RESUMO
We analysed serum uric acid concentrations in a group of healthy male and female volunteers in Córdoba (Spain) possessing varying nutritional habits, in order to correlate them with their usual alcohol intake as measured according to a protocolized, blind dietary questionnaire. There was no significant correlation between the serum uric acid and the amount of alcohol regularly drunk by either male or female individuals. These results suggest that a moderate alcohol intake has no effect on uricaemia in healthy individuals.

The authors study the serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in multiple myeloma patients in relation to survival, plasma cells bone marrow infiltration, and creatinine and paraprotein serum values. Twenty five patients seen between 1979 and 1983 were studied considering two groups, one with LDH values higher than 100 IU/1 and the other with LDH values lower than 100 IU/1. Patients having more than 100 IU/1 showed a more marked bone marrow infiltration. Paraprotein concentration was higher in patients having less than 100 IU/1. No correlation was observed for the other factors considered.

Fifty three patients having fever of unknown origin according to the criterion of Petersdorf and Beeson were studied. Malignant tumors were found to be the cause in 21 per 100 of the cases. The authors indicate the time required to make an etiologic diagnosis, and the procedures employed for it.
