Orbital Burkitt's lymphoma in a homosexual man with acquired immune deficiency.

A 22-year-old homosexual man had persistent systemic lymphadenopathy and a three-week history of rapid swelling and induration of his right upper eyelid. Acquired immune deficiency leading to the development of lymphoma was suspected. A biopsy specimen of the mass revealed Burkitt's lymphoma and treatment with systemic chemotherapy and radiation therapy resulted in remission. A significant number of patients with acquired immune deficiency are developing Burkitt's lymphoma. The three separate syndromes of acquired immune deficiency and their associated ophthalmic manifestations are discussed.

A comparative study of heel-stick devices for infant blood collection.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate two heel-stick devices by comparing the volume of blood collected, blood sampling time, amount of hemolysis, pain inflicted during the procedure, and extent of bruising. DESIGN: Randomized trial. SETTING: Primary care center in a tertiary-level perinatal hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Forty healthy, full-term newborns with a postnatal age of greater than 24 hours. Newborns were fed no more than 1 1/2 hours before blood sample collection and fulfilled the requirement for routine phenylketonuria and thyroid screening. INTERVENTIONS: Newborns were allocated to a single stab with either an automated incision or a lancet puncture device. MEASUREMENTS/MAIN RESULTS: The total volume of blood and blood sampling time were significantly better with the automated incision device (P < .001). Hemolysis was also reduced with the automated incision device (P < .03). Plasma hemoglobin levels were below 1.0 g/L in all samples obtained with the automated incision device and in 71% of samples obtained with the lancet device. There were no differences in the extent of bruising or in pain symptoms manifested by mean increases in heart rate and percentage of time crying during the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: The larger volume of blood obtained within a shorter period for blood collection and reduced hemolysis with the automated incision device make it a preferred instrument for neonatal blood collection.

Multicentric warfarin-induced skin necrosis complicating heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

Two patients developed catastrophic multicentric skin necrosis while receiving warfarin to treat venous thromboembolism complicated by immune-mediated heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Patient 1 developed skin necrosis involving the breasts, thighs, and face, as well as venous limb gangrene and bilateral hemorrhagic necrosis of the adrenal glands, resulting in death. The second patient developed bilateral mammary necrosis necessitating mastectomies, as well as skin necrosis involving the thigh. Neither patient had an identifiable hypercoagulable syndrome, other than HIT. HIT may represent a risk factor for the development of multicentric warfarin-induced skin necrosis (WISN).
