[Mercury contact dermatitis].

Eight female patients with contact allergy to Mercury were studied with the L. T. T. and the Histamine degranulation test of basophiles. In the eight cases the L. T. T. was specific. P. H. A. (an inspecific lymphocyte stimulator lectin) and the Histamine degranulation basophile test, were used as controls. Thirty subjects were used as controls. All of them were negative to the patch test with mercury at 0,5% in petrolatum. No atopic antecedents were among them and their families. No once case of lymphocyte activity to mercury was observed. Mercury acetate solutions at: 12,5 ng/ml. 25 ng/ml and 5 ng/ml were employed. This salt was the unique useful for the L. T. T. practice. Extremely difficulties for the solubilization of mercury bichloride, mercury oxide, phenyl mercury and ammoniated mercury, impaired the L. T. T. with these salts.

[Sensitization to metals in children].

Patch tests with Nickel sulphate, cobalt chloride, bichromate and mercury, were performed in 100 randomized children. Twenty children reacted with allergic positive responses 11 were positive to mercury. Nine to Nickel sulphate. The youngest was a girl of eight months of age, allergic to nickel sulphate and suffering contact dermatitis in the ear lobes, produced by the ear rings that she had brought from her first week of life. Mercury has been the strongest metal in the infancy examined. Biggest incidence of responses are in kids between six and eight years old.

Pseudomonas folliculitis.

Thirty-three patients were shown to have gram-negative folliculitis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In nine women the eruption was mild and self-limited, occurring after depilation of the legs. The remaining twenty-four patients had recurrent papular skin rashes that were resistant to therapy and lasted between three months and three years. Circumstantial evidence implicated the hospital environment as the probable source of infection.

Ethylene oxide dermatitis.

A case of contact dermatitis produced on the face of patient after the application of an oxygen mask is described. This paper includes the results of epicutaneous tests, the identification of the possible etiological agent and chromatographic analysis of the samples sterilized by ethylene oxide.

[Dermatitis caused by ethylene oxide].

A patient with a suspected allergic contact dermatitis produced by ethylene oxide (EO), is described. Epicutaneous tests in the patient and in controls with materials treated with ethylene oxide, and ethylene chlorhydrin supported the allergic mechanism. Chromatography studies of different hospital samples sterilized with EO showed strong evidence of abnormal amounts of irritant substances.

The use of levamisole in atopic dermatitis: a prospective study.

Levamisole hydrochloride, a nonspecific immunostimulant, was given to 30 children with atopic dermatitis (AD) in a double-blind manner during an eight-month period. Clinical course findings, including intradermal reactions to tuberculin, candidin, and streptokinase-streptodernase; sensitization to dinitrochlorobenzene; periphal blood T- and B-lymphocytes; in vitro lymphocyte transformation with phytohemagglutinin; and serum levels of IgM, IgG, IgA, and IgE, were noted every two months. Fifteen children completed the study. Neither the clinical course nor the immunologic values showed substantial differences between the levamisole-treated and the placebo group. Our experience with levamisole in AD is disappointing.

[Therapy with transfer factor in a case of recidivating herpes with polymorphous erythema].

A young woman had recidivating herpes with erythema multiforme for several years. When conventional therapy failed to correct this condition she was treated with Transfer Factor (TF). Immunologic anomalies which had been registered previously became normal after the first application of TF. The skin lesions disappeared after the fourth dose. Six months later a new skin manifestation with immunologic alterations became apparent. They disappeared after two doses of TF. A year and a half later the patient has no lesions and the immunologic parameters, which were monitored throughout this period, are normal.

[Chronic urticaria and serum iron].

During the year 1974, 111 patients with urticaria were studied in the Department of Dermatology, of the Saint Paul's Hospital (Autonomous University of Barcelona). Among those, 77 had chronic urticaria, of which 22 a had low blood iron values. After iron treatment the urticaria improved or was cured in some of these patients. The remaining cases in which the cause of their hives was unknown were followed for one year. Some systemic causatives for their urticaria may appear on longer follow-up. At the same time, blood levels of salicylates trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin were checked in 14 patients, with the object of a possible relationship concerning the persistence of the urticaria.
