Ankylosing spondylitis in females. Similarities and differences with male spondylitics.

Ten female and seventy two male patients suffering from ankylosing spondylitis were studied to evaluate differences between the two sexes. Low lumbar backache and inactivity stiffness were the commonest presenting complaints in females (8/10) as compared to males (34/72). They also had a later age of onset (25.4 + 6.16 yrs) compared to males (20.56 + 6.57 yrs). Females were found to be symptomatically milder with a more benign course of the disease. There were no significant differences in the frequency of extra-articular features and HLA B27 between males and females. A positive family history was more often seen in female ankylosing spondylitis (50%) than male (31.94%) patients.

Cryoglobulin studies in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Twenty-two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were investigated to study the incidence and immunochemical nature of circulating immune complexes. In 68.18% of patients, the immune complexes were detected as cryoglobulins. A significantly high value of serum IgG and IgA (1980.64 +/- 1031.53 and 283.81 +/- 131.02 mg% respectively) were observed in these patients compared to those in normal (1097.04 +/- 298.10 and 200.93 +/- 89.96 mg% respectively). The patients also had significantly low levels of serum complement fraction C3 (61.35 +/- 22.64 mg%). Correlation of these parameters could help in understanding of the role of immunochemical factors in the pathogenesis of the disease.
