ACTIVE 'JUVENILE' CIRRHOSIS CONSIDERED AS PART OF A SYSTEMIC DISEASE AND THE EFFECT OF CORTICOSTEROID THERAPY.

This is a clinical study of 81 patients (32 male and 49 female), who are not alcoholics, with jaundice of hepato-cellular type lasting longer than three months. Forty-nine of these patients were under 21 years of age. The natural history of the condition and the response to corticosteroid therapy is described; good symptomatic relief can be achieved with corticosteroids but they do not seem to prolong life. The aetiology is discussed with special reference to the relationship to viral hepatitis, to systemic lupus erythematosus, and to other disturbances of immunity.

A clinicopathological study of benign Hodgkin's disease.

A series of 44 cases of benign Hodgkin's disease is reported. The condition occurs most commonly between the ages of 15 and 35 years and affects men more often than women. The presenting symptom is painless lymphadenopathy, frequently in the neck, and often confined to a single group of nodes. The histological features are the presence of Sternberg-Reed cells in a back-ground of mature lymphocytes intermingled with a small number of reticulum cells. Mitotic figures are usually present only in the Sternberg-Reed cells. The prognosis is good; 93% of cases survive five years and 85% 10 years. About one-quarter of the cases show transition to classical Hodgkin's disease after a period of five or more years and die with widely disseminated Hodgkin's disease. Biopsy-excision followed by radiotherapy is the treatment of choice.
