Incidence of chancroid in Vienna from 1980 to 1988.
The authors report on a retrospective study of the occurrence of chancroid in the city of Vienna during the past 10 years. After identifying two patients at the authors' department with chancroid in March 1988, the authors investigated the frequency with which this disease presented during the last 10 years. Of 32 patients, six presented between 1977 and 1980, and one patient in 1987. The remaining 25 patients were diagnosed within a 4-month period in 1981, suggesting a limited outbreak. The source of this infection could be traced to Turkey; infected prostitutes contributed to further spread in Vienna. All patients were treated successfully with sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. Efficient control of this outbreak can be attributed to inpatient treatment of the prostitutes. Appropriate and timely treatment must be preceeded by careful and exact diagnosis of this disease whose clinical picture is constantly diverging from its classical form.

[The spectrum of Lyme borreliosis from the dermatologic viewpoint].
Erythema chronicum migrans, lymphadenosis benigna cutis and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans represent the dermatological manifestations of the multi-organ disease Lyme borreliosis. Koch's requirements of evidence for an infectious disease, demonstration of the bacterium, transfer, and culture have proven Borrelia burgdorferi to be the causative agent of the above mentioned skin diseases. This justifies a penicillin therapy, that has been administered in Europe empirically for the last 30 years. Correct and prompt diagnosis is important since delayed treatment is less effective, presumably because the spirochete becomes sequestered in immune-privileged sites. Recent observations in several laboratories that antibody titers to Borrelia burgdorferi are also elevated in several other skin diseases and that the spirochete can be detected in tissue sections of different organs may imply extension of the dermatological spectrum of Lyme disease. The significance of these findings in such heterogeneous diseases as morphea, lichen sclerosus et atrophicans, etc. however awaits final examination.
