ABSTRACT
La microflora intestinal se ha encontrado beneficiosa en múltiples patologías. Se han seleccionado las mejores cepas en forma industrial, llamadas probióticos, para reforzar estos beneficios. Sobre todo por su acción antiinflamatoria y la disminución de la permeabilidad intestinal que producen, se ha demostrado que ejercen una acción favorable para prevenir y atenuar los episodios de dermatitis atópica.

HIV infected population has a higher incidence of syphilis, being this an independent risk factor for HIV infection. We report 88 HIV infected patients seen during the last three years. Fourteen (16 percent) had reactive serum VDRL and FTA-ABS and neurosyphilis was diagnosed in six (6,8 percent). Three had a treponemal uveitis-retinitis, one a meningovascular syphilis and one a secondary syphilis with meningeal and otological involvement. Patients were treated with penicillin 20 million UI/day for 14 days with good clinical and laboratory response and CFS normalization in those subjected to a second lumbar puncture. It is concluded that neurosyphilis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurological complications of HIV infections

El síndrome hiper IgE es una inmunodeficiencia primariaque se caracteriza por infecciones bacterianas recurrentes cutáneas y sinopulmonares y niveles séricos de IgE elevados (>2.000 Ul/ml). Se revisaron los hallazgos clínicos, laboratorio característico, inmunopatogenia y terapéutica de este síndrome
