Unusual clinical presentation of acute sarcoidosis.

A 16-year-old male developed fever and productive cough of 2 months' duration. Extensive search for an infectious process was negative. After appearance of knee joint effusion, a transbronchial biopsy through a fiberoptic bronchoscope revealed histological findings consistent with sarcoidosis. The patient recovered after a course of prednisone therapy. The atypical presentation of this systemic disease caused considerable delay in diagnosis and initiation of treatment.

Prevalence of HBsAg carriers in pregnant women in Jerusalem: risk for horizontal transmission to family members.

A prospective study was undertaken in Jerusalem to quantitate the HBsAg prevalence rate in pregnant women, to assess the effect of ethnic origin on HBsAg prevalence rates, and to determine the impact of HBsAg carrier state on hepatitis B virus horizontal transmission in the family. Of the 6,572 women screened at the time of delivery, 42 (0.64%) were found to be HBsAg positive. Although the percentage of Moslem women was 3.4% of the total study population, they accounted for 23.8% of the HBsAg positive mothers. This resulted in a prevalence rate of 4.48% as compared to only 0.5% in the Jewish population (P < 0.01). Nine percent of siblings born to HBsAg positive mothers and 29% of the husbands were found to be horizontally infected.
