[Alpha chain disease. Report of a case (author's transl)].
A young patient, with alpha chain disease, is in good clinic condition, a little more than 4 years after the diagnosis. She received, during 1 year, antibiotics of tetracycline type, then antimitotics during 2 years. 9 months after antimitotics treatment was achieved, histologic signs remained unmodified, without evidence of degenerescence. Immunoelectrophoresis which was normal at the end of chemotherapy is always normal after 15 months without treatment.
