[Porphyria and anesthesia. A case report and a short review (author's transl)].

The most important facts for the anesthesiologist about porphyria are presented on the basis of an own case. The acute abdomen with unusual accompanying symptoms (tachycardia, neurologic and psychic disorders) should rise suspicion of possible porphyria. The clinical diagnosis is most important for the anesthesiologist, because barbiturates may cause fatalities in 50% of the cases. Halothane should be avoided, too. Every suspected case should be carefully investigated including the family. The symptomatic therapy of the severe porphyria-attack is presented in short.

A modified polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid complex that induces interferon in primates.

A comlex of polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid (poly I-poly C) with poly-L-lysine and carboxymethylcellulose has been prepared. This complex is five to 10 times as resistant to hydrolysis by primate serum as the parent poly I-poly C. It has a thermal denaturation temperature about 40 C higher than that of poly I-poly C. The complex induces significant levels of serum interferon in monkeys and chimpanzees under conditions in which poly I-poly C itself induces no interferon.
