Leukopenia After Postmastectomy Irradiation-Reply

Our article essentially was a factual report of what happened to patients and was little documented in the literature. On first principles, we believe that we should all be aware of patient responses to therapy. The implications of these responses are interesting, but we agree that they remain implications and are obviously difficult to confirm. We have been surprised by the responses that we have provoked from our radiotherapeutic colleagues. It almost appears that to some, postoperative radiation therapy is not to be challenged in any way. To those who deny the existence of the phenomenon that we reported, we would suggest first that they look more closely at their own material and second, that they look very closely at their technique and dosage to be sure that they are technically doing what they think they are. If indeed our results are peculiar to Rochester General Hospital, then

REPLY TO LETTER FROM DR. ANDREW AGELOFF

To the Editor : I would like to reply to the letter from Dr. Andrew Ageloff, Chief Resident in Pediatrics, Rochester General Hospital, on page 313 of your March issue, vol 105, No. 3. It distresses me to see that Dr. Ageloff condemns the use of corticotropin (ACTH) in the treatment of jaundice of prematurity because of the infection which has occurred in his unit. I gave corticotropin to more than 100 infants in Marston Green Premature Baby Unit (near Birmingham), England, during 1959 and 1960 and found no increase in the existing low infection rate. Since 1961, Dr. Eileen Hill has been in charge of the unit and has continued to experiment with corticotropin in the treatment of jaundice of prematurity. When I saw her last August, she had had no trouble with infection. As the result of her work, she has reduced the dosage which I used in the

Unilateral primary interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. Unknown etiology.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss a case of primary interstitial pulmonary fibrosis limited to one lung. The discussion will revolve around the classification of this particular case, which has no demonstrable etiology. Particular interest is devoted to the Hamman-Rich syndrome and the possibility of an allergic etiology. A 28-year-old, 5 months' pregnant white female was admitted to Rochester General Hospital. Two years previously she had first noted a chronic cough with morning production of one teaspoon of white sputum. Progressive dyspnea had been noted 4 to 6 months prior to admission, and orthopnea had been present for 2 weeks as had daily hemoptysis of one cup of blood, with coughing and dyspnea. She had been seen in another hospital for these complaints one week before admission, when right basilar pneumonitis and cardiomegalia were diagnosed. Penicillin, tetracycline, and sulfa drugs had been used for the month prior to

The Value of Bacteriological Studies in Pneumonia Occurring in Age Group 15-60

1. In the age group 15-60, 625 cases with pneumonia admitted to The Rochester General Hospital from 1948 through 1953 were reviewed. 2. Particular attention was paid to coexistent diseases and bacteriological studies in relation to the course of the disease and the treatment received. 3. With routine antibiotic therapy the course of the disease was dependent more upon the presence of coexistent disease than upon the virulence of the causative organism. 4. In 340 cases of pneumonia without significant coexistent diseases, bacteriological studies were of possible value as a guide to therapy in only five and even these were doubtful. 5. In cases of pneumonia in the age group 15-60 without significant coexistent disease, it is felt that routine bacteriological studies are unnecessary. 6. A classification of pneumonias based on the presence of coexistent disease is presented as a guide to treatment and prognosis. It is felt that this will be generally more useful to the clinician than previous classifications based on bacterial etiology.

Two of these compounds are metacortandracin and metacortandralone, which were recently reported as being of value in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by Bunim et al.1They recently made preliminary observations on the antirheumatic and anti-inflammatory potency of these synthetic steroids. The structural formula of metacortandracin and metacortandralone and their close relationship to cortisone and hydrocortisone are noted in the figures below.
