An immunoenzymatic method for improving the sensitivity of antigen measurement by electroimmunodiffusion techniques. Application to the quantification of human alpha-fetoprotein.

A double antibody technique of electroimmunodiffusion, which uses glucose oxidase-labelled sheep antibodies to rabbit immunoglobulins as second antibody, is described. Primary antigen-antibody reaction is carried out with a rabbit antiserum by electroimmundiffusion. The glucose oxidase-labelled immunoreagent, being of general application, can serve for the quantification of different antigens and is here used for measurement of low levels of human alpha-fetoprotein. Reproducible results in the range of 50-800 ng/ml were obtained with a variation coefficient of 5 to 10%.

Acute intestinal anisakiasis in Spain: a fourth-stage Anisakis simplex larva.

A case of acute intestinal anisakiasis has been reported; a nematode larva being found in the submucosa of the ileum of a woman in Jaén (Spain). The source of infection was the ingestion of raw Engraulis encrasicholus. On the basis of its morphology, the worm has been identified as a fourth-stage larva of Anisakis simplex. In Spain, this is the ninth report of human anisakiasis and also probably the first case of anisakiasis caused by a fourth-stage larva of A. simplex.

[Digestive tract hemorrhage secondary to jejunal angiodysplasia associated with jejunal diverticulosis].

The most important factor in the management of alimentary tract bleeding is the adequate localization of the lesion. Small bowel bleeding is a rare entity and determination of the specific anatomic site is difficult. Once stomach, duodenum, or colon origin has been discharged through endoscopy, methods such as angiography and Tc99m RBC scans are appropriate. We present a patient with lower gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to jejunal angiodysplasia associated with jejunal diverticular disease. In the present case, Tc99m RBC scans were used to identify the bleeding site. In cases of lower gastrointestinal bleeding of undetermined origin, we suggest the consideration of both diagnoses (angiodysplasia or diverticular disease) with exploratory celiotomy to resolve these pathologies, particularly in the elderly patient.
