Effect of lithium carbonate on the peripheral leukocyte count in children suffering from haematological malignancies.

Effects of lithium carbonate on peripheral white blood cell and granulocyte counts were investigated in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma. Li2CO3 given orally for two weeks in a single daily dose of 700 mg/m2 caused a significant and lasting increase in the peripheral WBC and granulocyte counts and increased the granulocyte ratio during induction of remission and maintenance cytotoxic therapy. Haematologic actions and the long-term effect of lithium carbonate are discussed.

Acute Disease

Effect of lithium carbonate on the bone marrow of patients treated for haematological malignancies.

Patients suffering from haematological malignancies were treated with Li2CO3 in order to investigate its effect on the bone marrow depleted by cytotoxic therapy. The results revealed that lithium induced a great number of cells, especially myeloids, in the previously hypoplastic bone marrow. There was a close relationship between the cellularity of the bone marrow and the changes in peripheral WBC and granulocyte counts during lithium carbonate treatment.

[Case report of a twin-monster, dicephalus, dibrachius (author's transl)].

The dicephalus dibrachius twin malformation is a rare developmental anomaly. Spontaeous birth is impossible. Prenatal diagnosis of this condition is difficult though essential to prevent danger to the life of the mother. Radiological examination before birth is necessary. Auscultation and bimanual examination only may lead to the erroneous diagnosis of a twin pregnancy, as in this case, where in the end a cesarean sectionwas performed because unseparated twins were suspected.
