Enough has been learned about the peculiar arthropathy associated with calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition over the past decade to justify holding a symposium. Reasonable data relating to the prevalence of the condition and to its multifaceted clinical presentations, radiologic
arthritis and arthralgia cannot be made from the available data. In addition, the fact that no anti-collagen antibodies could be measured in this patient suggests that the chance that a serum sickness reaction ensued is extremely remote. The additional fact that there was no inflammatory response at
We measured the intracellular pyrophosphate level of platelets from patients with calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease. Total and secretory granule pyrophosphates were in the same range in patients with chondrocalcinosis and in normal volunteers. Therefore, not all cells share in the e
