Dermatoses in geriatric patients.

Geriatric patients, though they may present many of the dermatological problems occurring throughout adult life, show a greater incidence of the degenerative skin changes consequent on sun exposure in the form of collagen degeneration, solar keratoses, keratoacanthoma and skin cancer. The benign, precancerous and malignant skin tumours, the various types of eczema, senile pruritus and certain other conditions will be discussed.

Plaque-type intertriginous cutaneous calcification.

Cutaneous calcification is classified into four types: dystrophic, idiopathic, tumoral, and metastatic. We present a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus undergoing hemodialysis who noted large plaque-like cutaneous calcifications in the axillae and groin. Some plaques occurred in association with striae related to prior corticosteroid therapy for the patient's underlying systemic disease. This case is unusual because of the clinical presentation, its demonstration of both dystrophic and metastatic types of calcification, and histologic calcification of elastic fibers simulating pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

[Bacterial skin infections in the dog (author's transl)].

The most common bacterial skin conditions in dogs are reviewed in the present paper. An introductory part on the pathogenesis of pyoderma and some universal morphological dermatological concepts is followed by a systematic study of superficial and deep forms of pyoderma. In addition to the bacterial diagnosis, the results of bacteriological examination of fifty-three dogs with pyoderma submitted to the University Clinic of small animal medicine are reported. Moreover, a guide to the institution of adequate therapy is suggested.

Topical tacrolimus for the treatment of psoriasis on the face, genitalia, intertriginous areas and corporal plaques.

Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive drug that has proved effective in the treatment of psoriasis when administered systemically. Topically, it seems only useful in thin psoriasis plaques located on the face, genitalia, and intertriginous areas. We present an open-label clinical trial to test the efficacy of 0.1% tacrolimus ointment in patients with psoriasis on the face, intertriginous areas, both, and in corporal plaques. Efficacy was assessed with the evaluation of erythema, desquamation, infiltration, reduction of the PASI, and reduction of itching. A total of 15 patients were enrolled in the study. In all the localizations evaluated, each of the signs (erythema, desquamation, and infiltration) showed a statistically significant improvement when compared to the baseline (p < .001). Itching also improved rapidly. PASI was also reduced from a mean of 12 at baseline to 2.2 at the end of the study. Of the 15 patients, only 2 experienced an adverse effect (13%), which was described as a warm sensation in facial lesions which was transient and self-limited. In conclusion, tacrolimus ointment may be an alternative to classical options for the treatment of psoriasis, not only for intertriginous, genital, and facial areas, but also for corporal plaques without occlusion, with good tolerance.

The prevalence of skin problems beneath the breasts of in-patients.

The prevalence of sore skin beneath the breasts has not been evaluated previously. One hundred and thirty-one wards in one district were visited, and 11.2% of all adult female patients either had an active lesion or one that had healed during her current admission. The patients tended to be in wards for the elderly or mentally ill, often suffering illnesses which affected their functional ability. It is estimated that approximately 2% of all senile admissions will develop this problem in the first six days.

Cutaneous candidiasis: treatment with miconazole nitrate.

In a well-controlled, double-blind, randomized study, 30 patients with cutaneous candidiasis were treated with a 2% miconazole nitrate lotion or its placebo control. By the 14th day, 13 of the 15 patients [87%] treated with miconazole nitrate achieved clinical and mycologic cures. Only a single patient treated with the placebo lotion would be classified as a therapeutic cure. In a second portion of the study those patients judged to be therapeutic failures were treated with the lotion containing 2% miconazole nitrate. By combining the results of both portions of the study we find that miconazole nitrate lotion produced both a clinical and mycologic cure in all patients receiving the active lotion. The miconazole lotion formula was well tolerated by all patients and no side effects were noted. The fact that miconazole nitrate acts rapidly in relieving symptoms, is well tolerated, and is highly effective against dermatophytes, yeasts and gram-positive bacteria, makes it a welcome addition to available topical therapy of skin infections.
