RESUMEN
We report in this manuscript a case of newborn baby with asymptomatic form of congenital malaria; the screening of the peripheral blood smear of the baby after a positive result in the mother allowed the diagnosis. The authors were permitted through this case to discuss the therapeutic possibility in these cases.

Mirror syndrome or Ballantyne syndrome is a rare disease, characterized by the association between fetal anasarca and maternal generalized edema. This may be complicated by pre-eclampsia. The purpose of this study was to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic features of this severe clinical entity, which, despite its rarity, should be suspected. We here report the clinical case of a 35-year-old parturient woman at 26 weeks of amenorrhea presenting to the Emergency Department with idiopathic mirror syndrome whose progression was rapidly marked by the occurrence of intrauterine fetal death and remission of maternal clinical-biological symptoms, once uterine vacuity was obtained. Indeed, a specific treatment in uterus is necessary, although in some severe idiopathic cases, only uterine vacuity can improve maternal and fetal prognosis.

Peritoneal tuberculosis is a curable infectious disease that can simulate advanced ovarian cancer, leading to extensive and unnecessary surgical procedures commonly performed on women of reproductive age. We report a new case of pseudo-tumoral peritoneal tuberculosis in a 43-year old female patient with suspected ovarian cancer associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis was based on exploratory laparotomy with extemporaneous histological examination. The patient responded well to anti-tuberculosis treatment according to 2ERHZ/4RH protocol.
