The natural killer (NK)‐interferon (IFN) system was investigated in patients with preleukaemic states. Endogenous NK cell activity was markedly reduced in all 12 patients studied. No significant correlation was observed between the activity of NK cells and the percentage of blast cells in the peripheral blood or bone marrow. The frequency of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) in lymphocytes of the peripheral blood was not reduced in most patients. The percentage of target binding cells in patients was essentially the same as that in normal controls, and the activity of NK cells from normal donors was not affected by the coexistence of mononuclear cells obtained from the peripheral blood of patients.

A 27-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was found to have acute acalculous cholecystitis. At the time of admission, the patient was not under corticosteroid or immunosuppressive therapy. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography revealed findings in the gall bladder consistent with acute acalculous cholecystitis. Her abdominal pain completely disappeared following corticosteroid therapy, with dramatic improvement in the images of CT and ultrasonography. Six similar cases of SLE complicated with acute acalculous cholecystitis have been reported in the literature and they were all treated surgically by cholecystectomy or cholecystostomy. This is the first case report in which acute acalculous cholecystitis accompanying SLE was treated successfully by corticosteroid without surgical intervention.
