[Axial computerised tomography - answered and unanswered questions on the ophthalmologist (author's transl)].

The results of 67 examinations with computerized axial tomography are presented with reference to the indications. 15 examinations were performed in exophthalmos, 11 in unknown visual field defects, 9 in optic atrophy of unknown origin, 8 each in optic neuritis, papilledema and unclear visual disturbance. 8 furthur examinations were performed in different cases. The axial computerized tomography proved to be an efficient complementary examination technique if it is limited to well defined indications. The best results are obtained examining exophthalmos and visual field defects.

New chromosomal dysmorphic syndromes. 2. Trisomy 10p.

This is the report of a family in which a balanced translocation in the mother t(5;10)(p15;p13) led to an unbalanced chromosomal constitution in two children. It was identified by G-banding analysis as trisomy of the distal portion of the short arm of chromosome 10 (p13 leads to pter). Comparison with 15 previous reports of trisomy 10p confirms the existence of a characteristic dysmorphic syndrome.

[Modern serology of rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis (author's transl)].

For the assessment of the situation after streptococcal infection and thus for prevention of rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis more simple and rapid serological tests are needed. The principle of indirect haemagglutination seems particularly suited for this purpose. A rapid slide test (streptozyme) for the simultaneous detection of antibodies against five streptococcal enzymes in capillary blood or serum was compared to four monospecific tests: latex-Asl, Antistreptolysin-O (ASL-O), antistreptokinase and anti NADase. Several lots of test kits and more than four hundred sera of adults and children with and without suspected rheumatic fever were tested. The number of falsely negative and falsely positive results was small as compared to single monospecific tests. Additional positive reactions were obtained when the ASL-O was within the normal range, but the titer against several exoenzymes were elevated, or, when the antibodies against a single exoenzyme were extremely strong. The precision of the polyvalent test may not be quite as high as if three monospecific tests are applied, It is however sufficient. Thus it seems unrealistic to require the performance of at least three monospecific tests under the present epidemiological conditions.
