    Introduction : L’adĂ©nome plĂ©omorphe reprĂ©sente la tumeur la plus frĂ©quente des glandes salivaires principales. Sa dĂ©couverte au niveau des cavitĂ©s nasales est rare et mĂ©connue. MatĂ©riel et MĂ©thode : Les auteurs se proposent de rapporter une observation originale d’AP du septum, et d’en prĂ©ciser les particularitĂ©s diagnostiques et thĂ©rapeutiques Ă  partir d’une revue de la littĂ©rature. RĂ©sultats : Il s’agissait d’une fillette de 9 ans ayant consultĂ© pour une obstruction nasale gauche d’aggravation progressive Ă©voluant depuis 5 mois, accompagnĂ©e d’une rhinorrhĂ©e intermittente homolatĂ©rale. L’examen clinique et l’imagerie ( scanner avec IRM) retrouvaient une formation tissulaire comblant la cavitĂ© nasale gauche aux dĂ©pens du tiers antĂ©rieur du septum sans lyse osseuse. Nous avons effectuĂ© l’exĂ©rĂšse chirurgicale de la masse, par voie endonasale sous guidage endoscopique avec un examen anatomopathologique. Les suites opĂ©ratoires ont Ă©tĂ© simples. En particulier, nous n’avons pas observĂ© de rĂ©cidive avec un recul d’un an. Conclusion : Bien que rare dans cette localisation, l’AP doit ĂȘtre Ă©voquĂ© devant toute formation de la fosse nasale. L’imagerie est indispensable. Le traitement est toujours chirurgical. Le diagnostic repose sur l’histologie. Les risques de rĂ©cidive et de transformation maligne imposent une surveillance post-opĂ©ratoire prolongĂ©e.Mots clĂ©s : AdĂ©nome plĂ©omorphe, Septum nasal, Chirurgie

    Predictors of CD4 cell recovery following initiation of antiretroviral therapy among HIV-1 positive patients with well-estimated dates of seroconversion

    Objectives: To investigate factors that predict speed of recovery and long-term CD4 cell count in HIV-1 seroconverters initiating combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), and to quantify the influence of very early treatment initiation. We make use of all pre-treatment CD4 counts, because analyses using only a single observation at initiation may be subject to biases. Methods: We used data from the CASCADE (Concerted Action on SeroConversion to AIDS and Death in Europe) multinational cohort collaboration of HIV-1 seroconverters. We analysed pre- and post-treatment data of patients with seroconversion dates estimated January 2003–March 2014 (n = 7600 for primary analysis) using a statistical model in which the characteristics of recovery in CD4 counts are determined by multiple predictive factors. Secondary analyses were performed incorporating uncertainty in the exact timing of seroconversion to allow more precise estimation of the benefit of very early treatment initiation. Results: ‘True’ CD4 count at cART initiation was the strongest predictor of CD4 count beyond 3 years on cART. Allowing for lack of complete certainty in the date of seroconversion, CD4 recovery was more rapid for patients in whom treatment was initiated within 4 months. For a given CD4 count, higher viral load (VL) at initiation was strongly associated with higher post-treatment CD4 recovery. For other patient and drug characteristics, associations with recovery were statistically significant but small in magnitude. Conclusions: CD4 count at cART initiation is the most important factor in predicting post-treatment recovery, but VL provides substantial additional information. If cART is initiated in the first 4 months following seroconversion, recovery of CD4 counts appears to be more rapid. © 2017 The Authors.
