ABSTRACT

Se describe el aislamiento de Sporothrix brasiliensis desde una biopsia de piel de un caso humano de esporotricosis linfocutánea, en la región de Valparaíso, Chile. Esta especie es la más virulenta del género y es de transmisión zoonótica, desde los gatos a los humanos. Hasta ahora, solo se había publicado un brote por esta especie en gatos domésticos y asilvestrados en el extremo sur de Chile, por lo que este aislamiento, en una mujer residente de un sector densamente poblado de la Región de Valparaíso, constituye una preocupación por su eventual diseminación hacia otros gatos y la población general.


The isolation of Sporothrix brasiliensis from a skin biopsy of a human case of lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis in the region of Valparaíso, Chile is described. This species is the most virulent of the genus and is zoonotic in transmission from cats to humans. Until now, only one outbreak of this species has been published in domestic and feral cats in the extreme south of Chile, so this isolation in a woman residing in a densely populated sector of the fifth region is a concern for its eventual spread to other cats and the general population.

ABSTRACT

El xantogranuloma juvenil es una forma de histiocitosis de células no Langerhans que suele afectar a los niños y niñas dentro de los primeros años de vida. Su principal relevancia radica en la posible asociación a neurofibromatosis tipo 1, ya que su presentación conjunta conlleva un mayor riesgo de desarrollo de leucemia mielomonocítica crónica juvenil. Se presenta el caso de un lactante diagnosticado con neurofibromatosis tipo 1 en que se detectan lesiones múltiples compatibles con xantogranuloma juvenil.


Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis which usually affects boys and girls in their early years. Its importance stemsfrom its possible association with neurofibromatosistype 1 asthe combined presentation brings a heightened risk of developing chronic juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. We present the case of an infant diagnosed with neurofibromatosistype I who was found to have multiple lesions compatible with the diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma.

ABSTRACT

We report a 16 year old male with a history of angina on exertion. A treadmill exercise test was positive for ischemia in concordance with a Thallium-201 scintigraphy showing a septal and infero-posterior reversible myocardial perfusi¢n defect. Coronary angiography disclosed severe aneurysmal coronary artery disease. Bilateral internal mammary coronary artery bypass grafting was successfully performed. Kawasaki disease is the most likely etiology, although not confirmed.
