Mycetoma in Saudi Arabia.

The clinical and microbiological features of 31 cases of mycetoma seen in 8 years at a Riyadh hospital are described. Eighteen were due to Streptomyces somaliensis, 10 to Madurella mycetomatis and one each to Actinomadura madurae, Nocardia asteroides, and an unidentified species of Cladosporium. No immune defects were detected in the patients. Eleven had osteolytic lesions and 17 required surgery. Only seven patients were cured. Streptomyces infections were seen from all parts of Saudi Arabia outside the Rub Al Khali, but Madurella occurred mostly in highland regions where rainfall is higher.

Topical clindamycin versus systemic tetracycline in the treatment of acne. Results of a multiclinic trial.

In a multiclinic double-blind trial, 305 patients with moderate to severe acne vulgaris were treated with oral tetracycline hydrochloride, 250 mg (N: 103), a 1% solution of clindamycin phosphate (N: 105), or placebo (N: 97) twice daily for 8 weeks. The response to treatment was evaluated by lesion counts and overall clinical improvement at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Both topical clindamycin and oral tetracycline significantly reduced papule and pustule counts compared to placebo; they were rated significantly higher than placebo on the physician's and the patient's overall evaluation at the end of the treatment period. No serious side effects were reported with any of the study medications.

Painful pigmented prosthesis pressure papules.

Two patients who presented with tender hyperkeratotic papules involving their weight-bear.ing amputation stumps were studied. Although these clinical findings are common in the experience of prosthetists, the author has been unable to find any documentation of these findings in the literature. All attempts at relining and reshaping the cups of the original offending prostheses by experienced prosthetists were unsuccessful. The eruption cleared only after entirely new prostheses were designed. It would appear that this condition is due to a poorly fitting prosthesis.

Perioral dermatitis: etiology and treatment.

Ninety-five patients with perioral dermatitis were studied from an epidemiological aspect. Consistent clearing of the eruption was obtained with oral tetracycline in combination with a topical sodium sulfacetamide-sulfur-hydro-cortisone lotion. Comparison of the study group of patients to a group of 50 control patients revealed highly significant quantitative differences in the cosmetic preparations used by the two groups. This latter finding would suggest that lubricating and moisturizing products play some part in the etiology of perioral dermatitis.

The tunnel graft procedure for attachment of a hairpiece.

A new procedure for attaching a hairpiece to the scalp is described. Two skin-lined tunnels in the anterior and posterior scalp are built, using a strip of free full-thickness donor skin fron the postauricular area. Silicone-coated metal clips, suitably fashioned from .062'' Kirschner's wire, are then attached to the hairpiece. The metal clips are inserted into the skin-lined tunnels and thereby anchor the hairpiece to the scalp.

Complications of the tunnel-graft procedure for attachment of a hairpiece: a review of 100 cases.

The office procedure of creating tunnel grafts for attachment of hairpieces is not without complications. Early complications such as a hematoma under a graft, bacterial infection, and maceration of the epithelium lining the tunnels tended to be acute, but minor. Late complications, such as cutting in of the clips into the roofs of tunnels or stretching of the tunnel-graft roof, were mainly of a mechanical nature. Recommendations for reducing the indicence of such complications are made.
