A case of severe hypoalbuminaemia in a patient on long-term dapsone treatment for dermatitis herpetiformis is described. The mechanism for this complication is uncertain, but increased intravascular albumin catabolism has been suggested.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect class-specific antibodies to wheat protein antigens. Antibodies which we detected by this technique reacted indistinguishably with antigens prepared from crude gluten, crude gliadin, alpha-gliadin, Frazer fraction III, and subfraction B and B3
The anti-inflammatory influence of dapsone may involve suppression of neutrophil chemotaxis to selected attractants, but other actions of the drug are likely also involved. We have discovered that dapsone may suppress migration of neutrophils to extravascular sites through inhibition of adherence
Severe hypoalbuminaemia developed in two patients on long-term dapsone treatment for dermatitis herpetiformis. The patients had been treated with dapsone for 3 and 11 years before the syndrome developed and both recovered completely when dapsone was withdrawn. Albumin-turnover studies revealed a
The aim was to determine the effect of steeping and sprouting on wheat grain proteins and the functional consequences in this regard. The solubility of proteins and the polypeptide composition of albumins, globulins, gliadins and glutenins were determined, as well as the content of non-protein
Of 228 patients with adult coeliac disease, 42 (19%) were diagnosed aged 60 years or over. In this series, of 35 patients who did not have dermatitis herpetiformis, 15 had attended family doctors and hospital outpatient departments for an average of 28 years with unexplained symptoms or
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to determine in a homogeneous adult population from Denmark, which is known to have very low incidence rates of coeliac disease, 1) the percentage of patients presenting with mild or atypical symptoms; 2) a possible change in clinical pattern over time; and 3)
