[Anticardiolipin antibodies--detection and diagnostic value].

Anticardiolipin antibodies belong to a family of antibodies to phospholid and are important in pathogenesis of some diseases. Statistically significant high titer of circulating anticardiolipin antibodies were found in SLE patients, thromboembolic events, thrombocytopenia and recurrent fetal loss. We tested 53 sera of SLE patients to anticardiolipin antibodies by own modification of ELISA. Only two sera were positive, one of them was associated with recurrent fetal loss and disease. The incidence of anticardiolipin antibodies in we have found no correlation with the activity of to those reported in other studies. Our tested sera (4%) was much lower in comparison.

Eradication of endemic syphilis in Bosnia.

The control of syphilis in Bosnia was organised and started by Professor Ernest Grin in 1948 and continued to the end of 1951. Regardless of the clinical picture, the treatment of endemic syphilis consisted of an oil suspension of penicillin with aluminium monostearate (PAM) 3.6 to 4.2 MIU for adults in six or seven intramuscular injections of 0.6 MIU every day or 1.2 MIU every other day. Today endemic syphilis in Yugoslavia is only historic fact.
