Reiter's syndrome following Shigella flexneri 2a: a sequel to traveler's diarrhea. Report of a case with hepatitis.

Shigella flexneri 2a was isolated from a patient with Reiter's syndrome (RS) following a family outbreak of traveler's diarrhea. Among 3 members at risk, only the patient was positive for HLA-B27. Data from 3 similar families support the hypothesis that susceptibility to RS is genetically transmitted. It is urged that every effort be made to culture and subtype Shigella and other enteric pathogens in RS following diarrhea. Concurrently, the patient had hepatitis, interpreted as a parallel enteric infection.

Thymic humoral factor effect on intracellular lymphocyte cAMP in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Intracellular cAMP was measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with ankylosing spondylitis and from controls. The effect of thymic humoral factor (THF) on T lymphocyte cAMP content was monitored in both groups to determine if there were any differences in immature T cell proportions. Equivalent cAMP levels were found in patients and controls in the absence of THF and again after stimulation with this immune modulator.
