Abstract
Myeloradiculitis is a rare neurological complication of herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) infection, frequently associated with a fatal outcome. Among patients with HIV infection, HSV-2 myeloradiculitis has occasionally been reported, always associated with advanced immunosuppression and AIDS. We report a patient with HIV infection but no history of previous opportunistic infections, who developed sacral myeloradiculitis immediately after an episode of genital herpes. Magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium showed necrotizing myelitis in the conus medullaris and enhancement of sacral roots. CD4 lymphocyte count was 530/mm3. Other possible causes of myeloradiculitis in HIV-infected patients were appropriately excluded. Acyclovir therapy resulted in partial clinical improvement. This report shows that myeloradiculitis as a complication of genital herpes may occur in the early stages of HIV infection and may have a favourable outcome with antiviral treatment.

Abstract
La façon commune de définir la pensée de Lévinas comme éthique méconnaît son ancrage dans la sensibilité. Phénoménologue avant tout, il se donne pour tâche de dépasser le non-sens irreprésentable depuis ses premières œuvres (De l’évasion) jusqu’à celle plus tardives (Autrement qu’être ou au-delà de l’essence). C’est dans les situations dites limites de crise de l’entre–deux que son aide est précieuse pour le psychiatre, lorsque la rencontre demande de remonter jusqu’à la sensibilité primordiale bien avant la « pensée qui s’en tient aux mots » et qu’elle tend vers l’intersubjectivité et l’interexistentialité. Tel qu’il l’énonce, les « accidents » psychologiques sont les manières sous lesquelles se montrent les relations ontologiques. Dans sa philosophie, « le psychologique n’est pas une péripétie ». Il nous propose des concepts qui peuvent s’avérer intéressants dans la clinique de tous les jours, par le renversement qu’il instaure dans le phénomène de la rencontre. Il situe la subjectivité dans la passivité, qui se définit en termes tout autre que l’intentionnalité et non pas, comme c’était le cas dans la philosophie traditionnelle, dans l’activité. Son œuvre est de première importance dans la clinique psychotraumatique en ce qu’elle aborde de façon essentielle les conséquences affectives (befindlichkeit) de ce qui ne peut se loger dans aucune langue, dans aucune mémoire. Elles sont à considérer comme autant de modes de la présence humaine, des « modes de se comprendre » où l’être se découvre, dans des situations limites marquées par le refus d’y demeurer et pourtant en demeure d’en sortir, évasion de ce qui constitue le fond de l’expérience de la souffrance, son irrémissible affirmation de l’être et de sa possible négation.

Abstract
La carrière fulgurante du danseur Vaslav Nijinski a duré dix ans de 1908 à 1917. Surnommé le « Dieu bondissant », il a quitté la scène publique pour un dernier saut dans la maladie à l’âge de 28 ans. Son histoire s’est mêlée à celle de la psychiatrie dont il va rencontrer les grands noms, A. Adler, M. Sakel, L. Binswanger et E. Bleuler qui va diagnostiquer « …une confusion mentale de nature schizophrénique avec une légère excitation maniaque… ». Le soir de sa dernière représentation en janvier 1919 au grand hôtel de St-Moritz devant 200 personnes Nijinski débute la rédaction de ses cahiers et confie à sa femme Romola qu’il veut montrer « les affres de la création, la souffrance endurée par l’artiste en train de travailler ». Parallèlement, il réalise des carnets à dessin avec le projet d’une nouvelle cotation chorégraphique. Ce faire-œuvre testamentaire de sa vie d’artiste avant de s’enfermer dans un long silence représente un manifeste de sa vaine habitation du monde face à la désorganisation psychotique et ses tentatives pour le reconstruire. Confronté à une modification du Sentir qu’il s’efforce d’endiguer par la rédaction de ce qu’il nomme « le livre du sentiment », il nous laisse son mystérieux catalogue à dessins, à la fois magnifique et effrayant, des transcriptions picturales d’une présence accablée par la proximité du monde et de ses objets hallucinatoires qui viennent le prendre au corps et dont il ne peut prendre distance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report a case of persistent hiccups associated by azithromycin therapy. CASE SUMMARY A 76-year-old man presented with persistent hiccups after beginning azithromycin for the treatment of pharyngitis. Hiccups were persistent and exhausting. Discontinuation of azithromycin and therapy with baclofen finally resolved hiccups. No organic cause of hiccups was identified despite extensive investigation. DISCUSSION Pharmacotherapeutic agents have been uncommonly associated with hiccups. Corticosteroids (dexamethasone and methylprednisolone), benzodiazepines (midazolam) and general anaesthesia have been the specific agents mentioned most frequently in the literature as being associated with the development of hiccups. Few cases of drug-induced hiccups have been reported related to macrolide antimicrobials. Using the Naranjo adverse effect reaction probability scale this event could be classified as possible (score 5 points), mostly because of the close temporal sequence, previous reports on this reaction with other macrolides and the absence of any alternative explanation for hiccups. Our hypothesis is that a vagal mechanism mediated by azithromycin could be the pathogenesis of hiccups in our patient. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis of drug-induced hiccups is difficult and often achieved only by a process of elimination. However, macrolide antimicrobials have been reported to be associated with hiccups and vagal mechanism could explain the development of this side-effect.

Abstract
The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is a rare disorder of neuromuscular transmission, usually presenting as a paraneoplastic process associated with a small cell lung cancer. Recently, respiratory muscular impairment has been described in these patients. Acute respiratory failure as a presenting symptom has been reported in few cases. We present a case of acute ventilatory failure as the first manifestation of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome associated with small cell lung cancer and discuss the main features of this disease, including its treatment. The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome should be considered in cases of unexplained acute respiratory failure and clinical evidence of neoplasic disease. We thought that electromyographic studies could reveal the real involvement of respiratory muscles, including diaphragm, in this condition.

Abstract
The ingestion of iron-containing products is a potential toxicological emergency. It is a leading cause of pediatric unintentional ingestion fatalities because some iron-containing compounds are readily available (vitamin mixtures, iron pills). Among adults, it has been described as accidental overdoses (mainly in pregnancy) and as suicidal attempts. We report a 42 years old woman, admitted due to the intentional ingestion of iron pills with suicidal purposes. A plain abdominal X ray showed at least 20 pills in the gastric fundus and antrum. She was successfully treated with intravenous desferroxamine chelation. Plain abdominal X ray examination can be very useful in the diagnosis of acute iron poisoning.
