A case of an LDH-IgG complex formation which causes low plasma LDH activity and an abnormal LDH isozyme pattern was reported. A patient had pericarditis and myocardial hypertrophy of asymmetrical septal hypertrophy type. The same IgG was recognized in pericardial effusion. From a column chromatographic study, the molecular weight of LDH-IgG complex was estimated as being about 490,000. This complex was speculated as the IgG1-LDH2. The mechanism by which LDH-IgG is formed and the relationship between the complex itself and cardiac diseases remain unknown.

During a 7 year-period 9 children (7 boys, 2 girls) with juvenile reactive arthritis (JReA) due to Salmonella enteritidis (Se) were prospectively studied because of an unusual type of onset and/or course of the disease. The mean duration of JReA activity was 9 +/- 3.6 months. The mean follow-up time was 55.2 +/- 17.4 months. JReA presented as any of the three types of juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA), namely, as asymmetrical oligoarthritis, polyarthritis, or systemic JCA in 5, 2, and 2 patients respectively. Two patients had pericarditis and three developed the complete or incomplete Reiter's syndrome during the disease or during a recurrence. Five patients carried the HLA-B27 and 3/5 developed psoriatic lesions 1 to 15 months after the onset of JReA. The presence of HLA-B27 and psoriasis was associated with a more prolonged course of JReA. However, no patient developed late radiological lesions or sacroiliitis during follow-up.

Early repolarization (ER) is an enigma. The purpose of this review is to reemphasize the overall electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of this normal ST variant which continues to challenge the clinician because of its similarity to the current of injury potential to myocardium or an acute pericarditis. The data were provided from the studies identified through computerized searches of Medline, Toxline, Oxford, Agricola, and Bios Afterdark, Cumulative index, and a review of bibliographies of relevant articles on the related subjects. Early repolarization has elevated, upward, concave ST segments, located commonly in precordial leads, with reciprocal depression in a VR, tall, peaked and slightly asymmetrical T waves with notch, and slur on the R wave. The other accompanying features in the ECG are vertical axis, shorter and depressed P-R interval, abrupt transition, counterclockwise rotation, presence of U waves, and sinus bradycardia. Males dominate and patients are often younger than 50 years of age. The incidence of 1 to 2% is found equally common in all races. Degree and incidence of ST elevation decrease as age advances. Exercise or isoproterenol administration may normalize the ST segment. Early repolarization is a benign condition. If the ECG conforms to a classical pattern of ER on serial ECGs, it would exclude the unnecessary hazards of present day revascularization therapy for myocardial infarction such as primary angioplasty or thrombolytic therapy, or aggressive management of acute pericarditis, and so forth. This review concludes with a discussion of comparative ECG features of ER, pericarditis, and myocardial infarction, and provides an algorithm for diagnostic management of patients suffering from these conditions.
