Elevated plasma levels of carcinoembryonic antigen in cystic fibrosis.

Elevated levels of plasma CEA were found in patients with cystic fibrosis. The elevations were well correlated with the Shwachman scores of the patients. Parallel changes of the levels of plasma CEA and clinical conditions of four patients were also observed in the follow-up studies. Close clinical examination indicated that the elevated plasma CEA of cystic fibrosis patients may be derived from sputum which is produced in abnormal amounts. This hypothesis is further supported by the very high content and the chromatographic profile of the CEA activity of sputum from patients with cystic fibrosis.

Multiple sclerosis and elevation of cerebrospinal fluid vaccinia virus antibody.

Thirty percent of 33 patients with a clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and an elevation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) immunoglobulin G/albumin ratio greater than 2 standard deviations above the mean had elevation of the CSF vaccinia neutralizing antibody titer. Elevated titers were found in 1 of 23 patients with non-multiple sclerosis neurologic diseases and in none of the normal control patients. No linear correlation was found between the magnitude of the relative or absolute CSF immunoglobulin G concentration and the magnitude of the CSF vaccinia neutralizing antibody titers.
