Onychomycosis in Northern Greece during 1994-1998.

In the 5-year period 1994-1998, 13957 patients were examined in the Mycological Laboratory of the State Hospital for Skin and Venereal Diseases, in Thessaloniki, Greece. Of the 2766 patients presenting with onychomycoses (20%), 67% were women and 33% were men. In the toenail infections, dermatophytes were most often isolated (72.3%), especially in women, followed by moulds (9.6%) and yeasts (2%); 16.1% of the infections were mixed. In the fingernail infections mostly yeasts were isolated (72%), especially in women, followed by dermatophytes (10%) and moulds (5.6%); 12.4% of the infections were mixed.

Cutaneous consequences of photodynamic therapy.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has several cutaneous complications: photosensitivity is well known, but the other complications are rarely reported, Since late 1997, we have studied the dermatologic complications of using porfimer sodium PDT to treat either Barrett esophagus with high-grade dysplasia or gastroesophageal cancer in 72 consecutive patients. Cutaneous complications of PDT included serious phototoxicity requiring oral corticosteroid treatment (22 patients; 31%), herpes zoster (HZ) requiring hospitalization and intravenous antiviral treatment (1 patient; 1%), and erythema multiforme drug reaction related to porfimer sodium (1 patient; 1%). PDT-associated dermatologic complications were common and were not related to cutaneous photosensitivity.

Contact dermatitis in adolescents.

BACKGROUND: Adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 are exposed to a series of substances capable of causing contact dermatitis. OBJECTIVES: (1) To study the frequency and characteristics of allergic contact dermatitis in adolescents, (2) to characterize the group being studied, and (3) to verify the main sensitizing substances among this age group. METHODS: From 1996 to 2001, 1,027 patients with a suspicion of contact dermatitis were analyzed, and patients between 10 and 19 years of age were selected. These patients were submitted to contact tests. RESULTS: Among the 102 adolescents, 93 (91%) were female and 9 (9%) were male. The face was the area most affected by dermatosis. The contact tests were positive in 64 patients (56%), whereas in 45 (44%) they were negative. The main location of the contact dermatitis was the face (36%). The substances with higher frequencies of sensitization were nickel sulfate in 33 (31%) patients and tosylamide-formaldehyde resin in 13 (12%) patients. CONCLUSION: Contact dermatitis in adolescents was more frequent in white girls and on the face. The substances with greater frequency of sensitization were nickel sulfate and tosylamide-formaldehyde resin. These two substances are related to adolescent habits and behavior.
