Early changes of lymphocyte RNA and serum immunoglobulins following chronic exposure to benzene.

Hematologic and immunochemical investigations carried out in 270 workers with chronic exposure to benzene demonstrated changes of the nucleologram and of the area of lymphocyte nucleoli as well as disorders of the humoral immune response revealed by radial immunodiffusion. The numerical rise of bi- and polynucleolated cells, of cells with irregular macronucleoli as well as an enlargement of the nucleolar area are assumed to reflect an increase of the endolymphocytic amounts of RNA. An increased capacity of immunoglobulin formation, particularly of IgM, was also observed. All these changes are considered as early signs of an enhanced immune reactivity following chronic exposure to benzene.

[Hepatic tuberculosis; difficulties of diagnosis and therapeutic management].

Micro, and/or macro-nodular lesions are frequently encountered in the liver in the course of the tuberculous disease, especially during primary dissemination, as well as during the secondary one. In some cases the evolution of liver tuberculous lesions will determine hepato-biliary symptomatology (hepatomegaly, icteric cholangitis) which makes necessary exploratory laparotomy. The authors present their experience in connection with 2 patients presenting liver tuberculous localizations during the primary dissemination. In one of the patients there were also active pulmonary lesions, while in the other one there were no manifest tuberculous determinations.
