ABSTRACT
We report a case of recurrent intussusception in a 6-year-old boy associated with Intestinal Lymphoid Hyperplasia (ILH). A single course of steroids resulted in resolution of both symptoms and hyperplasia. We conclude that steroids treatment must be considered in recurrent intussusception associated with ILH and no other lead point identified (lymphoma or intestinal malformation) instead of a more radical surgical approach by a ileum resection.

Soft lactic cheeses were manufactured with raw goat milk inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes. The physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of curds and cheeses were determined after each processing step as well as during ripening and refrigerated storage. The fate of Listeria monocytogenes was evaluated by enumeration on PALCAM agar and by a qualitative detection after a double selective enrichment procedure. The results showed that the physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of lactic cheeses caused a decrease of Listeria monocytogenes counts. However, this decrease did not lead to the complete disappearance of the pathogen and Listeria monocytogenes was able to survive in soft lactic cheeses made with raw goat milk.
