    Notes: Summary We report a 71 year-old woman who had severe infammatory acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau. The administration of local remedies, soft X-rays and a number of systemic treatments resulted only in transient and incomplete resolution of the lesions. The pustules, increased skin fragility, tender oedema and erythema were successfully controlled by the local administration of calcipotriol.

    Notes: Summary Many diseases with autoimmune features are associated with alleles of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA). However, few if any malignant disorders have reproducibly been shown to be HLA-associated. In three independent studies, using serological tissue typing techniques, an increase of the HLA class II specificity DR1 has been found in patients with multiple basal cell carcinomas. These observations prompted us to determine the frequencies of DRB1, DQA1, and DQB1 alleles by high-resolution genomic tissue-typing methods, including subdivision of the serological DR 1 specificity in the four sequence-defined alleles, DRB1*0101 to DRB1*0104, in 50 unrelated Swedish patients with a history of four or more basal cell carcinomas and 250 healthy controls. The frequency of DR1 was the same in patients and controls (18%). All DR1-positive patients and controls carried the DQA1* 0101 and DQBI*0501 alleles. Six of the nine DR1-positive patients were DRB1*0101-positive. one DRB1*0102 and two carried the DRB1*0103 allele. This distribution of DRB1*01 alleles did not differ from the one found in the controls. We conclude that genetic factors associated with the HLA class II region do not contribute significantly to the aetiology of multiple basal cell carcinomas.

    Notes: The non-invasive electrical impedance technique used in this study reflects structural changes in a tissue, and provides an estimate of the level of oedema by a simple impedance index.Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), dissolved in water at concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 2.0%, was applied for 24 h in 12 mm Finn chambers® on both volar forearms of 12 healthy volunteers. An unoccluded area was used as a reference site. Readings from all sites were taken before the application of the irritant, and 24 h after its removal. After the last reading, a 3-mm punch biopsy was taken from each test site for histological examination.The results obtained from electrical impedance measurements at five different skin depths were correlated with those obtained from histological examination, visual scoring and transepidermal water loss (TEWL).For all of the methods used the responses were proportional to the concentration of the irritant. Statistically significant changes of electrical impedance were found for all depths and concentrations, except for 0.1% SLS at the most superficial depth. The histological changes were focused in the epidermis, and mainly consisted of oedema. Alterations in the thickness of the epidermis due to oedema were used as a quantitative parameter for correlation with the assessment of irritation using the electrical impedance technique.For the detection of irritant reactions, TEWL and electrical impedance are more sensitive than visual scoring, and selection of the optimum depth penetration further increases the sensitivity of the electrical impedance measurement.

    Notes: Summary We have explored the use of measurements of electrical impedance to discriminate between the effects of different irritant substances upon the skin, and have studied the relationships between impedance and histopathological change. Three compounds with different chemical profiles were tested on volunteers: sodium lauryl sulphate, benzalkonium chloride and nonanoic acid. The concentrations selected were such that each irritant produced responses of a similar order, as judged by visual scores. The magnitude and phase of electrical impedance were measured and, for comparison, also the transepidermal water loss. Four physically distinct aspects (indices) were devised from the impedance data, and the values obtained were statistically analysed. The three irritants produced different effects, giving distinctive impedance patterns. These were also found to be reflected by three different types of histopathological skin response. Our results suggest that the indices can be used to classify irritant contact reactions, which it is difficult or impossible to achieve by other non-invasive techniques.

    Notes: Summary Twenty-two consecutive patients presenting with symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HTV-1) seroconversion were studied. Most of the patients had a glandular fever-like illness.All patients had fever and pharyngitis, and eight of them also suffered from ulcers of the oral, genital or anal mucosa. Uniform skin eruptions were observed in 17 of the 22 patients. The exanthem consisted of varying numbers of macular or maculopapular lesions that were oval or rounded in shape, ranging from a few millimetres to 1 cm in diameter. The lesions were distributed on the upper thorax in all cases, and were particularly profuse in the collar region. The face forehead and scalp were involved in most cases, but the eruption was sparse or absent at the periphery of the extremities. In the majority of patients, the exanthem appeared after 2 or 3 days of fever. The exanthem developed during the first day, persisted for 5-8 days, and then cleared concurrently with the general recovery of the patients.Histopathological studies of skin punch biopsy specimens from four patients showed a sparse lymphocytic cell infiltrate distributed around vessels of the dermal superficial plexus. The infiltrates predominantly consisted of equally represented T-helper/inducer and T-suppressor/cytotoxic cells. A vacuolar aberration of basal layer cells was found in two of the four eases studied histologically. The microscopic findings correspond to the histopathological patterns seen in toxieodermia and in the interface dermatitis of morbilliform viral exanthems. The exanthem is a frequent and characteristic sign of primary HTV infection, which is further indicated if mucosal ulcers are present.

    Notes: The objective of our study was to evaluate a surgical method of management of patients with hidradentitis suppurativa (HS), using a CO2 laser technique for stepwise horizontal vaporization and peroperative monitoring of the removal of diseased tissue. Twenty-four patients were selected for treatment, 21 women and three men, who had suffered from HS for a mean of 13 years (range 1–28 years) and experienced more than three recurrences of suppurating lesions during the year prior to entering the study. The mean follow-up time after CO2 laser surgery was 27 months (range 15–47 months), with clinical follow-up once or twice a week during the wound-healing period, and then at intervals of 1–3 months to evaluate recurrences and assess the end result. The patients' healing time was approximately 4 weeks (range 3–5 weeks). During the follow-up period two patients had recurrences in the treated areas. Twenty-two patients had no recurrences in the treated areas, but in four cases de novo suppurating lesions appeared 5–10 cm beyond the initial sites of surgery. Ten patients had exacerbations of HS lesion(s) in a region other than the treated site. Eight patients did not have any recurrences.Post-surgery results were satisfactory both cosmetically and with regard to quality of life. The CO2 laser stripping-secondary intention technique is a rapid, efficient, and economical method for the treatment of HS. It allows simple treatment of early lesions which would otherwise have been treated using less effective local conservative remedies.

    Notes: Summary A new, non-invasive device, which enables local measurements of electrical impedance to a controlled depth, has been used to evaluate the degree of irritation in human skin. The results have been compared with those obtained using other non-invasive techniques, i.e. with transepidermal water loss (TEWL), electrical capacitance moist measurement (ECM), laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF), and visual scoring.Sodium lauryl sulphate solutions (0·1–5·0%), and a blank, were applied in Finn Chambers® for 24 h on the volar forearm of 10 healthy volunteers. Values were recorded before application of the test chambers, and at 1 h, 24 h, 1 week and 2 weeks after removal. Thus, both the degree of initial damage and the healing process were monitored.There was close agreement among values obtained using electrical impedance. TEWL and visual readings. Results obtained using ECM and LDF were not consistent with the other three methods.In evaluating irritation of the skin, the practical situation may influence the choice of bioengineering tools. In most circumstances, a combination of methods would be preferable.
