrhea is common among tourists to developing countries. We report two cases of diarrhea due to Cryptosporidium hominis and Isospora belli, respectively, in a child and an adult returning from Africa, without other associated microorganisms. We emphasize the need to detect underdiagnosed coccidiosis in diarrheic travelers with specific methods.

Inherited autoinflammatory recurrent fevers.

Autoinflammatory diseases have a quite similar clinical picture and are characterised by recurrent episodes of fever, joint features, abdominal features and skin features. Auto-inflammatory syndrome are related to mutations in genes implied in apoptosis or inflammation. FMF's gene is MEFV, present on the short arm of the chromosom 6, encoding the pyrin or marenostrie which is widely expressed in neutrophils and monocyts and implied in the control of the inflammation.
