Adenosine deaminase activity in rheumatoid pleural effusion.

The activity of adenosine deaminase was studied in nine cases of rheumatoid pleural effusion, showing an increase in enzyme activity in all. Rheumatoid arthritis seems unique, however, as it cannot be differentiated from pleural tuberculosis on the basis of this test. Selective increase of adenosine deaminase in both conditions is attributed to stimulation of T lymphocytes in the pleural fluid.

Multicentric giant follicular lymph node hyperplasia. Favorable response to radiotherapy.

Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a disease of unknown etiology in which two distinct histologic forms are recognized: the hyalin vascular and the plasma-cell types. Up to the current time only a few multicentric cases have been described. The authors describe an unusual case of the multicentric type, which furthermore showed an excellent response to low dosis radiotherapy. Complete, lasting remission was induced and the patient became asymptomatic.
