Adult-onset Still''s disease with atypical cutaneous features

INTRODUCTION: The diagnosis of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) can be very difficult. There are no specific tests and reliance is usually placed on a symptom complex and the well described typical rash seen in most patients. In recent years, however, other cutaneous manifestations of AOSD have been reported but these are not so well known. OBSERVATIONS: We report a patient with urticaria and fixed plaques and review the other 'atypical' cutaneous findings associated with AOSD. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of AOSD can be made in the absence of the typical Still's rash but in the presence of other atypical cutaneous features.

The value of immunoglobulin and complement levels in the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis

Serum IgG, IgGl, G2, G3, G4, IgM, C3c and C4 concentrations were measured in 24 term neonates with sepsis and 17 healthy normal neonates of similar age, sex and weight (control group). The serum IgG, IgG1, G2, G3, G4, IgM, C3c, and C4 levels were similar in the patients with sepsis and the control group ( p > 0. 05). In the neonates with sepsis, serum IgG, G1, G2, IgM and C4 levels were not significantly different between the 1st and 10th days, while there were significant differences for IgG3, G4 and C3c ( p < 0. 05). We conclude that the serum levels of IgG, IgG1, G2, G3, G4, IgM, C3c and C4 concentrations are of no value for the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
