Reticuloendotheliosis

Histiocytosis X (Granulomatous Reticuloendotheliosis)

“…In the main, the pédi¬ atrie aspects have been well elaborated,3'4, 12,13,27,33,39 because it is in this age group that most clinical cases occur. The cutane-OUS7, 19,20,21,25,31,36,37^^1 0,14,10,18,22 an(J orificial8'34 aspects have been presented rather fully because of the fair frequency with which these systems are affected. The gynecologic,26 specific neural,28 and pulmo¬ nary 2'17'41 phase of histiocytosis X have been the subject of fewer communications, which indicates the rarity of organ damage in these areas in a disease uncommon in In Lichtenstein's integral concept22 of histiocytosis X, the allocation of different clinicopathologic variations or combinations, of which our case is one, becomes a reason¬ able procedure.…”

Systemic Aleukemic Reticuloendotheliosis (Letterer-Siwe Disease)

“…12 Wallgren's description 3e is most definitive-the cutaneous lesions at a cursory glance appeared to be seborrheic eczema . Although the lesions of Letterer-Siwe disease have generally been described as petechial or purpuric, it is of interest to note that lesions similar to and occasionally identical with those seen in our patients have been described in the literature.…”

Serological Investigations on Reticuloendotheliosis in Turkey Flocks

“…Natural reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) infection and disease have been recognized in turkey flocks in Israel (Ianconescu et al., 1979), the United Kingdom (McDougall et al., 1978) and the United State of America (Sarma et al., 1975; Solomon et al., 1976; Witter and Glass, 1984). In some turkey flocks REV is endemic (Witter, 1997). The extent of the economic losses in outbreaks has not been defined.…”

“…Pooling of sera is not recommended. Immunotolerant viraemic birds do not seroconvert; however, serological tests are useful tools to exclude viral exposure in a population (Witter, 1997).…”
