RESUMEN
Soft tissue eosinophilic granulomatosis (Kimura's disease) is an eosinophilic granuloma with a proliferation of lymphoid follicles in the subcutaneous soft tissue. Although no established treatment exists, it is considered a disease with a good prognosis. On the other hand, bacteremia caused by group G hemolytic streptococcus (GGS) is said to be caused by chronic local lymph abnormalities and is likely to recur. We present the case of a 41-year-old Japanese man. He had a history of treatment for Kimura's disease and sepsis due to hemolytic streptococcus and came to our hospital with a chief complaint of fever. His blood culture revealed hemolytic streptococcus, and he was admitted to the hospital. Kimura's disease involves the proliferation of lymphoid follicles, so when blood cultures repeatedly turn positive, it is important to treat the patient with a GGS infection in mind.
RESUMEN
In April 2009, a female chimpanzee named Sango, living in a captive group at the Noichi Zoo, Japan, gave birth to dizygotic male-female twin chimpanzees (male: Daiya, female: Sakura). The extent to which adult group members cared for the twins was investigated using a focal animal sampling method targeting six adults (one male) when the twin chimpanzees were two years old. Data were collected for an average of 6.78â h (SD = 0.79) per focal participant. An unaffiliated female adult of Sango was engaged in parenting Sakura as much as Sango. Given that Sakura was in lesser proximity to Sango than Daiya, Sakura's departures from her mother and her ability to gesture requests might have enabled non-kin adults to provide her care.
