[Difficulties in the treatment of scabies in infants].

The risks of incidents and accidents--especially systemic ones--complicating topical scabies treatment in infants are reviewed. After a short review concerning insecticides (sulphur, benzyl-benzoate, DDT, Lindane, Crotamiton) and the use of several drugs proposed for infants, the authors insist on the choice of the drug and the therapeutic protocol, that are as important as the drug itself. Directions for use should be strict, in order to avoid automedication and overdosage. There is no study concerning the comparative evaluation of risks and efficacy of each drug.

[Dye and nickel allergy in the hairdressing salon].

In 73 hairdressers, out of a total number of 3,300 patients, patchtests were performed using substances of a standard series. Patients of various professions excluding hairdressers and patients belonging to an age group comparable with that of hairdressers, served as two control-groups. In the group of hairdressers the most frequently seen positive reactions were against p-phenylendiamin, nickelsulfat, pellidol, cobaltchlorid, p-aminodiphenylamin, and perubalsam. The incidence of positive reactions against p-phenylendiamin and pellidol in this group was significantly higher than in the control group, whereas the higher incidence of nickelsulfat allergy in hairdressers proved not to be significant.

Haemophilus influenzae sepsis leading to pericarditis despite antimicrobial therapy.

Acute purulent pericarditis is a well-recognized, though infrequently seen, manifestation of systemic Haemophilus influenzae type b disease. We recently studied two pediatric patients who developed signs of this septic complication during appropriate antibiotic treatment for bacteremia. These case reports should alert physicians to the possibility that pericarditis may become clinically evident in patients with systemic H. influenzae infections many days after initiation of appropriate therapy. The pathophysiology, diagnostic modalities and therapy are briefly reviewed.

Atypical measles syndrome: pathologic and serologic findings.

The clinical course of measles occurring in 17 adolescents who had previously received killed measles vaccine is described. All adolescents had a peripheral dermatitis. Fifteen had characteristic pulmonary infiltrates. Serologic study in six adolescents using immunoprecipitation of 35S-methionine-labeled measles virus antigens revealed that 5/6 acute sera lacked antibody to the hemolysin antigen whereas 5/6 sera contained antibody to hemagglutinin antigen. Skin biopsies, obtained from three patients, demonstrate a combination of an Arthus reaction and delayed hypersensitivity. The typical measles histologic complex was absent. Measles virions were seen in the deep dermal blood vessels. The serologic and histopathologic presentation of this disease indicates that killed vaccine does not adequately induce antibody to the hemolysin (F) which is necessary to prevent cell-to-cell spread of paramyxoviruses. Killed vaccine does, however, produce hemagglutinin antibody and simultaneously incites later hypersensitivity to wild virus infection, producing the unusual dermatopathologic reaction seen.

Rapid contextual conditioning in autoshaping.

Two experiments are reported which investigate the speed of contextual conditioning in autoshaping. In both experiments, a procedure was employed in which ring doves were magazine trained in one context prior to the manipulation of background values in a second context. In Experiment 1, subjects were exposed to 4, 8, 64, 128, or 256 US-only presentations prior to autoshaping. Acquisition speed and maintained response measures were monotonically related to the number of pretraining trials. Subjects in Group 4 acquired the key-peck response fastest, and retardation was maximal within 64 pretraining trials. In Experiment 2, subjects given 20 pretraining trials were significantly more retarded than subjects given 2 pretraining trials, but only when pretraining and testing were conducted in the same context. Overall, the results of these experiments show that in autoshaping, contextual conditioning is very rapid; this demonstrates the plausibility of theoretical accounts of Pavlovian conditioning which assert that the development of the conditioned response depends on the associative values of both the CS and background stimuli.
