[Fungal infections in 2 cases of fulminant hepatitis].

Infectious complications are highly prevalent in patients with fulminating hepatitis. We report 2 female patients, aged 42 and 80 years old, with fulminating hepatitis caused by virus B and virus non-A non B, who died 20 and 25 days after initiation of the disease. Post mortem examinations showed severe C albicans infection of the gastrointestinal tract. A literature review is included.

Decreased erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity in multiple sclerosis.

The mean activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in erythrocytes of 22 Israel-Jewish patients with multiple sclerosis (19.3 +/- 4.5 U/gHb) was significantly lower than in a control group of 30 Jewish patients with various neurological disorders (24.3 +/- 5.1 U/gHb). This observation confirms a similar finding of a decreased activity of GSH-Px in erythrocytes of multiple sclerosis patients in Denmark (Shukla et al. 1977). These results are discussed in relation to the possibility of selenium deficiency and to the recently described genetic polymorphism and ethnic variation of GSH-Px activity in human red cells. It is concluded that additional investigations are required in order to elucidate the cause of the decreased activity of this enzyme in red cells of patients with multiple sclerosis.
