Pre-eclampsia and changed paternity.

A review of 34, 201 multigravid deliveries found 47 patients who had severe pre-eclampsia after previous normotensive, non-albuminuric pregnancies. In 13 of these patients the affected pregnancy was apparently by a new father compared with 3 matched controls (P less than 0.01). This evidence supports the idea of a paternal immunogenetic factor in pre-eclampsia; immunogenetics.

Pregnancy and Nelson's syndrome. Two case reports.

We describe two patients with Nelson's syndrome in whom pregnancy progressed normally to spontaneous delivery of normal infants. One patient, who subsequently was found to have a basophil adenoma of the pituitary, developed diabetes insipidus in late pregnancy and the diabetes insipidus regressed spontaneously after delivery.

Influence of previous blood-transfusion on incidence of pre-eclampsia.

The incidence of pre-eclampsia in 125 primigravidas who had previously received blood-transfusions was significantly less than in a matched series of controls--i.e., 12.8% compared with 23.2%. This suggests that immunological factors may be involved in the aetiology of pre-eclampsia.
