Hand eczema in Finnish farmers. A questionnaire-based clinical study.

In a population of 2005 Finnish farmers, 172 (8.6%) reported hand or forearm dermatoses in a self-administered questionnaire. 138 (80%) of them attended a clinical examination. Skin prick tests (SPTs) were done to 80% and patch tests (PTs) to 77% of the examined farmers. 93% of hand dermatoses were eczema and 70% were considered work-related. Cow allergy was found in 41 of 104 prick- and patch-tested farmers (39%). Immediate allergy to cow epithelium was encountered in a total of 28/41, in 20 with SPTs, and in 8 only with 20 min PTs. Delayed contact allergy to cow dander was found in 27/41. The result suggests that in addition to SPTs using commercial cow epithelium extract, PTs using fresh cow dander should also be done, and both immediate and delayed responses should be read.

Presence of growth factors in palmar and plantar fibromatoses.

Palmar and plantar fibromatoses are disease processes in which the presence of certain growth factors has not been defined. Monoclonal antibodies against transforming growth factor-beta, epidermal growth factor, procollagen type 1, fibronectin, phosphotyrosine residues, and CD41 platelet antigen were used in standard immunoperoxidase staining to study 36 nodules and 24 cords obtained from patients with fibromatoses. The specimens were studied via light microscopy, and staining intensity was quantitated using a computer-enhanced video system. Transforming growth factor-beta staining paralleled procollagen I, fibronectin, and phosphotyrosine staining within the nodule (early stages) but not the cord (late stages) tissue. These factors showed significant increased staining in the early stage of fibromatosis when compared to the late stage. This study is a preliminary demonstration of the presence of transforming growth factor-beta in palmar and plantar fibromatoses.

[Bullous pemphigoid in an infant after vaccination].

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a disease that characteristically affects the elderly, although cases have been described in children. We present a case of BP in a two-month-old infant with bullous lesions on the palms and soles, which appeared one week after receiving the first dose of the hepatitis B, polio, DTP and HiB vaccine. She was treated with sulphated water, dexamethasone and fusidic acid, and the lesions disappeared. One month later, she presented with a new, more generalized outbreak, three days after the second dose of the same vaccine. The skin eruption completely subsided 3 months after treatment with deflazacort was initiated (1 mg/kg/day). After five years of follow up, the patient has not presented with lesions again, despite having received the rest of the vaccines on the official schedule.
