Observations of hot stars belonging to the young cluster LMC-NGC2004 and
its surrounding region have been obtained with the VLT-GIRAFFE facilities
in MEDUSA mode. 25 Be stars were discovered; the proportion of Be stars
compared to B-type stars is found to be of the same order in the LMC and
in the Galaxy fields. 23 hot stars were discovered as spectroscopic
binaries (SB1 and SB2), 5 of these are found to be eclipsing systems from
the MACHO database, with periods of a few days. About 75% of the spectra
in our sample are polluted by hydrogen (H
