Abstract

We report a case of Coombs' positive autoimmune haemolytic anaemia occurring in a patient with chronic hepatitis C virus infection, after five months of alpha-interferon administration. Prednisolone treatment induced a complete remission of both clinical and hematological findings after two months, while Coombs' tests became negative after three months. This points out the possibility of an additional unusual extrahepatic autoimmune feature during the course of hepatitis C virus infection.

Abstract

Three-hundred and thirty-three patients with respiratory allergic disease from southern Italy, a zone characterized by interesting environmental conditions, were studied from 1983-1986 in order to determine their salient epidemiological features. The classic allergological diagnostic procedures (history, skin Prick test and RAST) were utilized. Studies have confirmed the prevalence, in pre-puberty, of respiratory allergic disease in males and Dermatophagoides sensitization. The importance of olive pollen, which is the most common pollen sensitization in children with the tendency to be asthmogen is illustrated. Data concerning the distribution of sensitizations between rural and urban environments are discussed.
