While not the only form of reactive arthrits, Reiter's syndrome is the eponym given to a form of reactive arthritis associated with with the classice triad of conjuntivitis, urethritis, and inflammatory arthritis. Although in popular use, the term Reiter's syndrome has become clouded, not only because of the variable pathophysiology of reactive arthritis, but also because of Reiter's own past as an early member of the Nazi party and his prominent role in the German health system during the Thrid Reich, including involvement with involuntary medical procedures and experiments in Nazi concentration camps. As is often the case, the eponym attached to the syndrome does not honor the original describers of the disease, although doubtless Reiter's account remains the classic description. We offer a brief historical review of the disease, and complete it with a translation into English of Reiter's original publication.

“…His attitude in utero is more inclined to be influenced by such a condition as a relaxed abdominal wall, and his mother has had a greater opportunity to develop thyroid disease, changes in her cardiovascular system, or even cancer. Embryonic and fetal development may be influenced directly by local pelvic pathology or indirectly by con Many reports of this syndrome followed in the French, German, and Scandinavian literature, but it was not until 1942 that the disease was recognized in America and reported by Bauer and Engleman.4 Since then there have been numerous reports in the American literature,5 but except for one questionable case 6 they have all been in men. For this reason I wish to report the occurrence of this disease in a woman.…”

for x-ray therapy. Some might argue that irradiation in this case was a useless procedure. This fact was considered but it was felt that the patient should have the benefits of any doubt.SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS This is as far as I know the first case reported of of multiple primary tumors complicating the same pregnancy. A case report of a 22-year-old Negro woman with carcinoma of the rectum and carcinoma of breast, both discovered and treated during the pregnancy, is given.The literature is reviewed and tumors of the younger age groups as well as multiple tumors are noted to be rare.Carcinoma of the rectum during pregnancy is discussed. The literature contained reports of 77 cases, with one added here for a total of 78. In carcinoma of the rectum I recommend the following measures: (1) in the first and second trimesters a resection of the lesion either by abdominoperineal resection or section with an end-to-end anastomosis;(2) in the seventh and eighth months a cesarean section and, depending on the status of the patient, a resection of the malignancy at this time or after two to four weeks; and (3) in the ninth month

“…Two of the cases reported below underwent cystoscopic examination in the acute stage and the findings were exactly similar to those seen in abacterial pyuria. Lever and Crawford (1944) pointed out that the whole triad of Reiter's syndrome is not always present. This may be due to the urethritis or conjunctivitis not being severe enough to attract the patient's attention.…”

PENICILLIN IN THE TREATMENT OF INFECTED HANDS MEDBCRATS ORNA605well as in man-hours. Even better results would be obtainable if patients could be seen in the earlier stages of infection. Of the cases detailed in Table I, 65% needed immediate incision; in the three cases in Table II The penicillin-treated series comprised 7 cases of paronychia and pulp-space infection, with an average loss of 9.9 days' duty; 6 cases of tenosynovitis, with an average loss of 9.9 days (excluding Case 13, 7.4 days); and 4 cases of palmar-space infection, with an average loss of 17 days (excluding Case 16, 9.3 days). The average loss of duty in these 17 cases was 10.9 days. If the two unusual cases, Nos. 13 and 16, are excluded, the final average is reduced to 8.9 days-a saving of 56% compared with the non-penicillin series.On the basis of these results it is suggested that the administration of penicillin in all severe infections of the hand, both in the early stages and after any necessary surgical intervention, should be adopted as a routine method of treatment.In practice a dosage of 125,000 units in oil or 300,000 units in aqueous solution twice daily has been found adequate.We are indebted to Mr. G. T. Mullally, Senior Surgeon, Westminster Hospital, whose enthusiasm and interest made this experiment possible; to Prof. R. J. V. Pulvertaft, who made penicillin in beeswax-oil available at a time when supplies were limited; and to the nursing staff of the surgery for their co-operation in carrying out treatment.
