RESUMO
Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) dye test, Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) contact sensitization reaction, and purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test were carried out in a group of 80 women. The results showed a significant depression in all the three tests in cases who were anemic.

Considerable variation was observed in immunoglobulins, estimated in 75 preschool children. The mean +/- 1 SD levels of IgG, IgM and IgA were found to be 1241 mgs% +/- 366, 149 mgs% +/- 48,231 mgs% +/- 99 respectively. A significant correlation of serum albumin was found with transferin and hemoglobin, but none existed between hemoglobin and transferin.

PIP: The experimental group in this study at the Family Planning Clinic, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre in Karachi, Pakistan consisted of 23 women who had been taking Ovral-28 (oral, .5 mg norgestrel, .05 mg ethinyl estradiol) and 27 women who had been receiving Depoprovera (intramuscular injection every 6 months of 300 mg Medroxy Progesterone Acetate). The 26 controls were clinic newcomers seeking contraceptive advice. Venous blood was obtained from each subject, and estimates were made of total cholesterol, triglycerides, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, euglobulin clot lysis time, and plasma fibrinogen. The women were grouped according to therapy and its length (less than 3 months, 4 months-1 year, and more than 1 year). No significant differences were shown through most of the tests. Except for the women who had received Depoprovera for 4 months-1 year, plasma fibrinogen was significantly elevated (p less than .05) in all treated women. The euglobuli CLOTS LYSIS TIME WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER (P .01) IN WOMEN ON Ovral-28 for 4 months-1 year. It had been suggested that the high prevalence of anemia in Pakistani women protects them against thrombotic complications. On the other hand, most treated subjects in this study were nonanemic, while their lipids had no significant increase.^ieng
