Canine leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania leishmania infantum in two Labrador retrievers.

Canine leishmaniasis, a generally fatal parasitic disease, was diagnosed in 2 dogs with a medical history of foreign travel, lymphadenopathy, emaciation, anorexia, intermittent fever, and cutaneous lesions. Clinically, hyperproteinemia, proteinuria, azotemia, and glomerulopathy were evident. Isolation of Leishmania species was done using Schneider's Drosophila medium. Syrian hamsters were used for infectivity studies. Clear taxonomic identification was done biochemically by isoenzyme analysis and comparison of zymogram banding patterns with 6 World Health Organization reference strains. Based on the geographic origin of affected dogs, clinicopathologic presentation, visceralization with hepatosplenomegaly in hamsters, and isoenzyme analysis, a diagnosis of Leishmania leishmania infantum was made. This study, representing the first taxonomic identification of an isolate from canine leishmaniasis, demonstrates the zoonotic and epidemiologic implications of this disease.

A child with Refsum's disease: successful treatment with diet and plasma exchange.

A child with Refsum's disease presented with cardiac failure, marked muscle wasting, weakness and inco-ordination. Management with multiple plasma exchanges and dietary restriction of phytanic acid intake has reversed the disabling features of the disease, although levels still remain higher than target values. Low phytanic acid intake is being achieved by restriction of total fat to 10 to 12 g/day, while allowing free amounts of fruit and green vegetables.
