The pustular lesions may easily be misdiagnosed unless the clinician is aided by the presence of a persistent primary lesion or ...

To estimate the incidence and causes of secondary thrombocytosis in children, a 12 month study of all patients attending a children's hospital and discovered to have a platelet count over two times the upper normal limit (>800xlO9//l) was undertaken. Data so obtained were analysed both separately and together with those from two previous studies to gain as broad a perspective as possible. Of 79...

Our data were similar to prior reports of the prevalence of glaucoma associated with selected specific uveitic entities.2-12 The prevalence has been especi...
