[Acute respiratory distress syndrome in infants at term and near term about 23 cases].
to precise the incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome in infants at term and near term and the clinical characteristics of this disease not yet well recognised. ⋯ ARDS represents 6.8% of etiology of respiratory distress in infants at term and near term. Caesarean section before the onset of labour seems to be a triggering factor. The outcome seems to be favourable (rate of survival = 95.7%) if the management is suitable.

Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated malignancy. Our aim was to analyse the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic findings in AIDS patients with Kaposi's sarcoma. ⋯ AIDS associated Kaposi's sarcoma is a severe condition because of visceral localisations and the field of immunodeficiency. It requires a precocious diagnosis and collaboration. The identification of HHV8 in the aetiopathogenic mechanism of Kaposi's sarcoma can lead to the development new therapeutic approaches.

Review Case Reports[The subs capsular haematoma of the liver by preeclampsia. A case report].
The subs capsular haematoma of the liver (SHL) complicating preecalampsia, is a rare disease and it has a dangerous prognosis. ⋯ In the present study, we report the case of a multipara patient who presented an hemorrhagic shock in the fourth day of postpartum. The diagnosis of sub scapular haematoma of the liver was preoperatively suspected and confirmed during surgical intervention. The hemostase was assured by collision. A review of the literature was made in order to precise the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics. It brought out the importance of early diagnosis and treatment and especially a correct management of paturienteses at risk.

Vertebral tuberculosis revealed by thoracic manifestations. A study of five cases.
Spine is the most frequent location of bone tuberculosis, which can seldom be revealed by thoracic manifestations. ⋯ Pott's disease can be observed in non immunocompromised patients. In the Lung Diseases Department, it is often revealed by thoracic manifestations and associated to pulmonary lesions, which makes the formal diagnosis easy. Here, vertebral tuberculosis does not have anatomical specificities; nevertheless, the multilevel forms are relatively frequent. It constitutes an index of bacillus dissemination, requiring the search for other extra-vertebral locations.
