[Treatment of solar urticaria: advantage of terfenadine].

Solar urticaria is a rare photodermatosis, but it is extremely incapacitating and therapy is usually ineffective. Three patients who took a daily dose of 240 mg terfenadine were able to be normally exposed to sunlight. This efficacy was confirmed by photobiological tests. The minimal dose necessary to induce urticaria was increased at least three times. These results confirming recently published ones. Terfenadine at 240 mg per day seems to be the treatment of choice for solar urticaria because of its efficacy and excellent tolerance-especially as there is no sedative effect.

[Psoriasis and HIV infection].

This study concerns 15 together H.I.V. positive and psoriatic patients. The existing relationship between psoriasis and H.I.V. infection associated in the same patient still remains quite unclear. However, some conclusions may be drawn from those studies devoted to the association psoriasis-H.I.V. infection. Psoriasis may be the first clinical manifestation and should draw attention on behalf of its possibly clinically atypical pattern, of its evolution and of its frequent unresponsiveness to treatment. It may lead to the discovery of an H.I.V. seropositivity. Immunosuppressive therapy (methotrexate, phototherapy...) should be avoided in such patients unless under specific circumstances.

[Skin manifestations in HIV infection].

In HIV-infections, skin manifestations are manifold and are conditioned mainly by the immunodeficiency. Kaposi's sarcoma, oral hairy leucoplakia and candidiasis of the esophagus are of diagnostic significance as same as a severe course of opportunistic infections e.g. herpes simplex, herpes zooster, cryptococcosis, dermatomycoses, verrucae vulgares, condylomata acuminata and others. Sometimes skin manifestations are the first perceivable sign of an HIV-infection.
