[The first French hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in pregnant woman]. / Premier cas de fièvre hémorragique avec syndrome rénal au cours de la grossesse en France.

The seroprevalence of hantavirus in France is very low. The hantavirus is the causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). In 2005, we report the first French HFRS case in a pregnant woman presenting with influenza like symptoms in an endemic area associated with suggestive biologic abnormalities. She was delivered by emergency cesarean section. Her child had a neonatal respiratory distress, thrombocytopenia and elevated liver enzymes levels, which suggest a transplacental hantavirus transmission.

[Isolated torsion of the Fallopian tube in a 15-year old adolescent. About one case]. / Torsion tubaire isolée chez une adolescente de 15 ans. A propos d'un cas.

Isolated torsion of the Fallopian tube is an uncommon event. Surgery is often necessary to establish the diagnosis. This report focuses on a 15-year old female who presented with acute pelvic pain. Pelvic ultrasound showed an adnexal mass. The laparoscopy performed confirmed the diagnosis of isolated tubal torsion. Based on this experience as well as on other similar reported cases, characteristics of isolated torsion of the Fallopian tube are discussed. This pathology should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute pelvic pain in the female patient. Prompt surgical intervention may allow for preservation of the tube.
