'Milia en plaque' in the supraclavicular area.

'Milia en plaque' is an unusual skin disease. Up to date only 6 cases have been reported, and all of them were located in the retro-auricular area. We report herein the first case of milia en plaque developed in the supraclavicular area. The absence of a known aetiologic factor in contrast to the previously published cases suggests that the present case belongs to the group of primary milia.

[Cutaneous larva migrans, autochthonous in France. Apropos of a case].

INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous larva migrans is rarely contracted in temperate countries. CASE REPORT: When his house became flooded, he had to stand for a long period of time with mud up to the thigh. Some days later, he developed multiple erythematous, serpiginous pruritic tracts moving 1-2 cm per day over preexisting lesions of the right leg. Local and systemic treatment with thiabendazole led to rapid and definitive cure. DISCUSSION: Cutaneous larva migrans results from the migration of hookworm larvae in the dead-end human host. It is mainly an imported disease and native cases in Europe as reported here are rare. This case demonstrates that the conditions leading to the development of cutaneous larva migrans are rarely found simultaneously in temperate zones.

[Conjugal mycosis fungoides].

INTRODUCTION: The pathophysiology of mycosis fungoides remains uncertain but HTLV I or a similar virus could be involved. We observed a couple who developed mycosis fungoides suggesting the infectious hypothesis might indeed be valid. CASE REPORT: A 70-year-old man who had often travelled in foreign countries developed parapsoriasis en plaques, lymphomatoid papulosis and mycosis fungoides successively over a thirty year period. Several years after the first manifestation of mycosis fungoides, his wife also developed a single plaque of mycosis fungoides. The diagnosis was confirmed on pathology slides and immunohistochemistry tests as well as on the basis of T-receptor gene rearrangement in both patients. Search for HTLV I was negative using serology tests and PCR on circulating lymphocytes. COMMENTS: The epidemiological situation in our observation (several trips in foreign countries and the delayed development of mycosis fungoides in the wife) favours the hypothesis of an infectious mechanism. Search for HTLV I was unsuccessful with classical virology methods. Certain recent work suggests a virus similar but different from the HTLV I virus could be involved in the pathogenesis of mycosis fungoides.

[Impetigo herpetiformis and Ondine curse].

INTRODUCTION: Impetigo herpetiformis is a rare dermatitis that occurs during pregnancy and may be life threatening for both mother and child. In this case report, we present an Ondine curse involving the baby, and the good response to isotretinoine. CASE REPORT: A first pregnancy, 26 year-old woman developed at 8 months a widespread skin lesion involving the medial side of the thighs, abdomen and intertriginous areas, with a severe systemic toxic condition and fever. Diagnosis of impetigo herpetiformis was made and corticosteroids, methotrexate and cyclosporine were unsuccessful. Isotretinoine rapidly improved the patient with good control of the disease. The full term baby had an Ondine curse. DISCUSSION: Our case is typical of impetigo herpetiformis. Maternal and infant complication may be life threatening and we report a real Ondine curse the etiology of which remains unknown. Moreover, this observation is unusual because the lesions did not clear despite delivery and good treatment. In our opinion, the great improvement with isotretinoine would suggest it could be used as first line treatment.

[A parasitologic survey conducted in Touraine (France) in a group of South East Asia refugees (author's transl)].

Forty refugees (23 from 5 lao families and 17 from 3 cambodian families) previously and routinely treated against intestinal parasites, underwent stools and serum controls: 77 p. 100 had still intestinal parasites but 61 p. 100 had a normal blood cells count without hypereosinophilia. The parasites so detected were: Clonorchis sinensis, Heterophyes heterophyes, Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus, Strongyloides stercoralis, Giardia intestinals and Entamoeba coli.
