A multi-centre, randomized, open-label trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of recombinant interferon (rIFN) alpha-2c versus rIFN gamma in patients with recurrent or persistent condylomata acuminata (CA). Thirty-three such patients were treated either with 6 micrograms rIFN alpha-2c or with 0.1 mg rIFN gamma (both equivalent to 2 x 10E6 IU), single dose, subcutaneously 3 times a week for 6 weeks. In case of no complete clearance at week 10, a second course of treatment with the other type of rIFN was given. There was no significant difference in the complete clearance proportions at week 10 between the two treatment groups (3/16 vs 6/17). No relapses occurred in these patients during the 16 weeks' follow-up. Further clearances during the follow-up resulted in a total complete clearance proportion of 14/33 at the end of study. The treatment was well tolerated. Repeated interferon therapy has its place in treating persistent or recurrent condylomas.

Spinal cord toxoplasmosis occurs rarely in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It usually presents as a space occupying lesion which makes differentiation from a neoplasm difficult. As a result, only 2 of the 5 previously reported cases have been diagnosed antemortem. We have incorporated the clinical details from one further case to describe the clinical features of this condition. The clarification of this clinical entity may allow earlier diagnosis of this rare condition in the future.

A retrospective analysis of the results of bacteriological examination of all urine samples from adult HIV infected patients admitted to the City Hospital, Edinburgh during the year 1 April 1988 to 31 March 1989 was made to assess the usefulness of this investigation in HIV positive patients without clinical evidence of urinary tract infection.

Serum samples taken at delivery from 27 syphilitic mothers in Mozambique, 16 with stillborn babies and 11 with healthy babies, were tested for the presence of IgM antibodies against T. pallidum by the solid-phase hemadsorption assay (SPHA). 14 of 16 serum samples from mothers with stillborn babies but only 1 of 11 samples from mothers with healthy babies were found positive by the SPHA test. Clinical signs indicative of syphilis are difficult to find in the Maputo area, as there were more than 40,000 annual births and only 5 obstetricians when the study was conducted. It is believed that the findings may indicate that those mothers who were serologically positive with the SPHA test had clinically active syphilis and that syphilis may have been the cause or a contributory factor in the death of 14 of the stillborn babies. The SPHA test was easy to perform and the authors recommend its adoption by laboratories with facilities to perform the TPHA test.
