Abstract

Exciting new advances in transplant surgery are arising from the research laboratory and from clinical experimentation. Methods of immunosuppression and operative techniques have become standardized for renal transplantation. Pretransplant blood transfusions, immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporin A and a closed-circuit method of thoracic duct filtration hold promise for improved results in graft survival. Segmental pancreatic transplantation has recently been developed and may provide a brighter outlook for the multitude of patients with diabetes.

[Transient erythroblastopenia in 4 children].

In four patients, all girls, aged 2, 3.5, 4 and 5 years, transient erythroblastopenia was diagnosed. The children were presented because of acute pallor. The haemoglobin levels were 2.8 to 5.0 mmol/l. After 3 weeks all patients had recovered or were recovering with increasing haemoglobin values. Three of the four patients needed one blood transfusion. In two patients there was evidence of a parvovirus B19 infection. Transient erythroblastopenia is mostly seen in patients aged 1-4 years. Most cases are postinfectious and there is evidence that human parvovirus B19 is responsible for many cases. In the very young child the differential diagnosis from Blackfan-Diamond anaemia may be very difficult.
