[Pulmonary hydatidosis as a cause of spinal cord compression]. / Hidatidosis pulmonar como causa de compresión medular.

Pulmonary hydatidosis is a rare cause of spinal cord compression. We describe the case of a 49-years-old woman with cervical and dorsal pain, neurologic symptoms affecting upper extremities and a chest film showing a well defined mass in the upper right lobe. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pulmonary cyst destroying vertebral bodies and invading the spinal channel to cause spinal cord compression. Surgery and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary hydatidosis.

[Fulminant pneumonia caused by Streptococcus milleri: rare or not diagnosed?]. / Neumonía de curso fulminante causada por Streptococcus milleri: infrecuente o no diagnosticada?

Streptococcus milleri is increasingly isolated in laboratory samples and is worthy of consideration as a differential diagnosis in pyogenic infections, particularly in adults with underlying infections. We describe a well-documented case of pleuropulmonary infection in a young man with no known risk factors. We analyze the diversity of microbiological features of these bacteria in culture, as well as their clinical importance as pathogens.
