Bilateral adrenal lymphoma presenting as Addison's disease.

We describe an unusual case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the adrenals which presented as Addison's disease. Examination of tissue taken by computed tomography guided biopsy revealed a high grade B cell centroblastic lymphoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy but died from invasive aspergillosis. Autopsy confirmed bilateral adrenal involvement by lymphoma.

Studies on in vitro culture supernatant of P. falciparum. Isolation of antigens for serology.

Twenty-four-hour-old in vitro culture supernatant of Plasmodium falciparum was collected and a comparative study was carried out using supernatant antigen and antigen prepared from in vitro culture of P. falciparum parasites in ELISA with sera from slide-positive malaria cases. The results were comparable, and in certain cases higher ELISA readings were observed with the supernatant antigen.
