Extragenital donovanosis: three cases from Western Australia.

Three unusual cases of extragenital donovanosis are described. The presenting features were ulceration of the anterior abdominal wall, discharging sinuses of the neck, and an abscess of bone, respectively. Two cases were diagnosed recently and were the only instances of extragenital infection in a series of 47 patients with confirmed donovanosis diagnosed at a public health laboratory in Perth, Western Australia, between 1979 and the beginning of 1985. The third case, which occurred in 1977, was found in the records of a major teaching hospital.

Inter-observer variation in the histopathological reporting of Hodgkin's disease: an analysis of diagnostic subcomponents using kappa statistics.

Levels of agreement between nine pathologists on the Rye classification of Hodgkin's disease and on diagnostic subcomponents used in applying the classification, were analysed by kappa statistics. Pathologists experienced comparatively little difficulty in agreeing on the presence of nodules and lacunar cells and hence best agreement was achieved on the nodular sclerosis category. Poorer agreement levels on the lymphocytic predominance, mixed cellularity and lymphocytic depletion categories were explained mainly by problems in the assessment of numbers of lymphocytes and abnormal reticulum cells other than Reed-Sternberg cells. Identification of the Reed-Sternberg cell, although of paramount importance to a diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease, appeared to have no great practical relevance to use of the Rye classification in this series of cases.

The Rye classification of a population based series of Hodgkin's disease patients in Western Australia.

Data are presented on the incidence in Western Australia of subtypes of Hodgkin's disease which were obtained by review of all cases of the disease notified between 1960 and 1974. Observations were also made on within- and between-observer agreement on the use of the Rye classification by a group of 9 surgical pathologists, all in the day-to-day practice of pathology. Although many consensus diagnoses were made only after spirited discussion by the Group, the results suggested that general surgical pathologists can perform nearly as well as lymphoma experts. A comparison of the incidence of Hodgkin's disease and distribution of Rye subtypes in Western Australia with 4 other populations showed a similar overall incidence but appreciable variation in the relative frequency of the subtypes--mainly in the proportions of nodular sclerosing and mixed cellularity.

A further case of chronic ulcerative enteritis.

A further case of chronic ulcerative enteritis is presented. In this case there was clear evidence that the ulcerative process was superimposed upon atrophic jejunitis with malabsorption. The development of ulceration produced a picture of small bowel obstruction and its differential diagnosis from neoplasm was not possible without laparotomy.
