Anti-inflammatory effects of antimicrobial agents: an in vivo study.

Antimicrobials are used emperically in a variety of inflammatory dermatoses such as rosacea and dermatitis herpetiformis, although these diseases are not believed to be of bacterial etiology. We have used potassium iodide ointment to induce follicular pustules and have found in this in vivo model properties of antimicrobials not related to their antibacterial actions. Topical demethylchlortetracycline and erythromycin (5%) lead to suppression of KI-induced inflammation (erythema, pustules) and systemic use of these drugs as well as diaminodiphenylsulfone produces the same effect.

[Chronic percutaneous salicylic acid poisoning].

The uncontrolled, long-term (18 months), widespread (almost 3/4 total body skin surface), application of a concentrated (10%) salicylic acid ointment in a 62 year old psoriatic female led to chronic percutaneous salicylism. Salicylic acid levels in the urine (200 mg %) and serum (223 mg %), the highest values ever recorded in this type of intoxication, contrasted with the discrete clinical picture. The acute and chronic percutaneous salicylism is discussed with a review of the literature. It is warned against the uncontrolled use of topicals containing salicylic acid.

Nevoid follicular epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.

Comedo-like follicular papules of hair-follicles, confined to the left side of the upper part of the body, were found in a 22-year-old woman. Histological features were of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis with involvement of the follicular epithelium and the sebaceous duct with compact hyperkeratosis, but almost no interfollicular epidermal alterations were found. Because of the nevoid distribution, the prominent follicular plugging, and epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, we describe this condition as nevoid follicular epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.
