Defective neutrophil chemotaxis and bactericidal power in a child with hyperimmunoglobulinemia E.

An 11-year-old boy with a life-long history of atopic-like dermatitis and recurrent staphylococcal abscesses was found to have defective neutrophil chemotaxis, impaired-T-lymphocyte functions, hyperimmunoglobulinemia E, and delayed neutrophil bactericidal power. This latter defect has never been found in such patients. The patient's mother revealed a panhypogammaglobulinemia, while his sister and maternal grandmother who had repeated infections were immunologically normal.

Lazy leukocyte syndrome.

A-35-year-old woman with a long-lasting history of neutropenia and recurrent infections was found to have defective neutrophil chemotaxis, random motility, and in vivo migration. Although the bone marrow granulocyte reserve was normal, the patient failed to release an appropriate amount of granulocytes after injection of etiocholanolone. These features are characteristic of the so-called "Lazy leukocyte syndrome". The clinical presentation of the five cases of this syndrome so far reported and its pathophysiological aspects are discussed.

Neutrophil functions in acne conglobata.

Chemotaxis, random migration, phagocytosis, spontaneous and stimulated NBT reduction were evaluated in neutrophils from the peripheral blood of 8 patients with acne conglobata and were found to be normal. Only 2 patients had an increased spontaneous NBT reduction, and another exhibited a defect in neutrophil adhesiveness. On this basis, intrinsic defects of the major neutrophil functions, as evaluated in vitro, can be excluded in acne conglobata.

Buckley's syndrome.

An infant girl with chronic eczema, recurrent infections, elevated IgE and impaired neutrophil chemotaxis appeared to belong to the group of patients described by Buckley, Wray & Belmaker (1972). An hereditary influence is suggested by a similar defect found in the patient's mother. Levamisole improved the in vitro defect and the clinical picture.

[Hormones and hair growth in man].

A literature review tries to diminish the ambiguity between hormones and hairs. Therefore the hormonal action in general (regulation of the protein synthesis indirectly by enzymatical regulation of the AMP-system or directly by hormones as active metabolites) and the methods to explore hormones-hair-interaction are discussed. Hormones pertaining to the pituitary-adrenal-gonadal axis are regarded as the paramount hormones; therefore the results of research in testosterone, 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, estrogens, progesterone, glucocorticoids, the hypophysis and its tropins are recapitulated. The main disorders of hair-growth, pattern baldness and "idiopathic" hirsutism, which would be dependent on a similar disturbance of androgen metabolism, are discussed. Pathology in hair-growth may arise in any point of the cascade of hormone action.
