[Genetic background of rheumatoid arthritis in connection with a family tree].

Authors present a rare history of a family with accumulation of autoimmune diseases. From eight siblings four had rheumatoid arthritis, one systemic lupus erythematodes, one primary Sjögren syndrome, and one Reiter disease. Interestingly, neither the parents nor the offsprings were affected. Because of the possible genetic background, the authors performed HLA serologic and DNA investigations in nine members of the family. The results showed, in agreement with data from the literature, the accumulation of HLA-DQ7 (DQB1*0301), DR4, B27 and DR6 (DR13) risk factors. This observation confirms, that the clinical and immunogenetic features are different in familiar and sporadic forms of rheumatoid arthritis. Authors summarize the genetic background of rheumatoid arthritis in connection with this family tree.

A simple method for measuring lateral flexion of the dorsolumbar spine.

A simple method for measurement of spinal dorsolumbar lateral flexion is described. Measurements performed on 200 healthy 19-year-old men showed that normal lateral flexion was about 10% of body height. The method which requires only a measuring tape correlates well with that recorded by the more sophisticated inclinometer.

[Allergic gastric hemorrhage in a case of milk hypersensitivity].

In a 50-year-old patient who was repeatedly hospitalised on account of melaena and twice operated without finding an ulcer the cause of the haemorrhage was first unknown. In the sixth massive haemorrhage endoscopically was established a haemorrhagic erosive gastritis which underwent a spontaneous retrogression (gastroscopic control). Since the skin test on milk was positive, it was not thought of an allergic gastritis by milk and a provocation test was carried out twice which had a positive result (haemorrhagic erosive gastritis after instillation of milk into the stomach). With the publication of this case the attention shall be turned to the gastric haemorrhage caused by a nutritive allergy as well as to the diagnostic value of the simply producible provocation test.
