Patterns of evolution of myocyte damage after human heart transplantation detected by indium-111 monoclonal antimyosin.

The indium-111 labeled Fab fragment of antimyosin monoclonal antibody was used to study cardiac rejection and the time course of myocyte damage after transplantation. Fifty-three studies were performed in 21 patients, 17 men and 4 women, aged 19 to 54 years (mean 37 +/- 8), from 7 to 40 months after transplantation. Repeat studies were available in 8, and 10 were studied after the first year of transplantation.

Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet's syndrome) associated with post-myocardial infarction syndrome (Dressler's syndrome).

A case of Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) occurred in a patient with post-myocardial infarction syndrome (Dressler's syndrome). Although Sweet's syndrome has been described in association with leukemias, other malignant disorders, and a variety of chronic inflammatory disorders, it has not been reported associated with Dressler's syndrome. Sweet's syndrome is reviewed with regard to its associations and to its pathogenesis.
