Gaucher's disease and benign monoclonal gammapathy. A case report with immunofluorescence study of bone marrow and spleen.

A case of chronic non-neuronopathic Gaucher's disease is presented. The diagnosis was based on the finging of typical Gaucher cells in the bone marrow spleen. The patient also had a benign monoclonal gammapathy. Immunofluorescence studies of bone marrow and spleen were performed using monospecif antisera against immunoglobulin heavy and light chains. The results indicate a monoclonal plasma cell proliferation in the bone marrow, whereas the distribution of plasma cells in the spleen was polyclonal. The combination of chronic Gaucher's disease and monoclonal gammapathy was also found in the patient's brother.

On round-headed human spermatozoa.

In an infertile man and his only, likewise infertile, brother the sperm contained only round-headed spermatozoa. Electron microscopic examination of embedded ejaculate revealed a malformation, viz. absence of acrosomes in all the spermatozoa with consequent lack of normal development of the heads of the spermatozoa. Acrosomeless spermatozoa were also found in the testicular tubuli. No disturbance of the endocrine functions could be demonstrated. The blood cells were of normal male karyotype. Investigation of meiosis, on the other hand, showed rudimentary second division. Two other unrelated infertile men showed the same isolated disturbance in their spermiogram. Treatment with chlomiphene had no effect on the structure of the spermatozoa or on the infertility. The rare disorder, which seems to be a special syndrome, the first hitherto distinguishable among the various types of teratospermia, and its probable background are discussed.
