[From qualification to quantification in immunoserological testings].

Abstract

During the 1980's, quantifications of immunoserological testings, especially C reactive protein, rheumatoid factor and antistreptolysin O, progressed rapidly. However, marked interlaboratory differences in these quantifications have been observed. In this brief review, difficulties to satisfy requirements for good quantitative performance in immunochemical assays are discussed.

Parkinsonian features after streptococcal pharyngitis.

Bradykinesia and rigidity developed in a 10-year-old girl during an episode of Sydenham chorea. These parkinsonian features improved over 6 months. Serum analysis demonstrated elevated anti-streptolysin-O and anti-basal ganglia antibodies. We suggest that autoimmune antibodies may cause remitting parkinsonian signs subsequent to streptococcal tonsillitis as part of the spectrum of poststreptococcal CNS disease.
