    The purpose of the present, study was to underline the importance of the use of SEM in the evaluation of Helicobacter pylori (HP) - Induced gastritis. Gastric biopsies from eleven patients affected by HP infections were examined using Light Microscope (LM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). SEM allowed for the localization of even small groups of bacteria and to demonstrate the many morphologic changes due to the infective phlogosis. The signs of cellular suffering and the relationship between bacteria and microvilli are of particular interest

    The occurrence of primary Kaposi's sarcoma in a lymph node affected by Hodgkin's disease is reported. The case concerns a 43-year-old woman with a recurrence of Hodgkin's disease 13 years after its initial diagnosis. In one of four excised supraclavicular nodes a Kaposi's sarcoma was unexpectedly found. The present observation stresses once more that the two diseases are closely related and possibly share the same pathogenesis.The occurrence of primary Kaposi's sarcoma in a lymph node affected by Hodgkin's disease is reported.
