The minimal clinical reactivity reported in this trial confirms our previous experience with the vaccine. 13. The vaccine was shown to be highly immunogenic in healthy children between the ages of 1 and 14 years. Over 94 per cent of the vaccine recipients had detectable varicella antibody eight weeks after vaccination.
Peritoneal inclusion cysts occur almost exclusively in premenopausal women with active ovaries, pelvic adhesions, and impaired absorption of peritoneal fluid, which leads to formation of fluid-filled cysts that conform to the shape of the peritoneal cavity, and they may recur (1).
(See also Liver Structure and Function and Evaluation of the Patient with a Liver Disorder.) Ascites is free fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The most common cause is portal hypertension. Symptoms usually result from abdominal distention. Diagnosis is based on physical examination and often ultrasonography or CT. Treatments include bed rest, dietary sodium restriction, diuretics, and therapeutic paracentesis.
