RESUMO
Intussusception is the commonest surgical complication of Henoch-Sch onlein purpura (HSP), occurring in 1.3%-13.6% of affected children. Colo-colic intussusception is a rare occurrence in HSP, with only three other reported cases. Intussusception in HSP almost always originates in the ileum (90%) or jejunum (7%), and more than one-half of cases (58.4%) are confined to the small bowel. This is in contrast to idiopathic intussusception, where the majority (80%-90%) are ileo-colic and can be diagnosed and reduced by contrast enema.

Thirty-nine strains of klebsiella isolated from ankylosing spondylitis patients were examined by the methods of Cowan & Steel (1974), those described by Edmondson et al. (1980) and by capsular typing. No significant difference was detected by any of these methods between these strains and those examined by other workers from non-ankylosing spondylitis patients and other environments.
