Alport’s syndrome is reviewed in historical retrospect. Previous histological studies of temporal bones are carefully reviewed and compared with the present findings in light microscopy of 5 temporal bones (3 patients). It is concluded that as yet there have been no findings of specific inner-ear changes in explanation of the perceptive hearing loss.
We present the case of an elderly female patient who developed acute and severe hepatitis with two distinct peaks following blood transfusion. The serological markers and histopathology during the first attack were characteristic for hepatitis non-A, non-B (NANBH), whereas the second peak was due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Electron microscopy revealed morphologic equivalents for both hepatitis agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
