Bone marrow in nine cases of clinical glandular fever and a review of the literature.
A review of the literature and the findings of a bone marrow examination in nine patients with glandular fever are reported. All marrows showed marked generalized hyperplasia of erythroid, myeloid, megakaryocytic, and reticulum cell elements with a greater or less ;shift to the left' in the first three cell groups. The hyperplasia was maximal in two cases. Another case (the index case which was responsible for initiating this study) showed extremely bizarre cytological features of all four elements, and from many fields in the marrow smears it would have been possible to make a diagnosis of malignant transformation of any of the four marrow components. All these changes had returned to near normality on repeat marrow examination 15 months later.

Further observations on inclusion-bearing cells in urinary sediment in infectious diseases.
A study of the cytology of the urinary sediment in 43 patients with known viral diseases has revealed a variety of inclusion-bearing cells in 28.The morphology of the cells suggest that the changes recorded may be due to the viral infections, at least in some instances, bearing in mind the findings of workers quoted in our 1964 report that cellular changes very similar to those induced by virus infections can be initiated by non-viral stimuli. Multinucleate giant cells are occasionally found in chickenpox, measles, herpes simplex infection, and in mumps.

STANDARD BARIUM SULPHATE SUSPENSIONS.
It has been shown that the state of the volumetric flask, the order of mixing the reagents, and the temperature of the reaction are important influences on the optical density readings of standard barium sulphate suspensions. The rate of mixing the reagents does not appear to be important.A reproducible method for preparing a standard barium sulphate suspension with an optical density equivalent to 100 mg. protein per 100 ml. is described.
