Successive legionellosis in the course of lymphomatoid granulomatosis.

A 75-year-old male presented with typical cutaneous lesions and pulmonary involvement due to lymphomatoid granulomatosis. A legionellosis was associated with this condition. Though the radiological findings in lymphomatoid granulomatosis are suggestive, they are not specific, and set a difficult problem in distinguishing the two conditions. Monoclonal antibody studies indicated the predominance of CD8 T lymphocytes in the infiltrate of the skin, as well as in the bronchoalveolar fluid.

Dermatitis herpetiformis associated with relapsing polychondritis.

A 35-year-old woman developed typical relapsing polychondritis within a year following the onset of dermatitis herpetiformis. This occurred during a reduction in the dapsone dose regimen. To our knowledge, the coexistence of these two conditions in a single patient has not yet been reported in the literature. Both the parallel course and the good response to dapsone suggest a pathogenic link between these two diseases.

Immunofluorescent evidence of an FMRFamide-like peptide in the peripheral nervous system of the gastropod mollusc Helix aspersa.

An antiserum raised against the FMRFamide peptide revealed a highly developed peripheral nervous system in the mollusc Helix aspersa. Immunoreactive fibres associated with muscular fibres are observed in all organs. Cell bodies are frequently seen, for example in the digestive and genital tracts. The antiserum also revealed associations between immunoreactive fibres and non-reactive perikarya. In Helix aspersa an FMRFamide-like peptide is most likely a neurotransmitter/neuromodulator for muscular and peripheral nervous activity.
