Kaposis sarcoma in a Nairobi hospital.
BACKGROUND Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is associated epidemiologically with HIV infection and a number of countries have reported a dramatic increase in the incidence of KS with the advent of AIDS. Although AIDS is prevalent in Kenya, no studies on the impact of AIDS on the pattern of KS has been carried out. OBJECTIVE To determine any changes in the pattern of KS that might have occurred since the...
متن کاملNon-immune Hemolysis: Diagnostic Considerations.
Non-immune hemolytic anemia (NIHA) is characterized by positive routine hemolytic tests but negative anti-human immunoglobulin (Coombs) test. Hereditary non-immune hemolysis includes disorders of erythrocytic enzymes, membrane, hemoglobin (qualitative and quantitative disorders), as well as the rare hereditary forms of thrombotic microangiopathies. Acquired NIHA includes paroxysmal nocturnal he...
متن کاملKinetic Studies on Immune Hemolysis
A quantitative method for the study of the kinetics of immune hemolysis is described. In the presence of excess C' and limited amounts of antibody the kinetics of hemolysis resemble those of enzymatic processes. Assays of hemolytic antibody should therefore be based on velocity measurements rather than end point titrations.
متن کاملStudies on Immune Human Hemolysis
The Donath-Landsteiner reaction was studied using low and high titer antisera and purified antibody, normal and PNH erythrocytes, and human serum complement. The requirement for complement in both the cold and warm phases of the reaction depended upon the level of antibody used and the sensitivity of the cells to hemolytic antibodies. Complement was not necessary in the cold phase using PNH cel...
متن کاملInterference with Immune Hemolysis by Glycoprotein Antigens
1. The titer of an individual insulin antiserum measured by hemagglutination agrees favorably with the titer of the same antiserum as measured by immune hemolysis. 2. In contrast, a marked decrease is noted in the immune hemolysis titers relative to hemagglutination titers of antisera prepared against three different sialic acid-containing proteins (human chorionic gonadotropin, rabbit transfer...
