Campylobacter enteritis associated with recurrent abortions in agammaglobulinemia.

Campylobacter enteritis and habitual abortions occurred in a 28-year-old patient suffering from agammaglobulinemia. Campylobacter jejuni has been recently recognized to be a common treatable cause of diarrhea in man. Since bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine is increased in hypo- or agammaglobulinemia, Campylobacter is expected to be found in those patients. As this patient's abortions might have been due to the same infection, Campylobacter should be considered in the differential diagnosis of habitual abortions, especially if associated with diarrheal disease. This treatable disease must be sought in every case of agammaglobulinemia and gastro-intestinal complaints, before complicated diagnostic procedures are performed or potentially toxic drugs are administered.

Recurrent transient ischemic attacks associated with thrombocytosis in rheumatoid arthritis.

Thrombocytosis may appear in rheumatoid arthritis, nevertheless, thromboembolic phenomena have rarely been recorded. This case describes a 71-year old patient suffering from long-standing seropositive and nodular rheumatoid arthritis with severe pulmonary involvement. During an exacerbation of her disease and following the appearance of thrombocytosis, several episodes of transient ischemic attacks occurred. The neurological manifestations were right facial nerve paralysis, paraesthesia of the right cheek and dysarthria. The patient was treated successfully by antiaggregants, anticoagulants and busulfan.

Corticosteroid responsive pulmonary hypertension in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Primary pulmonary hypertension is an irreversible and fatal disorder. Every effort should therefore be made to discover all the other treatable diseases which may be associated with pulmonary hypertension. The association of systemic lupus erythematosus and pulmonary hypertension was rarely reported in the past. We add another case in which pulmonary hypertension was the presenting symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In contrast to the previously reported cases, our patient responded well to corticosteroids. It is assumed that this favorable response was due to the relatively early stage of the disease, when the histopathologic pulmonary changes were still in the reversible inflammatory stage.

Osteoradionecrosis of the skull stimulating bone metastases.

Multiple skull erosions which simulated bone mestatases developed in a 54-year-old patient who had been treated for favus by radiotherapy 40 years earlier. Radiation necrosis should be recognized and differentiated from defects and erosions due to malignant or infectious process in order to prevent unnecessary procedures and treatment.
