[Repeated abortions, sterility and systemic dysimmunopathy (author's transl)].

A patient with lupus disease had a previous medical history of five recurrent temporary bouts of thrombopenia which were followed by spontaneous abortions. This raises the two-fold problem of the relationship between circulating immune complexes disease and thrombopenia, and dysimmunopathy and pregnancy disorders. The hypothesis is raised of a trophoblastic necrotizing angeitis due to abnormal immunity processes involved in some cases of sterility, spontaneous abortions, and even nephropathies during pregnancy.

[Systemic allergic vasculopathy after naproxen (author's transl)].

The authors report a case of hypersensitivity angiitis presenting with cutaneous, muscular, articular, and renal signs. They suggest a possible etiological mechanism for such disorders: a circulating immune-complex disease, and criticize the often improper interpretation of the results of lymphoblast transformation tests. Hypersensitivity angiitis, "ground base disease", requires investigation for possible underlying immunity abnormalities or neoplasms.
