We did not find any clinically relevant differences in the lipid profile, CRP, fasting blood glucose and other markers of atherosclerosis, between long-term consumption of red and white wine.

A native from Surinam (South America), known to have a chronic gonarthritis for 20 years, died from an acute disseminated histoplasmosis. His gonarthritis was retrospectively shown to have been due to histoplasmosis. Although histoplasmosis rarely presents as a monarthritis, unacquaintance with this entity may result in fatal acute dissemination of the histoplasmosis.

We describe 2 patients with rare primary pulmonary manifestation of Hodgkin’s disease. Our 1st patient, who had unilateral pulmonary involvement and has been treated with segmental resection and cyclophosphamide, has survived > 18 years without relapse.
