Six patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and two patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, all with severe anemia entered the study. Before treatment reasons of secondary anemia were excluded. Concentration of erythropoietin, iron, transferrin, ferritin were measured before, and in the second and the third month of the trial. A r-HuEpo dosage of 80 U/kg was administered intravenously three times weekly for a minimum of three months. Four patients finished the study. The increase in hemoglobin concentration by 6 g% was observed in one patient with MDS subtype RA. In three other patients who apart from r-HuEpo received chemotherapy transfusion requirements decreased by 90%. Together with increase in hemoglobin decrease in ferritin was observed. The correlation between r-HuEpo and endogenous erythropoietin and ferritin was defined.

The authors describe a 9 year-old girl with homozygous deficiency of C2 component, causing null activity of the classical pathway of complement. The girl suffered from several recurrent infections since birth, later developed signs of the Henoch-Schönlein disease. At the age of 1 1/2 years she was hospitalized due-to bacterial meningitis, most probably of Neisseria meningitis etiology.

A case of ileocolic intussusception in a 22-year female patient with ileocecal valve inflammatory process in presented. An absence of the acute gastrointestinal obstruction symptoms has been due to the inflammatory infiltration to the front of intussusception. Diagnostic problems in case of the intestinal intussusceptions in adults caused by non-characteristic clinical course have been emphasized.

A case of 18 year old patient with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is presented. Serious organ complications were observed in the course of the disease. Patient's death was a result of the massive gastrointestinal bleeding caused by gastric lymphoma, which was confirmed endoscopically and histopathologically. A possible role of EBV infection in the development of lymphomas is shortly discussed.
