Abstract
Abstract
The proliferation of Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) metacestode is dependent on the nature/function of the periparasitic immune-mediated processes. Fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) was found to be up-regulated after E. multilocularis infection, however little is known about the contribution of this novel CD4+CD25+ Treg effector molecule to the control of a helminth infection. We showed that, as compared to AE-WT mice, AE-fgl2-deficient mice exhibited a significantly decreased parasite load and proliferation activity, associated with increased T cell proliferation in response to ConA, reduced Treg numbers and function, relative Th1 polarization, and increased B cell number and DC maturation. We showed for the first time that FGL2 is involved in negative immune regulation towards a helminth parasite and that IL-17A contributes to FGL2 regulation. By promoting Treg cell activity, FGL2 appears as a key-player in the immune orchestration of the outcome of E. multilocularis infection and measurement of plasma FGL2 levels might be useful to assess disease progression. Furthermore, targeting FGL2 could also be used for the development of novel treatment approaches in alveolar echinococcosis and other diseases caused by parasite pathogens.

Abstract
A new 3-min rapid dot immunogold filtration assay (DIGFA) for serodiagnosis of human cystic and alveolar echinococcosis was developed using four native antigen preparations: crude and partially purified hydatid cyst fluid extracts from Echinococcus granulosus (EgCF and AgB), E. granulosus protoscolex extract (EgP) and Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode antigen (Em2). The overall sensitivity of DIGFA in a hospital diagnostic setting was 80.7% for human cystic echinococcosis (CE) (n=857) and 92.9% for human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) (n=42). Highest specificity was 93.4% with AgB extract for CE, and 90.3% with Em2 antigen for AE when CE versus AE cross-reactivity was excluded. Anti-AgB antibodies were present in 35.5% of AE cases and anti-Em2 in 7.4% of CE cases. In endemic communities in northwest China screened for echinococcosis, the sensitivity of DIGFA ranged from 71.8% to 90.7% in comparison to abdominal ultrasound; specificity for CE using AgB was 94.6% and for AE using Em2 was 97.1%. This simple eye-read rapid test can be used for both clinical diagnostic support, as well as in conjunction with ultrasound for mass screening in endemic CE and AE areas.

Abstract
The Xinjiang plateau of western China has been shown to have a high prevalence for human cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by Echinococcus granulosus, and human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. The domestic dog is suspected to be the primary definitive host for the transmission of both E. granulosus and E. multilocularis to humans in this locality. Seventeen of 30 stray dogs from Hejing County of Xinjiang were found positive for E. granulosus post mortem, and one double infection was suspected. Worm samples were collected, dyed by carmine, and observed microscopically. Carmine staining examination clearly revealed the differences in number of proglottids and appearance of uterine branches and lateral genital pore for those two species of Echinococcus. Furthermore, gene target DNA fragments were amplified for formal identification of the two parasite species, based on 12s rRNA mitochondrial gene. The PCR products were purified and sequenced. Compared with NCBI GenBank, the DNA sequences demonstrated 100% identity with E. granulosus (sheep strain, G1 genotype) and E. multilocularis.

Abstract
We analyzed the reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease sequences of HIV-1 isolates obtained over 7 years from two couples with known transmission histories. Phylogenetic trees constructed from the sequence data reflected the known transmission histories, despite the fact that the drug resistance mutations were most consistent with the drug treatment histories. However, the RT sequences from one couple diverged by 2.9% even before therapy was begun, and three (0.9%) of 339 unrelated individuals had viruses that shared a common ancestor with sequences from the recipient member of the couple but not with sequences from the transmitter. The divergence between the first two isolates from this couple is consistent with a pretransmission interval during which the transmitter developed a heterogeneous virus population. The closeness between the three controls and the recipient's first RT sequence may indicate slower evolution on the branches of the control sequences. Although the RT and protease genes contain phylogenetic information, they are suboptimal for reconstructing transmission history because the genetic distance between RT and protease isolates from unrelated individuals may occasionally approximate the distance between RT and protease isolates from related individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hepatitis C (HCV) has a high prevalence (10-30%) among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. However, little information is available regarding the impact of hepatitis C on survival. The objective of our study was to determine the incidence of hepatitis C-related deaths in HIV-HCV co-infected patients. METHODS The study was a retrospective (1-year), multicenter cohort survey conducted in 63 departments of either internal medicine or infectious diseases in France. It included 26,497 HIV-infected patients, of whom 4,465 (16.8%) presented coinfection due to the hepatitis C virus. The following parameters were studied for the year 1997: total number of deaths, number of deaths related to either AIDS, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, or other causes. RESULTS Among the 26,497 patients, 543 deaths (incidence: 2%) were observed in 1997; 543 deaths were due to AIDS (incidence: 1.7%), 36 to cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma (incidence: 0.13%), and 48 (incidence: 0.18%) to another cause. In the subgroup including 4,465 HIV-HCV-coinfected patients, 29 deaths (incidence: 0.64%) were due to either HCV-related cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. These results were compared with those of a previous similar survey conducted in 1995, before the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy. The only significant difference is the dramatic regression of deaths due to AIDS. CONCLUSION The impact of hepatitis C virus on the mortality among HIV-infected patients whose follow-up took place in departments of either internal medicine or infectious diseases in France was very low in 1997. The expected increase in the life span in these patients could modify these results in the future, due to recent improvements in the HIV infection treatment.

Abstract
We describe the beneficial effect of recombinant alpha 2b interferon in a woman with an idiopathic and refractory IgM-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia due to low-titer, high-thermal-amplitude cold agglutinins. The response was partial but sustained, 2 months after interruption of interferon, with hemoglobin concentrations ranging between 8.5 and 10 g/dl. In the literature, such rarely encountered hemolyzing warm-reacting agglutinins are described as causing severe hemolysis with a frequently fatal clinical outcome.

Abstract
In 14 of 23 patients seen with coeliac disease thrombocytosis was present (range: 420,000 to 789,000 platelets per cubic mm) and was unrelated to iron deficiency or inflammatory syndrome. Among patients with thrombocytosis (group I), 6 had an associated autoimmune disease; this association was absent in patients without thrombocytosis (group II). There was no correlation between thrombocytosis and lymphocyte count, plasma IgA, IgG, IgM and fibrinogen levels, presence of HLA B8 antigen or histological stage. On the other hand, group I patients had a lower plasma level of albumin, phosphorus and folates. We conclude that thrombocytosis is useful in the assessment of patients with coeliac disease and reflects an enhanced activity of the disease. Moreover, the presence of thrombocytes in these patients' blood may indicate a major risk of associated autoimmune disease.

Abstract
Study of the presence of amyloid deposits on subcutaneous fat aspirates was carried out in 100 patients hospitalized in a geriatric unit. The test was positive in 15%, and in 4% of them, amyloid deposits were also seen on accessory salivary glands, confirmed by immunohistochemical staining. These results indicate that sub-cutaneous fat aspirate may be a useful test for an early diagnosis of amyloidosis.

Abstract
The cellular localisation of the polymeric Ig receptor (pIg-R) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), hepatic and biliary cell markers, were investigated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and high serum levels of secretory component. Serum SC were increased 6-20-fold in 8 HCC patients compared with normal subjects. Serum free SC was positively correlated bilirubin (r = 0.95, P less than 0.04). In normal liver tissue, cytokeratin (CK) 8 and 18 were localised in hepatocytes and biliary cells while pIg-R and CK 19 expression was restricted to biliary cells. In tumoral liver tissue, malignant cells expressed CK 8 and 18 weakly; pIg-R and CK 19 were not detected in tumoral cells. CEA was expressed by biliary cells in normal and proliferating ducts. In peritumoral fibrosis, proliferating biliary cells were strongly stained by anti-cytokeratins and anti-pIg-R antibodies. In one case, pIg-R was localised in isolated cells close to fibrosis without co-staining of anti-CK 19. Thus increased serum SC is not associated with pIg-R expression by tumoral cells, and pIg-R may be considered an additional marker of biliary cells. High SC might be explained either by reflux from bile to serum and/or release of unbound SC from the vascular pole of non-functional, proliferating biliary structures.

Abstract
Campylobacter is considered to be an opportunistic agent. The authors relate an unusual case with Campylobacter fetus ssp fetus (CF) septicemia and colic abscess. Human Campylobacteriosis is presumed to be a food-born disease related to contaminated animal products such as milk or meat. In some cases CF may be transmitted by drinking water or by fecal soiling via the hands. Conventional treatment uses macrolides with decrease the duration of diarrhea and reduce the fecal excretion of CF. Macrolides are ineffective in CF septicemias. In such cases aminoglycosides seem to be the drug of choice.

Abstract
The personality traits of 40 women with non organ-specific dysimmune diseases were studied by means of a questionnaire devised to evaluate behavioural components including 48 items divided into 8 different patterns. The patients fell into 3 groups. Group I comprised 20 women with collagen diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 8), scleroderma (n = 4), Sharp's syndrome (n = 4), polymyositis (n = 3) and Shulman's syndrome (n = 1). Group II was made of 10 women with either primary (n = 6) or secondary (n = 4) Sjögren's syndrome. Group III consisted of 10 women with vasculitis. Results were compared with those obtained in a control population of 41 women without dysimmune disease. At the time of examination the mean daily dose of prednisone was 10.5 mg. All 40 patients differed from the control group by their unobtrusiveness, self depreciation (P less than 0.01), hyperconformability and excessive kindness (P less than 0.02). Additional traits were a tendency towards contradiction and intolerance in patients with Sjögren's syndrome and a lack of agressiveness combined with a feeling of inferiority in patients with vasculitis. These results confirms that patients with dysimmune disease are psychologically fragile and suggest that the possibility of psychotherapy should be examined in these patients.

Abstract
Alveolar echinococcosis, due to E. multilocularis, is usually a fatal disease in patients whether treated by benzimidazolecarbamates or not. However, aborted infections have been described, suggesting the existence of strains of parasites of varying pathogenicity. These observations led us to analyse the viability of larvae in 20 patients. After observation of human lesions, the viability of metacestodes was tested by intraperitoneal infection in two intermediate host species, Meriones unguiculatus and AKR inbred mice. Parasitic development was more frequent in mice than in M. unguiculatus, but in the latter, growth was more rapid and the larval mass produced was greater. Isolates which originated from patients undergoing treatment had an abortive growth; two others were characterized by a steady, though slow, development, producing a poorly budding larva; lastly there were some which were morphologically similar with a multivesicular appearance but differing development times. These results may serve as a guide for more basic studies leading to an understanding of the problem of intraspecific variations in E. multilocularis.

Abstract
The case of a woman suffering from urticaria of the colon is reported. The original endoscopic images were described and its allergic (corticotrophin) origin was documented through clinical arguments and in vivo and in vitro tests. The term acute allergic colitis seems to be more suitable taking into account the distribution, the cause and the development of this disease.

Abstract
An exceptional form of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis with metastasis of the right atrium is reported. This cardiac location of the parasitosis was revealed by attacks of pulmonary embolism which produced secondary pulmonary lesions. This case suggests that pulmonary metastases of alveolar echinococcosis of the liver might be due to the migration of parasitic clots from the hepatic veins.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the role of mesenteric blood in polymeric IgA (p-IgA) and IgA2-transport from the intestinal mucosa into plasma and the role of the liver in the clearance of these molecular forms of IgA. The concentrations of IgA, p-IgA and IgA2 were measured in mesenteric, splenic, portal, and hepatic veins of 7 control subjects without liver disease and in portal and peripheral veins of 4 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. In control subjects, the concentration of the different molecular forms of IgA were not significantly different in mesenteric and in splenic vein. No significant decrease of IgA concentrations was observed in hepatic vein, as compared with portal vein. In cirrhotic patients IgA concentrations were significantly higher than in control subjects, but concentrations of IgA, p-IgA and IgA2 were not different in portal and peripheral blood. These results show that mesenteric vein is not a major way for p-IgA and IgA2 from the gut lamina propria to plasma, and suggest that the origin of a significant part of these molecular forms of IgA could be peripheral lymph-nodes more than gut-associated-lymphoid-tissue. The absence of significant clearance of p-IgA by the liver in normal subjects suggests that abnormalities of hepato-biliary transport of p-IgA is not responsible for the increased IgA levels observed in cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
A study of anaphylactoid reactions (AR) observed between September 1982 and September 1983 was carried out in the surgical departments of a French regional hospital. The patients who had presented clinical symptoms suggesting an AR (bronchospasm, collapse, tachycardia, with or without skin rash) during a general anaesthesia were included in this study. A precise history of previous anaesthesias and allergy was taken; allergological testing was carried out six to eight weeks after the AR. It included intradermal skin tests (ST) and a human basophil degranulation test (HBDT) with the suspected drugs. Out of 12,855 patients operated on under general anaesthesia in the hospital, 21 AR were seen during the year under study, in 18 women and 3 men, of median age 27 years (extreme values: 11 and 62). The median number of previous anaesthesias was 2 (extreme values: 0--in 4 cases- and 22). Cardiocirculatory abnormalities were the most frequent clinical symptoms of the AR: they consisted of decreased arterial pressure in 13 cases, with 8 cases of vascular collapse. Respiratory symptoms were less frequent but severe bronchospasm was observed in 5 cases. Skin rashes were seen simultaneously in 13 out of the 21 observations. A history of allergy was found in 11 patients. Total IgE serum concentration averaged 134 kU X 1(-1) (extreme values: 32-378). Results of histamine-sensitivity skin tests were not significantly different from those observed in a control group. Calcemia and magnesemia were in the normal range. One to four drugs were tested in each patient: 41 tests combining ST and HBDT were carried out.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A total of 24 cases of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) due to Echinococcus multilocularis was assessed by US and CT. The diagnosis was confirmed in all cases by immunologic and histologic study. Both US and CT patterns of HAE showed changes of liver morphology in both contour and size. Abnormal areas of parenchyma were nodular or in fields, irregular, heterogeneous, and basically echogenic. On CT these lesions were hypodense (30 to 40 HU) and did not show enhancement after administration of intravenous contrast medium. Clustered microcalcifications were encountered within the abnormal parenchymal fields in 50% of cases, and necrotized zones occurred in 40% of cases. Dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts was commonly seen, especially on US; hilar involvement was frequent. Follow-up by both techniques can display increases of primary lesions, occurrence of new foci, and local or regional extensions. Precise evaluation of the lesions arising from correlative use of US and CT permits adequate therapeutic management.
