Ataxia telangiectasia (Louis-Bar syndrome) represents a disease of childhood, characterized by diffuse telangiectasia of the skin and the conjunctivae and cerebellar ataxia. Patients are frequently predisposed for infections due to disturbances of the cellular and humoral immunity. This paper discusses the syndrome referring to an own observation of ataxia telangiectasia and literature of the past.
A 33-year-old woman is described who suffers from an idiopathic loss of mid-dermal elastic tissue which leads to wrinkling of the skin and to discrete perifollicular protrusions. In accordance with Sheley & Wood (1977) we conclude that these findings represent a new entity for which we propose the term 'non-inflammatory dermal elastolysis'.

A reappraisal is attempted of the various forms of immunopathologically-mediated bullous disorders: pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid groups; herpes gestationis; and dermatitis herpetiformis. Particular regard is paid to recent developments in the field of immunopathology of the skin. The elaboration of delicate immunological parameters at the same time illustrates the usefulness of laboratory research and the application of these results to clinical dermatology.
