Review Case Reports[Fulminant pneumonia caused by Streptococcus milleri: rare or not diagnosed?].
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.

Review Case Reports[Massive hemoptysis in a patient with an aortic pseudoaneurysm].
We present a case of non-fistulated, non-fissured arteriosclerotic pseudoaneurysm of the aorta in a patient with massive hemoptysis. The condition was resolved by resection, with the breach repaired with a Dacron patch. ⋯ In only 1 case was the wall of the aneurysm intact, showing no fissures in spite of hemoptysis. The absence of fissuring or tearing in our patient may be accounted for by the delay of 10 days between the last bout of hemoptysis and surgical resection.
