Fibrosing alveolitis and hepatitis B surface antigen-associated chronic active hepatitis in a patient with immunoglobulin A deficiency.

Fibrosing alveolitis is described in a 22 year old woman with immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-associated chronic active hepatitis. At lung biopsy HBsAg was detected by indirect immunofluorescence in the alveolar space but not in the septal fibrosis. We discuss the possible relationships between IgA deficiency on the one hand, and HBsAg-associated lung and liver diseases on the other hand.

Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia during treatment with chenodeoxycholic acid.

The authors describe a slight but significant increase in the serum levels of indirect-reacting bilirubin in gallstone patients after 3 and 6 mo of treatment with chenodeoxycholic acid. A return to pretreatment values was noted at 9 mo. The mechanism of this abnormality remains unclear. Two explanations are theoretically possible: a subclinical hemolysis or a modification of the hepatic transport and/or the conjugation of bilirubin.

Villous adenoma of the duodenum. Endoscopic diagnosis and resection.

The authors report a new case of villous adenoma of the duodenum diagnosed by X-ray examination and duodenoscopy. Endoscopic removal allows an accurate histologic diagnosis. This endoscopic resection relieves symptoms and spares the patient a laparotomy. It seems to be an acceptable treatment of benign duodenal tumors.
