Chromoblastomycosis↗

[African histoplasmosis].

This is a case report of two patients who suffered from African histoplasmosis. Clinical, histological, and mycological characteristics, and the treatment are described.

Adult↗

[Intracutaneous tests with phytohemagglutinin for detection of cell-mediated immunity (author's transl)].

Patients with various forms of dermatosis and healthy control subjects were simultaneously tested intracutaneously with specific antigens (candidin, trichophytin, kabikinase, tuberculin and the mumps skin test antigen) and the non-specificmitogen PHA-P. A positive delayed reaction was observed in 98% of the healthy subjects and 76,6% of the dermatosis patients following intracutaneous application of 2 microgram PHA-P.--The results of these studies suggest that the PHA-P intracutaneous test might be suitable as a screening method for diagnozing cellular immun-defects.

Adult↗

[Sézary syndrome. A case report].

This paper describes a patient who exhibits all signs of Sézary-syndrome. During the 15 years of sickness, the patient has developed a generalised erythrodermia, skin infiltrations, hyperkeratosis on the palms and the foot soles, changes in pigmentation, and generalised swelling of the lymph nodes. Two modifications of Sézary's cells have been found in the peripheral blood and the specific skin infiltrations by both light and electron microscopy. The serum contains large amounts of a macrophage migration inhibitory factor. The illness does not respond to chemotherapy.

[Mycological studies of patients with hemoblastoses].

40 patients with haemoblastosis were examined clinically and by cultures for presence of yeast mycosis. Moreover, we analyzed specific antibodies with the help of cell agglutination, the passive haemagglutination and the precipitation using Candida antigen. 29 test persons were found having a yeast mycosis, 3 patients without clinical symptoms in pharynx showed presence of yeasts by culture, 8 test persons were clinically and mycologically negative. In cell agglutination we recorded titres of less than 1:20 to 1:5 160 and in haemagglutination titres of less than 1:20 to 1:5 160 and in haemagglutination such of less than 1:20 to 1:320. 5 patients showed positive precipitation reaction with antigen extracted of membranes of Candida albicans cells. We observed different titre motions with these patients: during illness the titre either rised or decreased clearly, or the patients were in a condition of humoral anergy against the Candida albicans antigen. It is hinted at the necessity to watch over susceptible patients mycologically.

Acute Disease↗

[Therapeutic experience with 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline].

This paper reports on the clinical trials of an antimycoticum using 5-chlorine-8-hydroxychinolin as an antimycotic agent. 142 patients with surface dermatomycoses were treated locally with the preparation for 5 to 6 weeks. Clinical and mycological healing was achieved in 68% of the cases. The results of the treatment, the epicutaneous tests and the additional UV exposition are discussed. The best results of treatment were obtained in the case of superficial dermatomycoses, in particular Trichophytia inguinalis.
