Chronic ulcerative colitis, skin necrosis, and cryofibrinogenemia.

Necrotizing skin lesions developed in a man with chronic ulcerative colitis. No evidence of intrinsic disease of medium or small-sized vessels was found. A circulating cryofibrinogen was thought to be responsible for in situ thrombosis leading to skin infarctions. Sodium warfarin in a daily dose of 2.5 to 5 mg appears to have thwarted progression of developing lesions and the occurrence of new ones.

Gamma globulin complexes in rheumatoid pericardial fluid.

Cardiac tamponade due to pericarditis occurred in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Aspiration afforded us an opportunity to expand the characterization of pericardial fluid. Elevated acid phosphatase levels, decreased whole hemolytic complement and gamma globulin complexes similar to those found in rheumatoid synovial fluid were noted, supporting the concept of a unitary nature of inflammation in rheumatoid disease.
