Between 15 October and 23 December 1975, a total of 22 cases of infectious hepatitis were reported from an upper class private school in the suburbs of Tehran. Careful examination revealed that one of the early cases had transmitted the disease to other children in the school during the last days of the incubation period.

The effect of a combination of Oxantel- Pyrantel with a single dose of 10 mg/ kg body weight on Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris, Trichostrongylus spp. and Ancylostoma duodenale has been evaluated among the population of two rural areas in Khuzestan, Southwest Iran (41 persons) and Isfahan, Central (30 persons). All patients were infected with Trichuris trichiura and some simultaneously with one or more other helminthes. In addition to stool examinations, to elucidate the possible side- effects, several blood and urine tests were conducted before and after treatment. A cure rate of 83% has been found among Trichuris cases treated in both areas. Cure rates observes for ascariasis and trichostrongyliasis were 93. 3% and 23% in Khuzestan, as well as 90% and 50% in Isfahan, respectively. Cure rate for ancylostomiasis was 86% in Khuzestan.Significant reduction in the mean number of egg.gr of faeces has been observed.Side- effects encountered were mild and transient. The promisisng effect of this drug on soil – transmitted helminthes, particulary Trichuris trichiura has been proven.

Serum total fatty acids were estimated in controls and women using the oral contraceptives Eugynon (containing 0.5 mg.of norgestron and 0.05 mg ethinyl oestradiol) and Lyndiol (containing 2.5 mg. of linostrol and 0.05 mg of ethiny oestradiol) for periods ranging from 8 to 110 weeks. The serum total fatty acids level was found to be approximately 70% higher in the women using oral contraceptives, the difference being predominantly in the myristic and palmitoleic acid contents respectively. No significant difference was seen between the effect of Eugynon and Lyndiol usage upon blood fatty acids.

Serum fatty acids on 30 healthy lranian women were detemined by a gas chromatographic method. Oleic and stearic acids were used as standards. The mean values were myristic acid 5. 7% , palmitic acid 43% , palmitoleic acid 5.3% , stearic acid 8% , oleic acid 21. 3% and linleic acid 16.4% of total fatty acid serum contents.
