ABSTRACT
Candida spondylodiscitis associatd with epidural abscess is rarely seen. We present a patient with Hodgkin lymphoma who received chemotherapy and developed systemic Candida infection, which was complicated by Candida spondylodiscitis and epidural abscess (AU)

La ruptura esplénica se produce frecuentemente por mecanismos traumáticos. Se la denomina espontánea o patológica cuando no existe tal antecedente o hay alguna patología esplÛnica predisponente. La ruptura esplénica espontánea por infiltración amiloide es una causa muy infrecuente de abd¶men agudo quirúrgico. Se presenta el caso de una mujer internada por abdomen agudo secundario a ruptura esplénica espontánea, cuyo diagnóstico final fue amiloidosis primaria. (AU)

Se presenta un paciente de 50 años de edad con diagnóstico de asma casi fatal. Como único antecedente previo de su enfermedad se constata la utilización esporádica de fenoterol, consumiendo en los últimos meses 1 canister cada 15 días, sin control médico previo. Se realiza una revisión de Asma Casi Fatal (AU)

Captopril was tested as the treatment for a patient with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and its effects were compared with those of hydralazine. Captopril induced a rise in pulmonary pressures and in intrapulmonary shunt; hydralazine lowered pulmonary resistances and increased paO2 and blood O2 transport. Prospective studies in PPH treated with captopril are recommended and evaluation of all drugs not only by hemodynamic but also respiratory and O2 transport measurements.
