Heterophile Hanganutziu-Deicher antibodies in sera of patients with Kawasaki diseases.

The heterophile antibody levels in sera from patients with Kawasaki disease (49 sera from 39 cases) were measured by sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) agglutination and radioimmunoassay in microplates coated with Hanganutziu-Deicher (H-D) antigen-active glycosphingolipid, equine hematoside. The antibody levels were low in the first week of illness, increased rapidly in the 2nd week, and thereafter gradually decreased. The SRBC agglutination titers and H-D antibody titers of sera from patients with Kawasaki disease from week 2 to 8 of illness were significantly higher than those of healthy children (44 sera) and normal cord blood (13 sera).

Liver lipids in Letterer-Siwe disease.

A case of Letterer-Siwe disease in a thirteen-month-old girl with markedly swollen gums, an enlarged liver, and seborrhoic skin eruptions is reported. She died from pyopneumothorax in spite of treatment with prednisolone and vinblastine. Analysis of hepatic lipids showed that there was remarkable increase in free fatty acid, which is not seen in normal human liver. Cholesterol ester was also accumulated in the liver tissue. However, the concentrations of phospholipids and glycerides were low and lysophospholipid was found. It is assumed that there was increased intracellular lipolysis in the proliferating reticuloendothelial cells.
