[Renal amyloidosis revealing a Kartagener's syndrome]. / Amylose rénale révélant un syndrome de Kartagener.

Kartagener's syndrome is a rare disease. It is a clinical variant of primary ciliary dyskinesia. It combines a situs inversus, chronic sinusitis and bronchiectasis. Glomerulopathies associated with this syndrome are rarely reported. We report the case of Kartagener's syndrome in a patient diagnosed at the age of 37 years with renal amyloidosis.

[Multifocal tuberculosis (palpebral and pleural) in an immunocompetent woman]. / Tuberculose multi-focale (palpébrale et pleurale) chez une immunocompétente.

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis of the eyelid and its development in the setting of multifocal tuberculosis is exceptionally rare. CASE REPORT: The authors report a new observation of multifocal tuberculosis in a non-immunosuppressed woman of 28 years with histologically confirmed pleural and palpebral involvement. A paradoxical reaction was seen following the initiation of anti-tuberculous treatment with appearance of new manifestations (thoracic cold abscesses). CONCLUSION: The authors draw attention to this rare localisation and to the paradoxical reactions during treatment, emphasising the need for early diagnosis to avoid local and remote complications.
