Rh Antibody Titres and Fœtal Wastage

P blood group phenotype, proteus antibody titres, and rheumatoid arthritis.

The interrelationships between P blood group phenotype, proteus antibodies and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were investigated in 140 patients with RA and 114 of their siblings who did not have RA. In the group with RA P2 subjects had significantly higher titres of proteus antibodies than P1 patients. This was not observed in the group without RA, or for antibodies to Escherichia coli. Although C r...

Increased bacterial antibody titres and IgA deficiency in epileptic patients.

Twenty eight Norwegian patients with epilepsy (16 male and 12 female patients, aged 10-50) were examined. All had been treated with phenytoin for at least a year, seven of them in combination with carbamazepine, phenobarbitone, or clonazepam. Four patients suffered from primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures, and 24 suffered from partial seizures. None had febrile convulsions. The causes of ...

Antibody titres to Campylobacter pylori after treatment for gastritis.

Campylobacter pylorn is strongly associated with histologically confirmed gastritis.1 The most convincing evidence for a pathogenic role of C pylori in gastritis comes from trials of treatment." We investigated the role of C pylorn in dyspeptic patients who had gastritis confirmed by histology by performing a prospective trial with colloidal bismuth subcitrate 240 mg twice daily for four weeks....

Hématome sous dural fœtal

L'hématome sous dural in utero (HSD) est très rare, se soldant fréquemment par le décès du fœtus. Le mécanisme de formation de ces hématomes n'est pas encore élucidé. Le premier cas a été rapporté en 1977 par Mc Donald et coll. Le diagnostic est posé le plus souvent par l'échographie. L'imagerie par résonance magnétique peut être réalisée si existe un doute diagnostique. L'hématome est le plus ...
