[Fatal form of pericardo-myocarditis in Wissler-Fanconi syndrome]. / Forme mortelle de péricardo-myocardite au cours d'un syndrome de Wissler-Fanconi.

The Wissler-Fanconi syndrome is an inflammatory disease of unknown origin, similar to Still's disease, a systemic form of juvenile arthritis. The long-term evolution is marked by recurrent febrile exacerbations, sometimes complicated by pericardo-myocarditis which usually resolves without sequellae. The authors report a case with chronic pericardo-myocarditis progressing over a 7 year period to refractory congestive cardiac failure.

[Familial subsepsis allergica- a systemic form of chronic juvenile arthritis]. / Zur familiaritt der subsepsis allergica-systemische form der juvenilen chonischen arthritis.

Case report of a baby and his 26-year old mother suffering from Subsepsis allergica. Her disease was discovered when she was 2 years old. Both patients showed common symptoms such as regular bouts of high fever with brief exanthemas resistant to antibiotic treatment. The results of their hematological tests were typical of this illness. The mother has also suffered from sporadic attacks of arthritis for the past ten years, but these have not handicapped her in any way. In spite of extensive diagnostic tests we were unable to shed new light on the etiopathogenesis of this systemic form of chronic juvenile arthritis. Since the baby's illness has so far proved to be of benign nature, long-term medication was found to be unnecessary. The mother finds relief through symptomatic treatment.
