Systemic mastocytosis. Report of a case.

The case of a 20-year-old woman with systemic mastocytosis is reported. The disorder was not preceded by a clinically diagnosed local form of the disease; fibrous changes in organs, bone changes, eosinophilia and increased serotonin, heparin or histamine levels had not been observed. Clinical symptomatology was typical and the patient died one year after the first signs of the disease.

Ageing and autoimmunity.

A total of 483 healthy persons from Czechoslovakia, divided into three age groups (below 40, 41-60 and above 61 years) were examined for eight types of autoantibodies (antibodies to epithelial cells and to colloid of thyroid gland, parietal cell antibodies, antibody to intersititial duct cells of parotis and to adrenal cells, anti-nuclear and anti-mitochondrial antibodies, intrinsic factor antibodies). A significantly increased occurrence was observed in the oldest age group, the results being more manifest in women. A conspicious increase was seen particularly in the thyroid antibodies. The results correspond to those of other authors from different geographic areas.

[Histopathological picture of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation].

The paper deals with histological analysis of 72 cases characterized by the finding of capillary microthromboses characteristic of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). It has been stressed that, in addition to the usual fibrillary fibrin deposits, DIC is also characterized by the occurrence of globular fibrin formations, most frequently found within the hepatic and hypophyseal sinusoids. In the present series, microthromboses were obviously more frequent within the capillaries of organs such as the renal glomeruli or plexus chorioideus, wherein significant amounts of water are lost from circulating blood.
