摘要:

SummaryKawasaki syndrome is an acute multisystem inflammatory disease of young children first described by Tomasaku Kawasaki in the Japanese literature in 19671He reported 50 cases of this entity under the rubric of acute febrile mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, a designation that has more recently been superseded by the eponym Kawasaki syndrome. The disorder was further delineated and brought to the attention of American pediatricians in 19742. Recognition of the syndrome followed rapidly, and Melish, Hicks and Larson published the first series of American cases from Hawaii in 19763. Subsequently, Kawasaki syndrome has been documented worldwide. Although the disorder is known to be a systemic vasculitis with predilection for the coronary arteries, the etiology has remained obscure despite intense investigative efforts.

摘要:

SummaryTwo patients developed halo eczema around isolated seborrhoeic keratoses and in one individual similar halo eczema developed around the nipples. This phenomenon which was previously described with melanocytic naevi has been associated with a number of different central lesions and can be readily recognised. Both the clinical pattern and histopathology suggest that this phenomenon may represent a localised form of nummular dermatitis with a predilection for elevated lesions.

摘要:

SummaryHistological examination of 1101 melanomas (990 superficial spreading and HI nodular melanomas) from 1098 people revealed that 23.3% showed an associated melanocytic naevus. Of these, 56.5% were classified histologically as common acquired, 37.7% as dysplastic and 5.8% as congenital. Of the superficial spreading melanomas, 25.7% showed an associated naevus. By contrast, only 2.7% of nodular melanomas showed histological evidence of a coexisting naevus.When the superficial spreading melanomas were analysed by level, the presence of a naevus varied from 31.3% of level I melanomas to 21.3% of level IV melanomas. When thickness was measured, an associated naevus was found in 27.0% of superficial spreading melanomas less than 1.0mm thick, and 14.8% of melanomas with a thickness of 1.0mm or greater.These data suggest that most melanomas do not arise in pre‐existing naevi, and accordingly public educational programs for the early detection of melanoma should focus on looking for changes in previously normal skin as well as in pre‐existing mo

摘要:

SummaryLiaison with support personnel is important in the management of workers with occupational skin disease (OSD). This study shows that there are many areas of concern regarding the knowledge and understanding of OSD in these groups. There needs to be a comprehensive education programme concerning OSD within the working community and support personnel. Dermatologists need to simplify their “language” in the reporting of OSD. Insurers need to take a more sympathetic attitude towards the partially fit worker. Rehabilitation personnel must become more familiar with

摘要:

SummaryA striking cutaneous eruption developed in a fifty‐eight year old woman with bipolar affective disorder three weeks after starting carbamazepine therapy. She had an infectious mononucleosis‐like systemic illness associated with myriads of cutaneous micropustules, erythroderma and a high eosinophil count. A similar eruption due to carbamazepine has been reported only twice before, but isolated cases ascribed to other medications exist. We believe that this reaction is a specific class of drug eruption best named Toxic Pustulode

摘要:

SummaryHaemorrhagic epidermal bullae developed in a patient with Darier's disease undergoing long term treatment with the retinoid, etretinate. We suggest that these lesions result from cumulative toxic effects of long term retinoid therapy upon the abnormal keratinocyte found in Darier's disease.
