[Four cases of malaria in travellers. An emerging disease]. / Cuatro casos de paludismo en viajeros. Una enfermedad emergente.

Four cases of malaria in patients who had travelled to Equatorial Guinea the previous weeks and had not received prophylaxis are presented. There were three men and one woman, two natives of Equatorial Guinea who had been living in Spain for a long time and the other two Spanish. Following a 15-30 day trip in Equatorial Guinea they all presented with fever, shivering, headache and diarrhea( two cases) five to ten days after their return. Only one patient presented splenomegaly. The thick blood smear showed plasmodia in all patients and P. falciparum was identified in only two patients. All of them were treated with doxycycline and quinine sulfate with a favourable outcome. Only one of the patients needed hospitalization. Following some aspects of the epidemiology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this emerging disease are presented.

[Lung adenocarcinoma feigning an interstitial lung disease in a 30-year-old man]. / Adenocarcinoma de pulmón simulando una enfermedad pulmonar intersticial en un varón de 30 años.

A case of a 30-year-old man is presented. He had a past medical history of asthma and presented with cough, shortness of breath, fever and chest pain. The chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly and a interstitial pattern. The echocardiogram revealed a severe pericardial effusion that required performing a pericardiocentesis. A CT scan showed mediastinal adenopathies and reticulonodular interstitial pattern. A bronchoscopy could not be completed because of non-tolerance. Finally a lung biopsy allowed us to reach a final diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Following, some aspects of lung cancer in young people are commented, especially its incidence, histology, symptoms and a prognosis. A few aspects of the interstitial lung disease are also addressed and the differential diagnosis with lymphangitic carcinomatosis.

Cuatro casos de paludismo en viajeros. Una enfermedad emergente / Four cases of malaria in travellers. An emerging disease

Presentamos cuatro casos de paludismo en pacientes que habían viajado en las semanas previas a Guinea Ecuatorial, sin haber realizado profilaxis. Eran 3 varones y una mujer, dos naturales de Guinea Ecuatorial, pero residentes en España desde hace largo tiempo y otros dos de nuestro país. Tras realizar un viaje de una duración entre 15 y 30 días por su país, presentaron entre los días 5 y 10 de su regreso, un cuadro de fiebre, escalofríos, cefalea y en dos casos diarreas. Se palpó esplenomegalia en un solo paciente. Se observaron plasmodium en la extensión de sangre periférica en los cuatro enfermos, identificándose Plasmodium falciparum, en dos pacientes. Todos fueron tratados con sulfato de quinina y doxiciclina, evolucionando favorablemente. Un paciente fue tratado en régimen de hospitalización. Posteriormente comentamos algunos aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, diagnósticos y de tratamiento de esta enfermedad emergente

Adenocarcinoma de pulmón simulando una enfermedad pulmonar intersticial en un varón de 30 años / Lung adenocarcinoma feigning and interstitial lung disease of a 30-year-old man

Presentamos el caso de un varón de 30 años de edad, con antecedentes de asma bronquial, que presentó un cuadro de tos, disnea, fiebre y dolor torácico. En la radiografía de tórax se observó cardiomegalia y un patrón intersticial bilateral. En el ecocardiograma, se apreció un derrame pericárdico severo, que obligó a la realización de una pericardiocentésis. En una TAC torácica se observaron adenopatías mediastínicas y un patrón intersticial retículo nodular bilateral. No se pudo completar la broncoscopia por mala tolerancia. Finalmente una biopsia pulmonar permitió el diagnóstico de adenocarcinoma de pulmón. Posteriormente se comentan algunos aspectos del cáncer de pulmón en pacientes jóvenes (menores de 40 años), destacando datos sobre su incidencia, anatomía patológica, clínica y pronóstico. Referimos algunos aspectos de la enfermedad intersticial pulmonar y su diagnóstico diferencial con el carcinoma de pulmón con linfangitis carcinomatosa
