[Differences in the use of C-reactive protein analysis and erythrocyte sedimentation in general practice and hospitals. Development from 1986 to 1995].

Analysis for C-reactive protein (CRP) was introduced in the Vejle Hospital catchment area in 1987. During the next ten year period the use of CRP has increased to reach a stable level both on hospital wards, out-patient clinics and in general practice. While the use of erythrocyte sedimentation rate on wards has decreased correspondingly, this is not seen in out-patient clinics or in general practice. There are medical as well as practical reasons for this discrepancy. It is believed that the possibility of performing a CRP as a point-of-care test in the GPs office in the future will lead to a reduction in the number of analyses of erythrocyte sedimentation rate performed in general practice as well.

Subclinical activation of lupus nephritis by recombinant human growth hormone.

The effect of growth hormone (GH) on subclinical disease activity in a 15-year-old boy with previously quiescent lupus nephritis and chronic renal failure is described. Institution of supraphysiological doses of GH resulted in a rise in erythrocyte sedimentation rate, decrease in serum complement, rise in anti-DNA antibody titers, and increase in T-cell activation markers, all of which improved following cessation of GH treatment.

Malignant otitis externa with optic neuritis.

Malignant otitis externa is a serious condition that presents difficulties in treatment, and also in monitoring its progress. A case of malignant otitis externa with optic neuritis is presented that remained refractory to standard treatment but was cured by adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This is the only reported case that has survived this disease with optic neuritis. The usefulness of imaging techniques in this condition is discussed, as well as the ESR, in evaluating the effectiveness of treatment.
