RESUMO
Resumen El síndrome de Lemierre, también denominado trom boflebitis séptica de la vena yugular interna, necrobaci losis o sepsis postanginal es una infección que inicia en el espacio orofaríngeo, se complica con tromboflebitis séptica de la vena yugular interna y metástasis infeccio sas. La rápida progresión a cuadros clínicos graves que comprometen la vida del paciente y su baja frecuencia justifican la divulgación de casos clínicos. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 27 años de edad, que a las 48 horas de completar el tratamiento con fenoximetilpenicilina por una infección odontógena evolucionó con edema facial y trismus. En la angio-TC de macizo craneofacial se evidenció extenso trombo en la vena yugular interna y en la tomografía computarizada de tórax, embolias sépticas pulmonares. El tratamiento consistió en antibió ticos endovenosos de amplio espectro y anticoagulación de manera precoz.
Abstract Lemierre's syndrome, also called septic thrombo phlebitis of the internal jugular vein, necrobacillosis or postanginal sepsis, is an infection that begins in the oropharyngeal space, is complicated by septic throm bophlebitis of the internal jugular vein and infectious metastases. The rapid progression to serious clinical conditions that compromise the patient's life and its low frequency justify the disclosure of clinical cases. We present the case of a 27-year-old woman who de veloped facial edema and trismus 48 hours after com pleting treatment with phenoxymethylpenicillin for an odontogenic infection. An angio-CT of the craniofacial massif revealed an extensive thrombus in the internal jugular vein and a computed tomography of the chest showed septic pulmonary emboli. Treatment consisted of broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics and early anticoagulation.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this work is to determine the diabetes treatment satisfaction in a group of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: observational cross research. Patients over the age of 18 with diagnosed type 2 diabetes of at least one year until the present study were included. Those presenting pathologies attributed to diabetes were excluded. Patients should have responded to the DTSQ questionnaire upon admission. r Pearson regression, multivariate linear regression and U Mann-Whitney tests were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 102 patients were included with an average age of 63.1 years. Average value of the DTSQs was 14.5. A significant statistic correlation was observed between the score of the questionnaires and good diabetes control showed by the levels of HbAc1 and fasting blood glucose, among other parameters. Indeed there was no correlation between satisfaction and age and BMI. Women had lower satisfaction score than men. CONCLUSIONS: levels of diabetes treatment satisfaction in the study population correlated well with diabetic status. That is, the lower diabetic compromise, the better satisfaction score. The degree of satisfaction in patients with type 2 diabetes was lower than the observed on patients with the same pathology but from primary levels of health care.

Syphilis remains a common disease throughout the world, being neurosyphilis a relatively common manifestation. A case of a 34 years old male with HIV and neurosyphilis is presented, characterized by a clinical course evidenced by progressive palsy of cranial nerves. This case is unusual and a rare presentation of progressive cranial involvement with swallowing deficit, have found no similar data in the literature.
