RÉ SUMÉ : Le syndrome hémolytique urémique (SHU ) est une affection assez rare chez l’adulte, mais de pronostic réservé. Il traduit une microangiopathie thrombotique essentiellement rénale. Nous rapportons l’histoire d’un jeune patient dont la présentation et l’exploration cliniques rendent le diagnostic de SHU probable. La présentation quelque peu atypique offre non seulement l’occasion de discuter des différents éléments qui plaident en faveur du diagnostic selon les hypothèses physiopathologiques les plus récentes, mais aussi de redéfinir les recommandations de la prise en charge en urgence de cette affection sévère.

Drug self-poisoning is a common cause of admission in ED. Among various incriminated substances, paracetamol is often implicated and presents a severe toxicity. We briefly describe the epidemiology and physiopathology of paracetamol self-poisoning. We then clarify the diagnostic elements, thresholds of toxicity, indications for treatment and different available therapeutic guidelines. [less ▲]

Loss of the Y Chromosome in Bone Marrow Cells: Results on 1907 Consecutive Cases of Leukaemia and Preleukaemia

Loss of the Y chromosome with a resulting 45, X0 karyotype is observed in normal bone marrow cells of elderly males but also in haematological malignancies. Whether Y loss in neoplastic cells is related to the process seen in normal ageing or is part of the carcinogenic process is unknown. The present study concerns the cytogenetic data from 1907 consecutive leukaemic or preleukaemic male patients with special regard to the presence or absence of the Y chromosome. Sixty-five patients (3.4%) had a 45, X-Y clone in their bone marrow (BM) cells. Loss of Y was rare below the age of 50 but increased in older patients, reaching 25% of the men over 80. Sixteen patients (0.08%) had more than 90% X0 cells in their BM. A correlation between Y loss and leukaemia could be established in seven cases, three of which were acute myeloid leukaemia M2 subtype where -Y is known to be a secondary event. In three other cases, -Y was part of a complex karyotype. Only one patient exhibited a 45, X0 karyotype, with no other rearrangement, that could be positively correlated with the neoplastic process.
