Bee venom allergy.
Bee stings are a common occurrence and for most people they cause only mild local discomfort, but for a few they are life threatening. The author considers the natural history of bee venom allergy, the place of diagnostic tests in assessing bee venom allergy, the emergency management of allergic reactions, and the use of bee venom immunotherapy in children.

Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome caused by Graves' disease.
We observed three patients in whom carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) developed in association with hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease). The course of one of these patients was marked by resolution of symptoms and electrophysiologic measures of CTS that paralleled the remission of Graves' disease after treatment with radioactive iodine. No other treatment of CTS was required or given. There may be a causal relationship between Graves' disease and CTS.
