Sickle-cell haemoglobin C disease in London.

The manifestations of the sickling disorders are becoming increasingly familiar to clinicians in Great Britain. One of these disorders, sickle-cell haemoglobin disease, has hitherto received little attention, being regarded as a relatively mild condition. This paper describes some of the distinctive clinical features of the disease as seen in a series of nine cases which have recently presented in London, two of which were fatal. The special hazards of the condition in relation to pregnancy, air travel, and general anaesthesia are discussed.

A haematological study of patients receiving long-term treatment with trimethoprim and sulphonamide.

The haematological effects of long-term treatment for three months with a combination of trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole were studied in 10 cases of chronic bronchitis. Trimethoprim selectively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase in bacteria but not in man. Only minor effects on folate metabolism were observed in nine cases, causing no clinical concern. Some degree of thrombocytopenia occurred in the tenth case which improved when folinic acid was given.
