Direct immunofluorescent studies of skin biopsies in pemphigus.

Direct immunofluorescent studies of skin biopsies from 16 pemphigus vulgaris patients revealed immunoglobulin deposits in 12 (75%) cases with fluorescence at intercellular areas in epidermis. In 2 patients (12.5%) dermoepidermal junction also showed immunoglobulin deposits. IgG was the commonest type of immunoglobulin demonstrated in 12 out of 16 (75%) cases followed by IgM in 5 (31.25%) and IgA in 1 (6.25%) cases. Seven (43.75%) cases showed presence of IgG alone while IgM with IgG was found in 4 (25%) cases. One (6.25%) case showed deposition of IgG, IgM and IgA. The results indicated that demonstration of immunoglobulin in skin biopsies by direct immunofluorescent technique is quite a useful adjunct in diagnostic confirmation of pemphigus.

Serum copper and ceruloplasmin in pregnancy with anaemia.

Estimation of serum copper and ceruloplasmin was done in 25 non pregnant females, 25 healthy pregnant women followed from I to III trimester and 75 pregnant women with anaemia--25 in each trimester. Anaemia was further divided into mild, moderate and severe types (27, 32 & 16 cases respectively). Normal pregnancy was associated with progressive increase in serum copper and ceruloplasmin--values being highest in III trimester. All types of anaemias in pregnancy revealed statistically significant elevation of serum copper and ceruloplasmin when compared to corresponding gestational period in normal pregnancy.
