[Association, in the same subject, of deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4 (4p-) and of complete deficiency of parahydroxyphenyl-pyruvate oxidase activity in the liver (tyrosinosis)].

The authors report the association in a child of monosomy 4p- and tyrosinosis. They discuss the localization of the para-hydroxyphenylpyruvate oxidase locus on the short arm of chromosome 4. They suggest the study of para-hydroxyphenylpyruvate oxidase activity in each child with monosomy 4p-.

Cerebrospinal fluid enzymology: creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase activity and isozyme pattern as a brain damage index.

Blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid from a 4.5-year-old girl suffering from convulsive episodes of toxic origin were investigated for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) activities. Elevated levels of both enzymes were found. Furthermore CK was higher in the CSF (680 I.U./1) than in blood serum (160 I.U./1). The CSF activity was demonstrated mainly as the BB form (96%) for CK and H4 (63%) was the predominant form for LDH. Identical investigations were performed 45 h later and results compared with the first set. These data provide an additional example of interest in CSF enzymatic studies as a brain damage index.

Sequential rotavirus infections: characterization of serotypes and electrophoretypes.

Few studies have characterized the rotaviruses observed in repeated infections in the same patient. Rotavirus serotypes and electrophoretypes were determined from faecal samples of 24 children hospitalized between 1984 and 1989 in a Clermont-Ferrand hospital and who had had repeated rotavirus shedding. The patients were aged between 3 days and 4 years. Fifty infections were recorded. Of the 48 serotypes obtained, 18 were serotype 1 (37.5%), 10 serotype 2 (20.8%) and 20 serotype 4 (41.7%). Serotype 3 was not found. Seven serotype 2 infections were characterized during rehospitalization. Six patients had two subsequent infections with the same serotype.
