RESUMEN

We report two cases of mixed dust fibrosis which occurred in the setting of poorly ventilated flour mills where various kinds of grain, chiefly wheat, were ground using stones whose silica content was analysed to be greater than 80 percent. While one patient was a non-smoker and the other was an ex-smoker, both cooked on kerosene stoves in the same room. We propose the term 'Flour mill lung' for this form of pneumoconiosis. A larger study would be required to establish the entity and its incidence among flour mill workers.

RESUMEN

Four patients from a Muslim family with an inherited skeletal dysplasia are presented. It is more crippling than usual form of spondylo-epiphysial dysplasia tarda and the onset is very early in the life i.e. at 4 years. The disorder is progressive, crippling and has striking clinical resemblance to juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The striking X-ray appearance is of platyspondyly and irregularities of capital femoral epiphysis. There is absence of any synovitis. Two of these patients are females aged 8 years and 18 years. The third patient is their cousin brother aged 6 years and their uncle who is of 50 years old and crippled.

RESUMEN

Markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and immune response against them were studied in 18 chronic asymptomatic carriers, 8 patients of the virus induced chronic liver disease (CLD), and 7 patients of chronic alcoholic liver cirrhosis, who were also chronic HBV carriers (CALC). The LMI responses to HBeAg were elevated in HBeAg and/or HBV-DNA positive chronic asymptomatic carriers, (median response 31.5%), along with elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase (sALT) levels (59-150 IU/l). On the other hand the LMI responses to this antigen, in HBeAg and HBV-DNA negative chronic carriers were in the normal range (median response 12%) and their sALT levels were also normal (7-50 IU/l). The CLD and CALC patients did not show any relation between their LMI to HBeAg and sALT levels. In contrast no relation between LMI to HBsAg and sALT levels was observed in any group. The LMI responses to HBsAg in CLD patients were elevated (median response 38%) and the responses of chronic asymptomatic carriers and CALC patients were either in the normal range or poor (median responses, 18 and 7% respectively), irrespective of their sALT levels. These results suggest that T cell responses to both the antigens may be involved in liver cell damage.

RESUMEN

The relative magnitude by hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis Non-A, Non-B virus (HNANBV) was determined in 496 children from three different parts of India suffering from acute viral hepatitis by tests for specific IgM class anti-HAV and anti-HBV antibodies in the serum. HAV, HBV and NANB infections accounted for 55.8 per cent, 20.2 per cent and 23.2 per cent of cases respectively. Hepatitis A largely (59.5%) affected younger children of 1-5 yr. Nearly a third of children affected by NANB hepatitis were additionally positive for HBsAg. The proportions of HAV and HBV infected cases respectively decreased and increased with increasing age whereas the incidence of HNANBV infection remained almost constant throughout childhood. Acute NANB hepatitis, a major health problem in the adults of India is also common throughout childhood. This study suggests that this infection does not impart long lasting protective immunity.
