[Uncommon site of Bergeyella zoohelcum. Apropos of a case]. / Une localisation inhabituelle de Bergeyella Zoohelcum. A propos d'un cas.

Bergeyella zoohelcum is a Gram negative bacillus which can be found in several pathological localizations in man: leg abscesses, septicemia, meningitis. We observed a case of community-acquired pneumonia caused by Bergeyella zoohelcum. On history taking it was found that the patient was exposed to a dog which may have been the carrier of the Gram negative bacilli. The clinical course was long, one year, with persistent excavation.

[Comparative diagnostic value of the isoproterenol test and the exercise test in detection of coronary insufficiency]. / Valeur diagnostique comparée du test à l'isoprotérénol et de l'épreuve d'effort dans le dépistage de l'insuffisance coronarienne

It appears that a constant-speed infusion of isoproterinol is as reliable and sensitive a method of detecting coronary insufficiency as the exercise test. It is indicated when: - the exercise test is impossible or not submaximal; - there is disagreement between the clinical findings, which are suggestive, and ergometry, which is negative; - there is pure angina of effort arising spontaneously.
