A case of abdominal mycobacterial infection mimicking acute appendicitis in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patient is reported. The case illustrates the unusual aetiology of an acute abdomen in this population and the report reviews the aetiology of surgical abdominal pain in HIV infection and discusses the management of abdominal mycobacterial infections.

Priapism may be classified as the classical veno-occlusive form or the more recently described high flow, arterial type. We report a case of posttraumatic arterial priapism in a 7-year-old boy. The successful management with percutaneous transcatheter embolization of the internal pudendal artery is described.

Transfection of the c-Ha-ras-1 oncogene, cloned from EJ/T24 cells, into different mouse bladder epithelial cell lines resulted in the acquisition of tumorigenic potential and, in all but one cell line (MB33I), anchorage-independent growth. Sera from syngeneic mice bearing tumours immunoprecipitated an 18 kDa protein from ras-transfected urothelial cells which was not detectable in their parental counterparts. Screening of a limited panel of mouse cell lines showed this protein to be urothelium-specific and associated with the expression of an activated ras gene. Polyoma middle T and v-myc-transfected bladder epithelial cells did not express this 18 kDa protein. Localization of this protein to the cell surface was demonstrated by immunofluorescence and absorption studies.
