Comparison of oxatomide and clemastine in the treatment of chronic urticaria. A double blind study.

A double-blind trial comparing a new antihistaminic agent (oxatomide) with clemastine was carried out in 30 patients with chronic urticaria. The study included over-all clinical assessment by patient and clinician as well as determination of excretion of 1,4-methylimidazoleacetic acid determined by a reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatographic method. It was found that the effect of oxatomide was equal to that of clemastine.

Herpes gestationis in association with neoplasma malignum generalisata. A case report.

A case of herpes gestationis (HG) and a hormone producing tumour in a woman is presented. The disease had a fulminant course and the patient deceased within months. Fifteen years ago a hydatidiform mole had been removed. Only rarely has HG been associated with hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma. We believe that our patient had a human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) producing germ cell tumour. Although extremely seldom encountered, the association of HG to neoplasms should be kept in mind.

Type-I reactions to commercial fish in non-exposed individuals.

The frequency of type-I reactions (contact urticaria) to plaice, whiting, common dab, witch, codfish, Norwegian haddock, herring and halibut has been examined in 26 individuals; 23 of these carried through all the investigations. 65% of the volunteers had a positive scratch patch test to one or more species of fish. All 20 min closed patch tests were negative. 5 of the volunteers were atopics. They showed about twice as many positive scratch patch tests when compared to the non-atopics. The investigation shows that the "fish allergen" is destroyed by cooking but not by freezing. The possibility of common and specific fish allergens is discussed.

Toxic hepatitis due to combination therapy with methotrexate and etretinate in psoriasis.

A case of toxic hepatitis caused by combination therapy with methotrexate and etretinate in the treatment of severe psoriasis is presented in a 47-year-old woman. The patient had received methotrexate alone for more than 10 years without any signs of severe liver damage. The liver status had been controlled by consecutive liver biopsies. The treatment was discontinued and after 2 months the liver parameters became normal.

Contact urticaria to commercial fish in atopic persons.

The frequency of contact urticaria provoked by certain fish prepared in the Danish fish industry was examined in 14 persons with atopia. In 71.4% of the test persons we found positive confirmation in a 20-minute scratch patch test to one or more fish species. All occluded patch tests were negative, while 33.9% of the scratch patch tests were positive. It was impossible to make a correlation between positive scratch patch tests and atopic allergen/total IgE. The investigation emphasizes that atopics have a higher frequency of contact urticaria to fish than have non-atopics.

Giant basal cell carcinoma with metastasis and secondary amyloidosis: report of case.

Basal cell carcinoma of the skin is a slow growing relatively benign tumor usually located on the head and neck. Although rare, metastasis to lymph nodes or parenchymatous organs has been reported previously (1-9). We wish to add another case of metastasizing basal cell carcinoma of the skin, which presented certain unique features only rarely reported (1), namely complicating amyloidosis in the kidneys, the lymph nodes, the spleen and probably in the intestinal canal.

Pneumopyopericardium as a complication of a benign gastric ulcer. A case report.

The first case of pneumopyopericardium secondary to perforation of an ulcer in an intrathoracically placed stomach after esophagogastrostomy was reported in 1965 (Romhilt & Alexander, 1965). A review of the literature reveals that this condition is extremely rare as apparently only three cases have been reported since then (Gago, Chopra, Ellison & Silverman, 1973; Gleser, 1973; Pelligrini & Cenni, 1972) and only one with recovery (Gago et al., 1973). The purpose of this paper is to point out this possible complication of esophagogastrostomy in those patients who have undergone this operation for a benign disease and in whom prolonged survival is expected.

Non-traumatic intra-hepatic rupture of the biliary tree. Report of a case.

Non-traumatic extra-hepatic rupture (NTEHR) of the bile system into free peritoneal cavity is a well-known condition. Usually the gall-bladder is the site of perforation, but non-traumatic perforation of the common bile duct and the hepatic duct occurs. For the hepatic duct it is extremely rare and has so far been reported in only 7 cases in adults (Christensen, Baekgaard & Blichert-Toft, 1977; MacWilliams, 1912; Reich, 1942). A review of the literature reveals, that non-traumatic intra-hepatic rupture (NTIHR) in the biliary tree with perforation into free peritoneal cavity has apparently never been reported before. The purpose of this paper is to report two such cases with recovery.
