ABSTRACT
Erythrocytosis, or polycythaemia, is an increase, in absolute terms, of the erythrocyte mass. The most common solid tumour related to this phenomenon is renal cell carcinoma, which can produce erythrocytosis by increasing erythropoietin production. About 30% of symptomatic renal cell carcinomas are diagnosed due to the appearance of a paraneoplastic syndrome. Polycythaemia is one of these. Surgery, (radical or partial nephrectomy), is the treatment of choice in renal cell carcinoma and helps to keep the erythrocytosis situation under control.

Lyme's disease (LD) is a multisystemic infection due to Borrelia Burgdorferi transmitted through the byte of a vector arthropod of the Ixodes genre. Until now we do not know exactly which is the geographical distribution in our setting, no case have been published in the Aragon Community. We present four patients diagnosed of Lyme's disease following clinical and serological criteria (IFI) according to the recommendations of the Spanish Group for the study of Lyme's disease. A patient with Chronic Migratory Erythema (ECM); two others in stage II--one with predominant dermal lesions and other with predominant neurological symptoms--and finally, a patient in stage III with polyarticular symptoms and with antecedent of having showed a lymphocytic meningoencephalitis.

We studied cellular immune (total lymphocytes, lymphocytary populations and delay hypersensitivity skin tests) and humoral (immunoglobulins and complement) response, as well as nutritional status (anthropometric and biochemical para meters), antitumoral treatment. The effect of tumoral extension, nutritional status and age on immunity was assessed. We have demonstrated a poor relationship between the cellular immunological response and the extension of neoplasia, a moderate effect of age and a significant impact of nutritional status.

We present the results of a 187 cases acute diarrhea study managed in the Short Stay Unit of Clinic Universitary Hospital of Zaragoza during 1987-1988. To that aim, we designed an actuation protocol which included the gathering of several data, the realization of complementary studies and the evolutive pursuit. The coproculture resulted positive in a 54.5% of cases and Salmonella was the microorganism more frequently isolated. Most of the species were sensible to common antibiotics and all of them sensible to norfloxacin. Nearly a third part of patients developed some kind of complication. Therefore we infer that acute diarrhea may be subsidiary of diagnosis and treatment in Short Stay Units.
