摘要:

Three women and five men with chronic biological false-positive seroreactions for syphilis and circulating anticoagulants exhibited a vascular syndrome consisting of recurrent deep venous thrombosis of the extremities and necrotizing purpura with painful superficial starlike ulcers around the ankles. The skin biopsies revealed a unique picture of massive proliferation of hemorrhagic dermal capillaries without a significant inflammatory reaction. Some virus infection may function as a trigger of this peripheral vascular syndrome, because 6 of the 8 patients had a preceding pneumonia with pleural effusion. Considering that the three women had clinical and laboratory evidence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) this syndrome may be related to SLE.

摘要:

19 patients with plaque-style mycosis fungoides have undergone determination of HLA antigen distribution. Deviations from the expected distribution frequency occurred with the antigens of the W19 group comprising A29, W30, W31 and W32 and of B8 and Al. The W19 group deviation was statistically significant (χ2 = 9.7 p value < 0.005). The significance of this observation in relation to reported immunological abnormalities in mycosis fungoides is discussed

摘要:

Cases of cutaneous amyloidosis which exhibit poikiloderma-like skin changes are extremely rare. There are at least two clinical forms of poikiloderma-like cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA): (1) the ordinary type, and (2) PCA syndrome. The PCA syndrome includes poikilodermatous skin manifestations which may appear early in life and lichenoid papules, both with cutaneous amyloid deposits, frequently associated with light sensitivity and short stature, occasionally with palmoplantar keratosis and blister formation. We carried out an examination of a 5-year-old girl who was compatible with the syndrome.

摘要:

Analysis of 162 psoriasis patients revealed a distinct male preponderance with a sex ratio of 2.5:1. The mean age of males (31.44) was 6 years higher than that of females (25.73). More than half the patients were in their 3rd to 4th decade and the mean age of onset was lower among the females than the males by approximately 5 years. Two-thirds had onset before the age of 30 years. Familial occurrence was recorded in 13.6% of the cases. Itching appeared to be a prominent feature and only a fourth of the total patients showed traditionally quoted worsening in colder months. The scalp and the extremities were the commonest sites of involvement and a large majority (74%) showed nail changes of one type or another. Psoriatic arthropathy and especially mutilating arthritis were rare.

摘要:

The analysis of host defenses in 4 patients with staphylococcal toxic epidermal necrolysis revealed normal serum immunoglobulin levels, but a deficiency in cell-mediated immunity as detected by the tuberculin reactions. We suspected that the transient deficiency of cell-mediated immunity may have contributed to the development of this disease.
