SltirgeWeber Disease With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage • A healthy adult with a nevus flammeus presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Cerebral arteriography demonstrated vascular anomalies typical of encephalofacial angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber disease). A review of the literature failed to disclose a welldocumented case of subarachnoid hemorrhage in this condition. Additional

Thus, in the first two groups, the death~rate was less than t per cent. (b)' Age.~The age of the fatal cases varied' from 22 years to 49 years,. but was not stated in eight.

Précis: We report the unusual etiology of a sellar aggressive mass, an epithelioid angiosarcoma, the diagnosis of which was made from positive epithelial and vascular markers.

T HE TWO major problems in bacterial in fections facing us today are the control of staphylococcal infections, and the con trol of cases of bacillary sepsis.1 Infections due to staphylococci that are resistant to almost all existing chemotherapeutic and antibiotic agents are prevalent in hospital patients and are especially common in wound infections. Bacillary sepsis, on the other hand, makes ...

The aim of this study was to characterize a Bartonella strain (BA-1) isolated from a blood culture of an Italian, human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient with bacillary angiomatosis. We analyzed the isolate using molecular biology methods such as whole-cell fatty acid analysis, PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, type-specific 16S rRNA PCRs, sequence analysis of the 16S...

Epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasmic variant of angiomyolipoma characterized by aggressive growth and unpredictable outcome. Cases of local recurrence and distant metastasis have been described. The histopathological diagnosis may be difficult, as EAML often mimics other neoplasms. This is the case report of a 39-year-old male patient with EAML, which was initially...
