A study of serum fibrinolytic activity in erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL).

Fibrinolytic activity was studied in 31 patients of leprosy and 10 healthy controls. Fibrinolytic activity was found to be significantly decreased in patients with erythema nodosum leprosum, compared to those with uncomplicated lepromatous leprosy, who in turn showed lowered activity compared to patients with tuberculoid form of leprosy and controls. The severity of ENL correlated very well with decrease in fibrinolytic activity. Fibrinolytic activity was improved to levels obtained in uncomplicated lepromatous leprosy after the subsidence of reaction. So it would seem reasonable to suggest that estimation of fibrinolytic activity provides a reliable criteria to quantitate the severity of erythema nodosum leprosum.

Applicability of Ridley-Jopling scale in clinical practice.

27 cases (90%) out of 30 cases studied could be graded clinically exact points of the scale. Out of the rest of 3 cases (10%); 2 cases (6.6%) required in between points of the scale. 20 cases (66.66%) out of the 30 cases studied histologically could be graded at exact points of the scale. 3 cases (10%) required further histological subgrading. Final clinico-histopathological clubbing was possible in 66.66% of cases. Disparity was observed at BT and BL points and cent percent parity was obtained at polar ends. Patients presenting with macular or early infiltrative lesions at BT and BL points showed an indeterminate histology.

Oral zinc sulphate therapy in acne vulgaris: a double-blind trial.

The effect of zinc sulphate and placebo was compared in a double-blind trial in 56 patients suffering from acne vulgaris. Serum vitamin A levels were studied in all, before and at the end of therapy, 29 patients received zinc sulphate 600 mg daily and 27 patients received placebo. Patients on placebo showed no improvement. After 12 weeks of treatment with zinc sulphate, 17 patients (58%) showed significant improvement. There was a statistically significant decrease in the number of papules, infiltrates and cysts. In zinc-treated cases there was statistically significant increase in serum vitamin A levels, while no change was found in the placebo group.

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome.

Two cases of Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (PLS) in a family are reported. Association of recurrent infections, arachnodactyly, intracranial calcification and phalangeal abnormality have been observed. Because there is no history of consanguinity, and autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance is suggested.
