Scabies masquerading as Letterer-Siwe's disease.

Letterer-Siwe's disease was diagnosed from clinical appearance and initial assessment of a skin biopsy in a child with a 2-month history of skin rash. Fine erythematous papules were scattered on the trunk. The biopsy showed epidermal thickening and an inflammatory infiltrate chiefly in the upper layers of the dermis; deeper in the dermis the infiltrate was perivascular and periappendicular, histiocytes predominating in some areas and lymphocytes in others. A diagnosis of scabies was made after burrows were demonstrated on palms and soles and the mite of scabies was isolated from them.

A retrospective study of dermatophyte infection in Newfoundland for the period 1962-1968.

The results of a survey of dermatophyte infection in New-foundland for the period 1962 to 1968 are presented. A steady annual rise in the number of specimen submissions is noted, with positive findings in an average of 21.7%. The contribution by source of specimens is recorded, and species distribution indicates that Microsporum canis has behaved in epidemic form whereas other species appear endemic. Trichophyton rubrum infection shows a steady annual increase. No cases of favus have been noted. The distribution of species by anatomical site is indicated.

Workers' compensation for skin disease.

The concept of workers' compensation is not new; in fact, ancient sources make reference to it. Following an historical overview of compensation systems, the author discusses the compensation plans now in effect in the United States, Canada, and other countries. The physician's role also is described, with an emphasis on how to assess an impairment and write the report.
