[A case of lymph node aspergillosis].

Lymph node aspergillosis in an otherwise healthy patient receiving neither antibiotic corticosteroid or immunodepressive drug treatment is an uncommon event. In addition the case reported revealed no deficiency in humoral or cellular immunity. The possibility that aspergillosis may occur in cases without identifiable immunodeficiency is therefore put forward.

[Alpha2-macroglobulin in diabetic disease and in its microangiopathic complications].

The role of alfa2-macroglobulin in diabetic microangiopathy pathogenesis is described. A study of the behaviour of this protein in a group of diabetic patients with and without microangiopathy and in a control group of healthy patients has been carried out. It has been found that the protein greatly increases in diabetic patients with microangiopathy. On the basis of these results, it is suggested that dosage of alfa2-macroglobulin can be a possible test for evaluating microangiopathic complications in diabetes.

[Acute plasma-cell leukemia. Report of a case].

A case of fatal, diffused plasmacytoma is presented. The picture also included leukaemia and is felt to be an example of plasma-cell leukaemia, as opposed to plasmacytoma in the light of the anatomical and clinical features of the onset and course: high and very pronounced plasma-cell leukocytosis, diffuse proliferation of the plasma cell series in the bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes, infiltration of plasma cells in the parenchymal organs, extremely rapid progress with serious anaemia, haemorrhage, general organic involvement, high fever, and infection.
