Nocardiose cérébrale révélatrice d'un hypogammaglobulinémie commune variable

We report a case of a nocardial brain abscess following a common variable hypogammablobulinemia. The usual treatment of cerebral nocardiosis associates neurosurgery and antimicrobial agents, with a mortality of 50%. Our patient gets well again with only antibiotics.

Abcès tuberculeux du psoas sans lésion rachidienne associée

We report a case of tuberculous proas muscle abscess following a hematogenous invasion. The differential diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass should not exclude tuberculous psoas abscess, even if the retroperitoneal tumours and the pyogenic abscesses are more common.

Sarcoïdose sur cicatrice : une localisation à connaître

We report 5 cases of scar sarcoidosis. It is one of the specific but more unusual manifestations of sarcoidosis. Examination of a biopsy specimen from an indurated scar may confirm the diagnosis of sarcoidosis without reguiring more invasive procedures.
