Neonatal and childhood purpura fulminans: review of seven cases.

The cases of seven patients between the ages of seven days and three years with purpura fulminans have been reviewed. Causative agents in these new-borns were Escherichia coli, Enterobacter, and Staphylococcus; in older children they were varicella and E. coli. The clinical findings, medical and surgical interventions, and outcomes of the cases are presented here.

Bezoars--analysis of seven cases.

From 1979 to 1986 seven patients were studied in whom bezoars had been diagnosed. The history of five patients revealed that they had eaten a fruit called prunus lauricerasus, grown in the east Black Sea region. This is quite different from persimmons which are well-known as an aetiological agent of phytobezoars. Trichobezoars were present in one case, and phytobezoars in five cases. In one case, trichophytobezoar was removed surgically from the stomach. Our five cases were operated on to treat small bowel obstruction. Surgery was performed in all our cases and prunus lauricerasus should be kept in mind as an aetiological factor besides persimmons.

Penile agenesis--a case report.

A case of penile agenesis is presented. Psychological and surgical problems encountered in such cases are emphasised. We feel justified in reporting this case due to its rare occurrence and presence of only about 40 reported cases in the literature.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis after the use of high-dose cytosine arabinoside.

We report a fatal case of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) resulting from a high dose of cytosine arabinoside (ARA-C). A 13-year-old girl with acute lymphocytic leukemia was treated according to the protocol of the BFM Group (BFM-95, HRG). On the fifth day after administration of a high dose of ARA-C (2 g/m2 intravenously every 12 hours), she developed bullous lesions on the hands and soles that disseminated, evolving to necrosis, sepsis, and death on the 22nd day. ARA-C is frequently associated with dermatologic toxicity, but this is only the second case of toxic epidermal necrolysis described in connection with this drug.
