[Epidermal peripilar nevus].

A classic case of Epidermal Nevus with a particular peripilar arrangement is presented. Histopathologically, acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis is observed. The indemnity of the hair appendages was demonstrated in three biopsies. Some observations are made about the classification of the epidermal nevus following recent research which includes epidermolytic hyperkeratosis and linear includes epidermolytic hyperkatosis and linear inflammatory nevus. Follicular and comedo nevus, which was included in the differential diagnosis of this patient, is discussed.

[Results of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin treatment of patients with pretibial myxedema and Basedow's disease. Preliminary findings].

Three patients affected with Graves' ophthalmopathy and pretibial myxoedema have been treated with high dose intravenous immunoglobulins. We have observed in all patients clinical improvement of pretibial myxoedema and a parallel reduction or negativization of the titre of circulating thyroglobulin, microsomal, TSH receptor autoantibodies and of non organ-specific antibodies (antinuclear, anti smooth muscle cells and antimitochondrial autoantibodies). In conclusion the results of this study suggest that intravenous immunoglobulin are effective in the treatment of pretibial myxoedema and probably act by an immunomodulation of autoimmune phenomena.

Minocycline-induced cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies.

Minocycline is an antibiotic widely used in the treatment of acne. Among the induced auto-immune disorders, cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is very rare. A new case is reported below. A 23-year-old female patient treated with minocycline for acne for 24 months developed sub-cutaneous nodules, livedo reticularis and pigmented lesions of the lower limbs. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) were positive at 1/320. Skin biopsy showed vasculitis of a medium-sized artery. The role of minocycline was suspected using the imputability criteria. The diagnosis of minocycline-induced cutaneous PAN with ANCA was sustained. After withdrawal of the treatment, the nodular lesions decreased spontaneously, whereas livedo disappeared and inflammatory parameters were normalized after oral corticosteroid therapy. Minocycline is a tetracycline which is efficient for treating acne. Auto-immune disorders are frequently observed. Among them, it is very rare to observe cutaneous PAN associated with positive ANCA. The pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed.

[Leg cellulitis caused by Aeromonas hydrophila. Medical treatment].

A case of cellulitis of the leg caused by Aeromonas hydrophila in a cirrhotic patient is reported. The starting point of the infection could not be determined with certainty, but a direct local inoculation during foot-baths was suspected. Because of clinical signs suggestive of erysipelas, the disease was initially treated without success with penicillin G, which raises questions concerning the choice of the initial antibiotic therapy for cellulitis of the leg in immunocompromised patients, pending the bacteriological results. A purely medical treatment (adequate antibiotic therapy) resulted in complete cure of this patient, despite the fact that his lesions were necrotizing.

The pressure-dependent nature of the rash in Henoch Schönlein purpura.

A 10 month old girl with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) developed a rash predominantly on the anterior aspect of the knees. The authors speculate that this distribution of the rash was due to the pressure effects consequent to crawling and propose that the distribution of the rash in HSP should be described as pressure-dependent rather than merely gravity-dependent. The therapeutic implications of pressure-dependency in HSP are discussed.

[Diagnosis and therapy of bromoderma tuberosum].

After taking bromine-containing drugs two patients developed bromoderma on the leg. This diagnosis was confirmed by high bromine-levels in the blood. Topical occlusive treatment with glucocorticosteroids was successfull.

[2 cases of Sneddon syndrome].

Two cases of Sneddon syndrome (S.s.) in a 33 and 53-year-old women who developed arterial hypertension, cerebral ischaemic signs and who have livedo reticularis or livedo racemosa, are reported. The authors describe clinical, radiological and biological features of this rare disease, as well as diagnostic investigations including the measurements of the antiphospholipid antibodies (APA). The possible role of APA in the pathogenesis of S.s. is discussed.
