ABSTRACT
We report the second infant of nonconsanguineous parents with epidermolysis bullosa junctionalis associated with urinary bladder exstrophy, epispadias, anteriorized anus, and bilateral inguinal hernias. The family history also included the death of a maternal cousin due to epidermolysis bullosa. Our diagnosis was based on electron microscopy and immunofluorescence evidence. This patient is reported because of the rarity of this constellation of findings.

A statistical assessment was made of the results obtained in a study of the behaviour of the protidogram and serum agglutinins in rabbits subjected to Salmonella typhi murium vaccination and 25 and 50 mg/kg per day gastric mucoprotein. Albumin values were decreased in animals both vaccinated and treated, moderately increased in those that received mucoprotein only. Globulins increased in both groups. Antibody increases were most marked in animals vaccinated and treated with the larger mucoprotein dose.
