[Intestinal yersiniosis: 25 cases of infections with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica (author's transl)].

Yersinia infections in 16 adults and 9 children are reported. 15 cases were caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, 8 of them were proved by serological findings. In 4 cases the infection by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was likely, in 3 other cases possible only. Real infections caused by serotype IV are demonstrated too. Furthermore there were 10 cases caused by Yersinia enterocolitica, 3 of them were proved by bacterial, the other ones by serological findings. Both germs caused identical symptoms: fever (80%), abdominal pains (56%), diarrhoea (52%), erythema nodosum (44%), arthritis (40%), vomiting (16%), weight loss (16%), lymphoma (12%) and others. In children 50% of erythema nodosum was produced by intestinal yersiniosis. The beginning with gastroenteritis and fever mostly was followed by a second phase with returning fever, abdominal pains, erythema nodosum and/or arthritis. Antibiotic therapy had a definite effect only in the first phase of gastroenteritis and in the two possibly relapsing cases. In two of 5 patients with long standing arthritis the HL-AB 27 was present.

[Ossification of the auricle in partial pituitary failure with selective ACTH and STH deficiency (author's transl)].

An acquired partial pituitary insufficiency of unknown origin with selective ACTH and STH deficiency was demonstrated in a 44-year-old patient. The clinical course over many years corresponds to subclinical Addison's disease with occasional acute crises. Ossification of both auricular cartilages and anhidrosis were outstanding signs. There is possibly a connection between the glucocorticoid deficiency over many years with normal mineralocorticoids and the auricular cartilage ossification.

[Relapsing polychondritis (author's transl)].

Report about a case of relapsing polychondritis in a woman aged 60 years, which was proofed through autopsy. There was involvement of the trachea, the bronchial system and the cartilages of the ribs. The cartilages of nose and ear did not show any typical changes; therefore the diagnosis could not be established during life. The pecularities of the clinical picture and the pathohistological findings are reported in detail. It seems that the polychondritis is related in it's pathogenesis to the rheumatic disorders. tthe etiology, however, remains obscure.

[Iron absorption after oral application of a combination of Fe2+-succinate and multivitamins (author's transl)].

The rate of iron absorption of Fe2+-succinate orally applied with multivitamins, was measured by means of whole-body counter in 45 subjects. The dosage was 330 mg ferrous succinate (115 mg Fe2+). Absorption was generally 4.5% (5.2 mg) in normal subjects, 8.6% (9.9 mg) in subjects with latent iron deficiency, and 29.6% (34 mg) in subjects with manifest iron deficiency. In women taking oral contraceptives and not suffering from iron deficiency, no significant increase in the iron absorption rate was measured.

[The distribution of destructive polyarthritic changes in the hand skeleton].

The distribution of common and erosive changes in advanced polyarthrosis is radiologically demonstrated in the hands of 32 patients. 23 of them showed erosive destructions in at least one joint. In general the alterations were symmetrical. Most of the destructions were seen in the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints, especially in DIP II, III, V and PIP III. Usually the thumb was spared. Most emphasis has been put on the differential diagnosis to rheumatoid arthritis and arthritis in psoriasis and gout. A recent concept concerning mechanical factors in the pathogenesis of so called primary osteoarthritis in the small finger joints is discussed.
