Relations between serum levels of TSH, TBG, T4, T3, rT3 and various histologically classified chronic liver diseases.
Serum levels of TSH, thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), T4, T3 and reverse T3 (rT3) were measured in 36 patients with fatty liver disease, 11 patients wih chronic persistent hepatitis, 17 patients with chronic active hepatitis, and 29 patients with liver cirrhosis. TBG was significantly above normal levels in both groups of chronic hepatitis, the slight concomitant T4 and T3 increase was significant only for T4 in chronic persistent hepatitis. A significant decrease in T4 and T3 concentration was found in fatty liver disease and in hepatic cirrhosis. A shift in T4 conversion to rT3 could exclusively be demonstrated for the group of hepatic cirrhosis, reflected by a significant increase in rT3. As our findings indicate normal TSH levels and a lack of clinical signs of hypothyroidism in chronic liver disease, the possibility of diverse regulating changes must be considered.

Persistence of Cryptococcus neoformans in seminal fluid and urine under itraconazole treatment. The urogenital tract (prostate) as a niche for Cryptococcus neoformans.
The open questions of the persistence of Cryptococcus neoformans in the urogenital tract under antimycotic treatment can be examined under optimal mycological-diagnostic conditions only. The example of a case of cryptococcosis in an AIDS patient diagnosed and treated with itraconazole in the early secondary stage of cryptococcosis is used to discuss the problems of the persistence of Cr. neoformans involvement in the urogenital tract (prostate). Data from a ten-week follow-up study are presented and discussed. The observations made have shown that itraconazole is effective in all regions of the body, with the exception of the urogenital tract. In addition to clinical examinations, cases treated with itraconazole should be finally subjected to cultural examination of prostatic secretion and/or seminal fluid, to exclude the possible presence of a symptom-free involvement of the prostate by Cr. neoformans.
