Intranasal inhalation of beclomethasone dipropionate in the treatment of perennial rhinitis in adults.

Forty-eight perennial rhinitis patients completed a six weeks' open trial of intranasal beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol. Each received a daily dose of 400 micrograms. Thirty-five responded excellently, seven reported satisfactory improvement and six failed. This study indicated that patients with a demonstrable allergic component responded favorably. However, due to the wide margin of safety the authors suggest that it be tried on the non-infective perennial rhinitis with no demonstrable allergic component as well.

A syndrome of hypertension, convulsion, and cerebral haemorrhage in thalassaemic patients after multiple blood-transfusions.

Various combinations of hypertension, convulsion, severe headache, and cerebral haemorrhage appeared in eight thalassaemic patients after they had received 3--7 units of blood in preparation for splenectomy. Intracranial haemorrhage definitely developed in four patients, three of whom died. At necropsy the brains showed changes similar to those of hypertensive cerebral haemorrhage and hypertensive encephalopathy. It is believed that hypertension initiates this syndrome. Since the episodes often occurred days, as long as 15 days, after the last unit of blood was transfused, hypertension did not seem to result from volume overload, but probably from vasopressive substances provided by or occurring in association with multiple blood-transfusions. Host factors may also contribute.
