Mixed lichen planus-lupus erythematosus disease.

Two patients are reported with clinical symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus associated with centrally ulcerated hypertrophic plaques and lip lesions. Histological findings from various sites were features of both lupus erythematosus and lichen planus. An increase in acid mucopolysaccharides and a thickened basement membrane which were present in some biopsies were interpreted as lupus erythematosus. The deposition of immunoglobulins and fibrinogen seemed to favor lupus erythematosus but these findings may also be seen in lichen planus. Four possible interpretations of the findings are discussed. The term "mixed lichen planus--lupus erythematosus disease" may be appropriate for these patients.

Bullous pemphigoid in childhood: report of three cases and a review of literature.

Three proven cases of bullous pemphigoid in childhood which responded to dapsone are reported. The clinical and immunological criteria for diagnosis were similar to those in the aged. This report emphasizes that the condition is a distinctive clinical entity and entirely different from dermatitis herpetiformis and benign chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood.

Pemphigus controlled by dapsone.

Three uncomplicated cases of pemphigus were clinically controlled by dapsone. Improvement was associated with decreasing titres of circulating intercellular antibodies. Interestingly, the sera from one case of pemphigus foliaceus contained intercellular antibodies found in the Malpighian and basal cell layers using the fluorescent technique and in the granular layer using the peroxidase technique. These findings suggest that the intercellular antibodies in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus are similar but bind at different anatomical sites.

Diffuse chronic granulomatous mucocutaneous candidiasis.

A 3-year-old Thai boy with diffuse chronic granulomatous mucocutaneous candidiasis, recurrent bacterial skin infection and adrenal insufficiency is reported. Candida albicans was demonstrated in the dermal granuloma. He had a defect in cell-mediated immunity and was anemic. Although therapy with topical clotrimazole, oral iron, systemic antibiotic and low-dose of prednisone gave a dramatic result, he died of disseminated cryptococcosis.
