Planned treatment of 30 cases of haemorrhagic colitis is reported. Its protocol included salazopyrine and benzodiazepine per os, salazopyrine and prednisone per rectum, and parenteral ACTH depot. Administration for 60 days brought good results in cases of slight or average severity. Recurrences, albeit less severe, were not prevented, however. Attention is drawn to the need to follow up this group of patients for a longer period. Even so, it is felt that the effect of this form of treatment is primarily symptomatic.
Supervening immunoblastic sarcoma in a patient with congenital immune deficiency is described. The literature suggests that this sarcoma may be a hyperimmune form similar to the GVHR described by Frizzera and the question whether or not angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy had previously occurred in the present case is discussed. The part played by the spleen and the effect of splenectomy on the progression of the disease are also examined.
