A study of HLA and DRw antigens in severe recurrent herpes progenitalis (HSV-2) infection.

In this preliminary study the phenotypic distribution of HLA and DRw antigens was investigated in patients with recurrent herpes progenitalis. Ninety-three white men between the ages of 20 and 53 years, with at least a 2-year history of recurrent herpes progenitalis infection, and 558 age-matched white men from the same area of Los Angeles were studied by means of a microcytotoxicity assay. Statistical analysis of data indicated that there is no increased incidence of any HLA antigen. The B cell antigen DRw7 is present in 37% of the patients and 22% of controls, with a p value of 0.009 and a relative risk of 2.1. These results suggest that there may be genetic and immunologic factors that tend to predispose certain individuals to the development of recurrent herpes progenitalis when they are exposed to the virus.

Acid-base values of single pass, batch system, bicarbonate based hemodialysate.

The bicarbonate, calcium, and magnesium values of a single pass, batch system, bicarbonate based hemodialysate were found to be stable during a period of 5 hours, whether the solution was extensively covered by a floating polystyrene lid or not. The pH and PCO2 of the dialysate that had been covered with a floating lid remained stable during the 5 hours, whereas the corresponding values of the dialysate that had not been so covered did show changes that were secondary to the loss of carbon dioxide. The changes were not marked enough to preclude the clinical use of the latter uncovered dialysate.

Multiple traumatic bone cysts of jaws. Report of a case.

An unusual case of bilateral traumatic bone cyst occurring simultaneously in both jaws is being reported. The clinical features and treatment plan for these cysts have been discussed. It has been seen that exploration of such cystic cavity results in a rapid healing of the defect in a short span of time.
