چکیده

claims for sick benefit reached a weekly figure of approximately 450% above the seasonal average. Strains of the Hong Kong variant of influenza virus A2 were isolated in the area. Returns from councils of absence owing to illness, believed to be influenza, during December and January were as follows. Unvaccinated 164 Off sick 41 Vaccinated once only 27 Off sick 7 Vaccinated twice 85 Off sick nil From this it will be seen that there is no difference in the absentee rate of those who were unvaccinated from those who received one dose only in November 1969. In the case of those who received two doses there were no absences, and this is statistically significant. Although one cannot draw any firm conclusions because of the small number who received one dose only, and in 23 a reduced dose, it seems prudent to advise an initial course of two doses in the previously unvaccinated and where there has been a significant change in the strain of the A2 virus.-We are, etc., F.

Antibody-mediated tissue damage. Hyperviscosity and other complications of paraproteinaemia.

The association between hypergammaglobulinaemia and raised serum viscosity has been recognised for more than 40 years. Waldenstrom (1944) described three patients in whom macroglobulinaemia was associated with increased serum viscosity, and even earlier than this there had been reports of raised plasma viscosity in myelomatosis (Albers, 1937). Since these early reports many of the clinical feat...
