2129. Coexistence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. A case report.
In the present case there was coexistence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. The leukocyte count of 213,000/cu mm, being among the highest reported in association with Hodgkin's disease, is unusual. The patient was treated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia with an unfavorable response to triethylenemelamine, and short-lived response to mechlorethamine and prednisone. The autopsy confirmed the existence of Hodgkin's disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The coexistence of these two diseases does not imply that one is necessarily related to the other. In view of the continued controversy about the relationships of lymphoproliferative disorders to each other, this case should stimulate interest.
2130. Neisseria subflava as a cause of meningitis and septicemia in children. Report of five cases.
In five cases of meningitis or septicemia in children, the causative organism was Neisseria subflava. The organism is similar to N meningitidis. Only one previous case of meningitis caused by N subflava in a child has been found in the literature, but this organism may be more commonly pathogenic than has been thought. The clinical findings and course are not unlike those of septicemia and meningitis due to N meningitidis.
