Eight cases were healthy HIV carriers, three patients manifested AIDS-related complex and one case fulfilled the CDC criteria for AIDS. Nine patients had a typical Bell's palsy, two presented cephalic Herpes zoster infection with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and one, who suffered from progressive facial weakness, could be considered as having a cephalic form of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Two groups of patients are studied: 5 clinical cases and 20 serological diagnoses. 55 French cases are already published. Most of them complained of acute symptoms, which occurred within 12 h of eating the seafood meal--epigastric pain, occlusion, diffuse abdominal pain, and appendicitis. Larvae were attached to the gastric mucosa (25 cases), inciting an inflammatory response (erythema, oedema ulceration). Diagnosis of anisakiasis is made by gastroscopy which allows removal of the worms, and cures the patients. In gastro-intestinal tract X-rays, oedema in the mucosa, pseudo tumour formation, and filling defects (worm) were observed. In chronic infections, cases with intermittent feelings of ill health and abdominal pain, lasting from several weeks to months, were misdiagnosed as another intestinal disease. Positive serological reactions are helpful, and surgery is necessary for resection of the lesion; diagnosis is made histologically by an eosinophilic granuloma, and the presence of a larva with Y shaped lateral cords. Infestation rate is high in fishes: cod (88%), rock fish (86%), herring (88%), salmon, mackerel. Public health education should discourage the eating of raw fish. Thorough cooking to 70°C or adequate freezing to -20°C for 72 h are the best preventive measures. Such legislation is only in force in the Netherlands, where cases have decreased dramatically.

They appear in new foci, because of important displacements of populations, and they affect immunocompromised patients (under chemotherapy, transplanted, or HIV infected). Study of 33 cases of leishmaniasis, 22 visceral and 11 cutaneous, at the H6pital du Kremlin-Bic~tre, France, showed predominant contamination in Maghreb and in the south of France. In the case of Kala-Azar, fever (18 cases) and hepatosplenomegaly (19 cases) are frequent, and the serodiagnosis and the search of parasites by myelogram are always positive. In HIV-infected individuals, clinical signs are similar, but the serodiagnosis is less reliable. Evolution is bad in transplanted patients who must remain under immunosuppressive drugs. In the case of cutaneous leishmaniasis, diagnosis is based on local sample, while the serodiagnosis remains negative. Treatment is sometimes long, necessitating repeated treatments.

Research paper thumbnail of Disseminated Toxoplasmosis, Resulting from Infection of Allograft, after Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: Usefulness of Quantitative PCR

We report here a case of fatal disseminated toxoplasmosis after orthotopic liver transplantation from a seropositive donor (immunoglobulin G [IgG] ؉ and IgM ؊ ) in a patient who was nonimmune for toxoplasmosis prior to transplantation. Quantitative PCR analyses of various clinical specimens, including serum samples, appeared retrospectively to be a valuable diagnostic tool that might guide therapeutic attitudes.

From 01/01/2003 to 12/31/2007, 805 (mean: 161/year) PcP cases have been reported. 61% of patients were HIV-positive. The median count of CD4 lymphocytes was 32/mm3 (30 in HIV-positive patients, 158 in HIV-negative patients). In HIV-positive patients, PCP revealed the HIV infection in 39 %. Among 211 PCP occurring in HIV known infected patients, no prophylaxis was prescribed for 72 %; cotrimoxazole prophylaxis had been prescribed to 39 patients but only one of them had the right compliance. In HIV-negative patients (264), corticosteroids were prescribed in 54 % and chemotherapy in 36 %; 93 % did not receive prophylaxis. 128 tumoral pathologies and 86 transplantations were notified.

Reported here is a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in a patient who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation and had never traveled outside of France. The infection was most likely transmitted via the liver allograft, since the organ donor had lived in an area highly endemic for the disease (French Guiana)
