The role of single sample detection of specific anti-Toxoplasma IgM in accurate evaluation of seroconversion during acquired toxoplasmosis.

Specific IgM anti-Toxoplasma antibodies were sought in 94 serum samples by means of D.S. IgM ELISA. These antibodies were detected in all cases of acute toxoplasmic lymphadenopathy, but up to 13 months from onset of symptoms and in out of 20 patients with chronic toxoplasmosis and in one out of 20 seronegative individuals. They were neither detected in samples from 4 infants with high IgG IFAT titres associated with hydrocephalus and cerebral calcification, nor in samples from patients containing rheumatoid factors and those with lymphoma or infectious mononucleosis. Thus the detection of IgM antibodies seems non decisive mean for identifying infected infants and for determination of the exact date of acquiring the infection.

Treatment of HBsAg-,HBeAg-positive chronic active hepatitis with adenine arabinoside. A case report with clinical remission and seroconversion to anti-HBs.

A 26-year-old patient developed HBsAg-, HBeAg-positive chronic active hepatitis arising from an acute infection 6 months earlier. Treatment with adenine arabinoside (Ara-A), 15 mg/kg/day administered as overnight infusions for three weeks, resulted in clinical and complete biochemical remission with normalisation of aminotransferases, loss of HBsAg, HBeAg and DNA polymerase, and appearance of Anti-HBs during follow-up for 9 months. Treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection using Ara-A for several weeks may be especially effective when initiated early in the course of the disease.
