Abstract

The development of the immunologic basic research and a deeper insight into the pathogenesis of diseases with changed immune reactivity led to an intensivation of the clinic-immunologic in-vivo- and in-vitro-diagnostics. At the instance of the pulmonary diseases according to the classification of Gell and Coombs the immunologic-diagnostic possibilities and problems are shown. Here is referred to the importance of the use of standardized tests and of the wide replaceability of in-vivo-techniques by in-vitro-methods.

A case of Goodpasture's syndrome associated with anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies.

A case of Goodpasture's syndrome with anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) antibodies is reported. Histological examination revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis and alveolar hemorrhage with linear deposition of IgG along the glomerular capillary walls and alveolar capillary walls by immunofluorescence microscopy. Not only anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies but also anti-MPO antibodies, an anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, were simultaneously detected in the serum. Although it is generally accepted that crescentic glomerulonephritis in Goodpasture's syndrome is mediated by anti-GBM antibodies, this case suggested that anti-MPO antibodies might also participate in the pathogenesis of crescentic glomerulonephritis and probably alveolar hemorrhage of Goodpasture's syndrome, especially with vasculitis.

[Diagnostic criteria, physiopathology and etiology of intra-alveolar hemorrhage].

In the first part of this article the clinical and paraclinical criteria of intra-alveolar haemorrhages are reviewed. The principal signs and symptoms are dyspnoea, haemoptysis, anaemia and bilateral alveolar and interstitial opacities. Computerized tomography of the chest shows a non-systematized alveolar filling. In the second part, the cytological and histological criteria are considered; they are provided by examination of the alveolar lavage fluid and by lung biopsy. Finally, the main elements in the physiopathology and causes of these haemorrhages are successively described.

Deposition of beta 1H globulin in kidneys of patients with immune renal disease.

Renal biopsies from patients with a variety of immune type renal diseases were examined by immunofluorescence for the presence of C3 and its control protein, beta 1H globulin. Deposits of beta 1H were found in every instance (21 of 21 biopsies) in which C3 deposits were observed, irrespective of the underlying disease resulting in the C3 deposits, including lupus nephritis, acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis, and Goodpasture's syndrome. In no instance was beta 1H found independently of C3. As previously shown in in vitro systems, beta 1H also binds to C3, presumably C3b, during activation of the complement system in immunologically induced renal disease.
