[Eosinophilic gastroenteritis: a rare case of dyspepsia]. / Gastroenterite eosinofílica: um caso raro de dispepsia.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare and heterogeneous disease that is probably misdiagnosed in clinical practice because it meets a high degree of suspicion, and an endoscopy with biopsy is needed for diagnosis. The authors describe, with a brief thematic review, a case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis presenting as dyspepsia syndrome and mild peripheral eosinophilia.

[Gaucher disease]. / Doença de Gaucher.

We describe, with a brief thematic review, the case of a 47-year-old woman that was hospitalized to study a clinical picture characterized by massive splenomegaly with asthenia, postprandial fullness, weight loss and edema in the left lower extremity, in which Gaucher disease was diagnosed.

[Hemoptysis: an uncommun case]. / Hemoptises: um caso invulgar.

Defined as an expectoration of blood from the subglottic airways, the hemoptysis is a symptom that suggests a variety of pathologies that can be more or less benign and even fatal, a life threatening for the person who suffers it. Between the most common causes we have bronchitis, bronchiectasis and bronchopulmonary neoplasia. Less frequent causes are: Goodpasture's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, between others. The authors present a case of hemoptysis in a patient who suffered sudden aggravation of his general state with the need for intensive care.
