[The evolution of immunological markers in acute viral hepatitis B. A study in 177 patients].

This is a report about 177 patients suffering acute viral hepatitis type B; 135 (76%) men and 42 (24%) women. Sequential monitoring was carried out of HBe Ag, HBs Ag and their corresponding antibodies until negativitation or positivitation. Even though the immune response was adequate, there were three kinds of response: a) Simultaneous, disappearance of antigens and appearance of antibodies at the same time; 46% for antigen e and 39% for s. b) Late the elimination of antigens preceded the appearance of the antibodies; 37% for antigen e and 34% for antigen s. c) Early, the antibodies anticipated negativitation of antibodies which enables both markers to be detected simultaneously; 17% for antigen e and 27% for antigen s.

[Posttransfusion hepatitis. A prospective study].

This prospective study was carried out on thirty patients transfused with blood or blood products, by ten (33.3%) posttransfusion hepatitis was diagnosed; this is 15.75 cases per 1,000 U transfused. Four patients developed jaundice; six remained asymptomatic. In nine patients (90%) non-A, non-B hepatitis was diagnosed and one (10%) case was classified as hepatitis B. Two patients with non-A, non-B hepatitis developed chronic hepatitis, corroborated through percutaneous liver biopsy.

[The importance of tuberculosis in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The clinical and therapeutic aspects].

These is presented a study of 50 patients suffering TB and AIDS. The universe was divided in two: group I, when TB was considered the first manifestation of AIDS; (27 males and 2 females). Group II, when TB was preceded by some opportunistic infection, some kind of cancer, or some clinical symptoms compatible with wasting syndrome; (20 males and 1 female). There was no difference between the two groups regarding epidemiology, since homo-bisexuality was the most frequent among males. Neither were significantly different the clinical features of TB in both groups, and the most frequent symptoms were: fever, productive cough and painful lymphadenopathy. Both groups showed miliary infiltration on the lung X-rays; lymph nodes were the most frequent extrapulmonary localization. The only significant difference was found when the mortality was compared group I, 10 patients (34.4%) vs 16 (76%) from group II (p less than 0.01). An other part of the study is related with the efficacy of rifampin and isoniazide (31 cases), compared to their efficiency when these drugs are used combined with a third one (10 cases); the results showed no significant difference.
