Comparison of CT and chest radiographs in the evaluation of post-therapy lymphoma patients.

A comparative study of the efficacy of thoracic CT (TCT) and chest radiograph for the assessment of complete remission, residual or recurrent disease, was undertaken on 31 post-therapy lymphoma patients (23 Hodgkin's, 8 non-Hodgkin's). The TCT and chest radiograph were evaluated independently. Compared with the chest CT, the sensitivity of the chest radiograph was low (56%). The confidence level of abnormal findings on the chest radiograph was lower, Additional diagnostic information provided by TCT influenced the clinical management in 33% of the cases. Compared with the chest radiograph, TCT had a higher diagnostic and management efficacy at the follow-up evaluation of post-therapy lymphoma patients.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and lymphosarcoma associated with multiple myeloma: report of three cases.

Three patients had the rare occurrence of multiple myeloma coexisting with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or lymphosarcoma. It is not possible at present to resolve the question as to whether these two diseases represent part of the spectrum of a single B-cell disease or wether multiple myeloma and lymphoproliferative disorders are two separate entities, which may rarely occur by coincidence in the same patient.

Anti-Holley (hy): characterization of another example.

Anti-Hy, in a serum of a black man who had received multiple blood transfusions, was found to be a warm reactive and polyclonal IgG antibody which did not bind complement in vitro. 51Cr-labeled Hy-positive red blood cells in the patient showed a shortened "2-component" survival curve. Hy antigens were not detected on leukocytes, platelets, or in the serum of Hy-positive individuals.
