[Demodex folliculorum: aetiopathogenesis and therapy of rosacea and perioral dermatitis (author's transl)].

In 16 out of 18 patients with rosacea, mites of the species, Demodex folliculorum were isolated in mostly great numbers from lesions of the facial skin. In patients with perioral dermatitis, the mite was demonstrated in 17 out of 29 patients. All patients, however, including those where no mites were found, could be completely cured by nightly application of hexachlorocyclohexane 0.25% (Jacutin). The average treatment time was 7 weeks for rosacea and 5 weeks for perioral dermatitis. 2 patients with rosacea and 4 patients with perioral dermatitis relapsed, but cleared again after treatment was repeated. The initial flare-up of the dermatitis, which is observed regularly after starting the Jacutin-therapy, is described. Quantitative aspects of Demodex infestation and its histopathological alterations are discussed in relation to present-day knowledge.

[Malignant histiocytosis with cutaneous involvement: enzymecytochemical and immunocytological studies (author's transl)].

Malignant histiocytosis with cutaneous involvement occurred in a 27-year-old man. There were generalized weakness, abdominal pain, lymphadenopathy, fever and firm, papulonodular cutaneous infiltrations. The tumour cells were identified as malignant histiocytes by specially adapted enzyme-cytochemical and immunocytological methods on cryostat sections and single-cell suspension from the cutaneous infiltrates. The malignant histiocytes are characterized by diffuse activity of esterases and acid phosphatase. In addition, tests in single-cell suspension make it possible to differentiate the cells further according to cytomorphological and enzyme-cytochemical criteria.
