✦ Synopsis

Case presentation: A. H. was born of Moslem Arab parents in 1962. Her infancy and early childhood were unremarkable.

Her illness started in January 1966 with recurrent bouts of abdominal pain and vomiting. It was initially ascribed to intestinal parasites and she received a vermifuge. In mid-February a rather severe attack was diagnosed as appendicitis, but it subsided before laparotomy. The attacks increased in severity, and she started losing weight and running a low-grade fever. She was admitted to the Surgical Department of Augusta Victoria Hospital for observation. She had no lymph gland enlargement, nor splenomegaly. Her hemoglobin value was 11 g, WBC 13,000
