[Cryoglobulins in rheumatoid arthritis: exhaustive detection, immunochemical findings and clinical expression].

Cryoglobulins were measured in 29 patients (24 female, age 53.8 +/- 9.8 years) with rheumatoid arthritis (70% active). The cryoprecipitate was isolated, characterized and quantified. Cryoglobulinemia, always polyclonal or type III, was found in 83% of patients. The most frequent immunochemical isotypes found were IgG and A. Acrocyanosis was found in 50% and Raynaud phenomenon in 32% of patients with cryoglobulinemia. It is concluded that exhaustive detection of cryoglobulinemia in rheumatoid arthritis demonstrated a higher frequency than previously reported an is important for understanding pathogenesis of the disease.

[Erythema chronicum migrans and Lyme's disease].

A 66 year old woman with a history suggesting a tick bite on the right arm developed a slowly expanding erythematosus lesion. Similar lesions appeared on the trunk and extremities in the following months. A skin biopsy showing spiral shaped agents and the clinical findings were compatible with erythema chronicum migrans. A course of penicillin resulted in complete resolution of the lesions. After a 2 year follow up period she remains free of rheumatic, neurologic or cardiac lesions of Lyme's disease.

Transient osteoporosis of the hip.

Osteoporosis in a painful hip is usually a sign of inflammation or tumor. There exists, however, a self-limited clinical entity that presents with pain in the hip and where the only roentgenological manifestation is osteoporosis. Eight patients with this disease are described: five men and three women, ranging in age from 29 to 50 years. In four patients, the onset of disease was related to sprain, pregnancy, or delivery. Laboratory analyses and the clinical course of the disease excluded inflammation or a neoplasm as the cause. All patients fully recovered with 12 month, with no sequelae. The etiology of the disease remains unknown.
