Lysozyme in ulcerative colitis.

Studies were carried out on the neutrophil activity in a course of ulcerative colitis. Activity of lysozyme in blood serum as a granulocyte-derived enzyme was assessed. The studies included 60 patients who had 82 relapses and 11 patients with remissions. They were classified into mild, moderate and severe relapse according to severity of disease. Increased activity of lysozyme in blood serum was shown. That may indirectly prove the role of functional state of neutrophils in the disease.

Nitroblue tetrazolium test in course of ulcerative colitis.

Studies were carried out on the neutrophil activity in a course of a ulcerative colitis (UC). Phagocytic ability of granulocytes was assessed in spontaneous and stimulated nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction test. The studies included 60 patients who had 82 relapses and 11 patients with remission. They were classified into mild, moderate and severe relapse according to severity of disease. Increased phagocytic ability of neutrophils in spontaneous and stimulated NBT reduction test was shown.

[Amoebiasis--a problem in patients with ulcerative colitis].

The increasing problem is presented of Entamoeba histolytica invasion in patients with ulcerative colitis. The diagnostic-therapeutic management in five patients with amoebiasis is discussed in detail. This parasitic invasion occurred in five out of 103 patients with ulcerative colitis which accounts for 4.85%. This data is important for the treatment of chronically ill patients with ulcerative colitis.

[Appendicitis and its atypical causes].

The authors analysed 2849 patients who were admitted to the Department of General Surgery, Regional Hospital in Pisz in the years 1980-1989 with symptoms suggestive of appendicitis. In 983 cases surgical intervention was abandoned, because the symptoms regressed spontaneously or were caused by diseases of other organs. The pathological conditions associated with appendicitis are analysed in 1866 surgically treated patients. Cases of appendicitis caused by Oxyuris vermicularis, Salmonella-enteritidis and actinomycosis (one case each) and appendicular carcinoma (2 cases) are described in more detail. Attention is called to the aetiology, pathogenesis and treatment of these rare causes of appendicitis.
