摘要:

SUMMARYUsing a standardized method for sampling, the aerobic microbial flora of the skin of ninety‐five children in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, was studied qualitatively and quantitatively. The subjects comprised three groups; group A, thirty‐seven normal infants (below the age of 1 year); group B, twenty‐nine infants with various bacterial skin lesions; and group C, twenty‐nine nursery school children between 4‐5 and 7 years.The following observations were made:(1) The quantitative results indicated; (a) great variation between individuals, which was more marked among the females; (b) lower bacterial counts in infants than in older children; (c) counts were not affected by the presence of infection or state of cleanliness; (d) there were some differences between females and males and between different ethnic groups.(2) Qualitatively, the types of organisms isolated were similar to those reported elsewhere. There were differences in carrier rates of many organisms but these were most striking withStaphylococcus aureusandStaph. albus.It is concluded that there are great differences in carrier rates between persons in a tropical African environment and those studied elsewhere. These differences may be due to environmental, geographical or ethnic factors. Such observations call for more studies in this area to establish the nor

摘要:

SUMMARYIn an attempt to avoid the side‐effects of treating solar keratoses with 5% 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) ointment, a new pharmacological varnish containing 5% 5‐FU and 5‐10% salicylic acid in collodium was tried. Twenty patients with such lesions were treated. A drop of the varnish was applied on each lesion every 3 weeks. Only one to five applications on facial lesions were necessary to obtain apparent cure in all patients. Lesions reappeared in four patients, but were cured after a second and similar treatment. The keratoses of the hands were more resistant and needed seven applications in one patient and nine in

摘要:

SUMMARYA double‐blind study was carried out to compare the action of a 5‐fluorouracil and 10% salicylic acid varnish with that of a 10% salicylic acid varnish on common warts. Fifty per cent of the lesions disappeared with the combined preparation and only 4% with the varnish containing salicylic acid alone.The presence of warts on the hands of 45.8% of the female workers of a fowl slaughterhouse is descri

摘要:

SUMMARYSeveral anti‐DNA agents have been tested for their value in the treatment of warts in humans. A pilot study was carried out on patients with warts resistant to other forms of treatment. The agents used were hydroxyurea, idoxuridine and photodynamic inactivation. Idoxuridine 20% in a cream base appears to offer some possibilities as a treatment when other measures have faile
