Recurrent fever of unknown etiology: failure to demonstrate association between fever and plasma unconjugated etiocholanolone.

A sensitive method for determination of plasma unconjugated etiocholanolone by double-isotope-derivative dilution has been described. The mean values for normal subjects was 0.038+/-0.003 (SEM) mug/100 ml.40 patients, 20 with familial Mediterranean fever and 20 with other diseases characterized by recurrent fever were studied. The over-all mean concentration of plasma unconjugated etiocholanolone for the patients (febrile or afebrile) was 0.101 +/-0.012 mug/100 ml, significantly above that of normals. Mean plasma values for the patients while they were febrile did not differ from the mean values when they were afebrile. It is suggested that the concentration of plasma unconjugated etiocholanolone is not related to fever in these patients.

Giant neutrophil granules in the Chediak-Higashi syndrome of man, mink, cattle and mice.

The percent of conventionally stained circulating neutrophils containing abnormal giant granules in Chediak-Higashi mink, cattle and mice is highly variable and strikingly less than the 100% found in neutrophils from similarly affected humans. In contrast, using either peroxidase or Sudan Black, it can be demonstrated that 100% of circulating neutrophils in all affected individuals of the four species studied contain the abnormal granules. Minor species differences in the shape of the granules were noted. The significance of these findings as well as the variations in granular staining by the several techniques employed are discussed.
