Juvenile hemochromatosis (JH) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of iron metabolism, genetically heterogeneous. In JH, symptomatic organ involvement occurs as early as the second decade of life. Heart failure and/or arrhythmias are the most frequent causes of death. Phlebotomy is the safest, most effective, and most economic therapeutic approach in hemochromatosis patients but is not indicated...<br/><br/>Giovanna Fabio, Francesca Minonzio, Paola Delbini, Annamaria Bianchi, Maria Domenica Cappellini (2007) <i>Blood</i> <i></i> <i></i> 109: 1 362-364<br/>

Invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFR) is a life-threatening infection. Its onset is subtle and a late diagnosis leads to severe complications. Death may occur within a few weeks notwithstanding treatment. We describe a comprehensive pre- and post-operative approach to care for haematological patients with IFR. Five haematological patients with IFR were treated with systemic antifungal therapy and e...<br/><br/>Claudia Vener, Maria Carrabba, Nicola S Fracchiolla, Antonella Costa, Giovanna Fabio, Cinzia Hu, Clara Sina, Claudio Guastella, Lorenzo Pignataro, Giorgio Lambertenghi Deliliers (2007) <i>Leuk Lymphoma</i> <i></i> <i></i> 48: 8 1577-1586<br/>

This case report describes the previously-unreported clinical course of a patient with a so-called incomplete systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), i.e. symptoms related to one organ system only, together with the presence of ANA. He had an indolent course initially and developed, 6 months after the first symptoms, a severe disease with rapid appearance of major and unusual manifestations.

We studied HLA antigen distribution of 50 heterosexual partners of HIV+ drug abusers with more than 1 year of sexual exposure to HIV, 36 children born to seropositive mothers and 61 haemophiliac patients exposed to presumably infectious clotting factor concentrates. B52 and B44 antigens were associated with HIV resistance while B51 was associated with HIV susceptibility.

In this study we investigated whether the interindividual variability of lymphocyte sensitivity to cyclosporin A (CsA) could be controlled by the HLA region. The models used were the in vitro primary and secondary autologous (AMLR) and allogeneic mixed lymphocyte (MLR) cultures of cells from 32 healthy subjects from our HLA reference panel.

Thirty-one AIDS patients were typed for HLA A, B, C, and DR antigens. We confirmed that frequency of B35 is significantly higher in patients than in controls. No significant frequency differences in other HLA antigens were found.

Studying families of schizophrenic patients, we observed that the risk of developing the overt form of the illness could be enhanced by some factors. Among these various factors we focused our attention on a biological variable, namely the presence or the absence of particular HLA antigens: partitioning our schizophrenic patients according to their HLA structure (i.e. those with HLA-A1 or CRAG-A1 ...<br/><br/>E Smeraldi, F Macciardi, M Gasperini, A Orsini, L Bellodi, G Fabio, A Morabito (1986) <i>Clin Genet</i> <i></i> <i></i> 30: 3 157-166<br/>

We investigated HLA antigen and haplotype frequencies in 47 couples with primary recurrent abortions of unknown origin, in 65 fertile couples, and in a control panel of 98 males and 92 females. A significant increase of HLA-B17 was found in abortion couples in comparison with fertile couples.

Human T lymphocytes precultured for 36 hr in the presence of soluble HLA-DR antigens suppress the MLR response of autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes to allogeneic stimulating cells.
