ABSTRACT
An externship was developed for academic credit but also offered financial remuneration for students. It is believed that a partnership between an educational institution and a health-care institution might offer students the opportunity not only for reality-based clinical practice, but also to enhance their education. Benefits to the agency include recruitment of students for future employment; benefits to the university include additional credit generation without additional revenues, because instructional costs are borne by the contracting health-care agency. Evaluations of this joint endeavor have been enthusiastic, with positive outcomes for all.

We studied a case of Wolman's disease that is apparently the first to be reported in a black infant. Culture of the skin fibroblasts showed massive accumulation of neutral lipids, accompanied by decreased esterolytic activity as measured by fluorometric assay. Electrophoresis showed decreased activity of an esterase allotype, with low electrophoretic mobility.
