In order to verify the frequency of human brucellosis among a TB suspected population, a study was conducted on the basis of sero-diagnosis of a total of 229 blood samples from TB suspected patients. Serological tests carried out were slide and semi-quantitative agglutination tests. Of the tested samples, 44 (19.21%) were SAT positive and of these, 28 (12.23%) were positive for the semiquantitative agglutination test. Twelve (42.86%) had a brucella titer of 1:80; 14 (50%) had a brucella titer of 1:160 and 2 (7.14%) had a titer of 1:320. The majority of patients positive for brucellosis, exhibiting sero-agglutination titers ranging between 1:40 and 1:320, were of rural background. However, 35.72% persons positive for brucella antibody with titer of 1:160 were from urban localities. Fever (84.48%), headache/dizziness (71.43%) and weakness/fatigue (46.43%) were the most common presenting symptoms among the brucellosis positive patients. The frequency of brucellosis among these TB suspected patients was found to be higher in women (73.91%), as compared to men (52.38%).

We present an 86-years-old woman's case with paralysis in her left hand of abrupt apparition, accompanied by arterial hypertension and dizziness. The investigation revealed erythrocytosis, leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, with normal arterial O2 saturation (O2 SAT), increased of his red cell volume and blood viscosity. The polycythaemia vera (PV) was diagnose and the paralysis disappeared, when 24 hours before a phlebotomy was practiced, and the function was recovered by the hand. We analysed the presents diagnostics criteria of the disease defined by Polycythaemia Vera Study Group (PVSG). The different treatments for PV are discussed; in addition to venesection, conventional treatment include chemotherapy with hydroxyurea and pipobroman, as well as the erythropheresis, -interferon and aspirin. All of the treatments are associated with complications; thrombotic in the case of phlebotomy; malignancies and gastrointestinal bleeding in the case of myelosuppressive treatments and aspirin. We think the optimal treatment for PV is a judicious combination of the available alternatives, depending on the phase of the disease, and the age of the patient.
