RESUMEN
The essential oils of Anthospermum emirnense Baker and Anthospermum perrieri Homolle ex Puff, obtained by hydrodistillation in 0.03 and 0.02% yield, respectively, were analyzed by GC/MS. In both cases, the major constituents consisted of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The two species showed an important qualitative similarity, with 40 compounds common to A. emirnense and A. perrieri, including ß-elemene, trans-ß-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, and τ-cadinol, which were major components in both cases. When tested for antimicrobial activity, both essential oils showed similar profiles and exhibited interesting minimal-inhibitory-concentration (MIC) values towards Bacillus subtilis, Chryseobacterium indologenes, Flavimonas oryzihabitans, and Yersinia enterocolitica.

We report the case of an immunocompetent traveler returning from Morocco who presented with a giant splenic abscess, revealing an infection by Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) are a leading cause of cutaneous problems in travelers. Sixty travelers who presented with an SSTI were prospectively included over a 20-month period. Bacterial analysis and research for Panton-Valentine leukocidine (PVL) were performed according to clinical and bacterial presentation. The SSTI appeared abroad in 73% and were predominantly localized on lower limbs (75%). The main clinical forms were impetigo (35%) and cutaneous absess (23%). Insect bites were significantly associated with impetigo and ecthyma. Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) was identified in 15 patients (43%), Group A Streptococcus (GAS) in 12 patients (34%), and an association of both in 8 (23%) among the 35 patients for whom bacteria were identified. The MSSA producing PVL were found in 4 patients. Travelers should be advised on how to prevent arthropod exposure and susceptibility testing should be recommended considering that methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is increasingly reported, although not identified in our study.

A non-neutropenic man living in Senegal was repatriated to France for liver amebic abscesses associated with brain abscesses presumed to be of amebic origin. Surprisingly, the post-mortem examinations of brain abscesses showed Aspergillus flavus. The route of infection by A. flavus in this particular context is discussed.
