The authors report on a patient with spontaneous thrombosis of the right axillary vein (Paget-Schroetter syndrome). The treatment with low-molecular weight heparin was successful and no complications were observed.
Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD) is a relatively rare serious disorder of the lymphatic system with various organ manifestations and a significant immunological background. It probably represents an abnormal reaction to different chemical and biological antigens. The etiopathogenesis of the disease is still poorly understood. The authors report on findings in a series of five patients with AILD. Stress is laid on polymorphous symptomatology, unpredictable course and on resulting diagnostic as well as therapeutic difficulties in dealing with the disease.
Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy is usually characterized as a lymphoproliferative disease caused by an abnormal reaction to various chemical and biological antigens and the possible development into malignant lymphomas of different types. The authors evaluate clinical and laboratory findings in a group of their patients suffering from the above disease. They emphasize the variable symptomatology, the frequently atypical course and the ensuing diagnostic difficulties.
