Nimesulide-induced acute hepatitis.

Objective: To report the occurrence of nimesulide-induced acute hepatitis confirmed by biopsy and an in vitro lymphocyte toxicity assay.

Case Summary: A 54-year-old Arabic woman treated with nimesulide for chronic low back pain was admitted to the hospital with acute hepatitis confirmed by biopsy. Her liver function test results returned to normal within one month after nimesulide discontinuation.

T-cell subpopulation in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated by recombinant interleukin-2, recombinant interferon-alpha, 5-fluorouracil, and vinblastine.

T-cell subpopulations were evaluated in 10 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with recombinant interleukin-2, recombinant interferon-alpha, 5-fluorouracil, and vinblastine. T-cell subpopulation was tested by flow cytometry, and the results were compared with healthy control subjects. Mean T-cell values before treatment as compared with control were as follows: CD3, 68 vs.

Lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with multiple primary tumors.

Background: Cancer patients with single tumors live longer today due to earlier detection and improved treatment methods. For this reason, the authors see more patients who develop a second primary tumor. The etiology of the second tumor can be the same as the first, whether treatment-induced or unknown.
