[The practice of electrophoresis of lacrimal proteins in routine ophthalmology]. / Pratique de l'électrophorèse des protéines lacrymales dans l'ophtalmologie quotidienne.

Our Area is a privileged place in the lacrymal pathology studying. We study 286 patients with possible dry eye syndrome (552 tear electrophoretic drawings analysed). Our method is based on Lioted S works. It adds the centrifugation and floating proteins collecting stage. Our analysis emphasizes the good laboratory results reproduction, the good agreements between clinical and immunologic tests in 4 pathological groups. Included in our daily ophthalmologic practical for 3 years, the tear proteins electrophoresis find its opportunity in the difficult dry eye syndromes diagnosis.

[The frequency of isolating urinary infection germs at a community practice and their sensitivity to various antibiotics]. / Fréquence d'isolement de germes d'infection urinaire en pratique de ville et leur sensibilité aux différents antibiotiques.

Nine hundred and thirty one urine's specimens of patients affected by urinary infection have been studied by pathology practising in different towns in France. The most frequently germs retrieved are: Escherichia coli 76%, Proteus mirabilis 12%, Klebsiella 5%, Staphylococcus epidermidis 2%. Were studied Gram negative rods sensibility to ampicillin (A), cephalosporin 1st generation (C), nalidixic acid (Nal), gentamicin (G), norfloxacin (Norf); Gram positive cocci resistance to oxacillin (Oxa), erythromycin (E), pristinamycin (P), gentamicin (G), norfloxacin (Norf). For E. coli: the resistance was 24% A, 2% C1, 0.1% G, 4% Nal, 0.1% Norf. For Klebsiella: the resistance was respectively 96% A, 12% C1, 10% Nal, 18% G., 4% Norf. For P. mirabilis: 11% A, 3% C1, 0% Nal, 9% G, 0% Norf. E. coli strains cephalo R; Gram negative rods Genta R or quinolone R; staphylocoque oxa R or pristina R have been checked by HIA Begin microbiology laboratory. Discrepancies in results have been analysed. This study enabled the participants to improve their bacteriological technic, antibiogramm's reading, results' interpretation.

[2 hemocultures positive for Vibrio cholerae]. / Deux hémocultures positives a Vibrio cholerae.

The authors report two cases of Vibrio cholerae isolation in hemocultures even though the copro-cultures where negative. In both cases, post-operated patients are concerned. The first one had supported a renal transplantation and was under immuno-depressor. The second one, after an aorto-aneurysm surgical treatment suffered from a mesenteric infarct. During the disease the vibrio was found in the hemoculture.
