    Notes: Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare disorder which can markedly affect the quality of life in individual patients. So far, no generally accepted and effective treatment modality has been available. Although the precise nature of eosinophilic fasciitis is still unknown, it is often regarded as a variant of localized scleroderma (morphoea). Phototherapy and photochemotherapy have been shown to be effective in the treatment of sclerodermatous skin lesions. We report a patient with eosinophilic fasciitis which was successfully treated with psoralen plus ultraviolet A bath photochemotherapy within 6 months.

    Notes: Background Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an immunological disorder frequently occurring as a late consequence of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Two variants, cutaneous lichenoid and sclerodermoid, have been described, based on clinical and histopathological examinations. It is, however, difficult to determine non-invasively the degree of cutaneous GVHD in vivo. Ultrasonographic methods have recently provided us with the means for objective and non-invasive monitoring of the dynamics of many chronic skin diseases.Aim, patients and methods In five patients with chronic cutaneous sclerodermoid GVHD skin thickness was measured with a 20-MHz B-mode ultrasound scanner (DUB 20S, taberna pro medicum, Lüneburg, Germany) in a clinically well-defined target skin lesion. Additionally cutaneous GVHD was assessed histologically before and after treatment.Results In all patients before treatment the corium of sclerotic skin was thicker than the corresponding areas of healthy skin. The skin thickness was increased from 45% to 83%. In the subcutaneous tissue proper echo-rich reflexes were prominent, representing the correlate of subcutaneous fibrotic trabeculae. In all patients ultrasonographic evidence of regression was shown (decrease of skin thickness by 18–83%). Moreover, it was demonstrated that quantitative assessment of skin thickness is feasible.Conclusions In this paper we describe the detailed sonographic features of cutaneous sclerodermoid GVHD for the first time. As the method is simple and non-invasive, repeated examinations are possible. This provides the basis for monitoring treatment effects and efficient follow-up in these chronically progressive clinical conditions after bone marrow transplantation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Accidental exposure to ionizing radiation may occur during such catastrophic events as the Chernobyl accident in 1986 or over days to weeks as in Goiania in 1987 and in the military camp during the training of soldiers in Lilo/Georgia in 1997, as well as in medical institutions. The cutaneous symptoms after radiation exposure are based on a combination of inflammatory processes and alteration of cellular proliferation as a result of a specific pattern of transcriptionally activated proinflammatory cytokines and growth factors. They follow a time course consisting of prodromal erythema, latency period, acute stage, chronic stage and late stage. The entire complex is referred to as cutaneous radiation syndrome. The time course depends on several factors such as the radiation dose, radiation quality, individual radiation sensitivity, the extent of contamination and absorption and amount of skin exposed. For the diagnosis of the cutaneous radiation syndrome the following procedures are used: 7.5 MHz to 20 MHz-B-scan sonography, thermography, capillary microscopy, profilometry, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, bone scintigraphy and histology. Based on the results of experimental and clinical research, today treatment may include topical or systemic corticosteroids, gamma-interferon, pentoxifylline, vitamin E and superoxide dismutase. The treatment depends on the stage of the cutaneous radiation syndrome. Due to the complexity of the clinical manifestations of radiation disease, most patients require interdisciplinary treatment in specialized centres. Dermatologists are essential partners in the life-long follow-up and therapy of such patients.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Exposition mit ionisierender Strahlung kann akzidentiell kurzzeitig bei Katastrophen wie dem Reaktorunglück in Tschernobyl 1986 oder auch über Tage und Wochen wie Goiania im Jahre 1987 und wie in einem Militärlager bei der Ausbildung von Soldaten in Lilo/Georgien im Jahre 1997 als auch in medizinischen Behandlungseinrichtungen vorkommen. Die Symptome nach der Strahlenexposition der Haut beruhen auf einer Kombination von inflammatorischen Prozessen und gehemmter Proliferation, die sich als Resultat eines spezifischen Musters transkriptionell aktivierter vor allem proinflammatorischer Zytokine und Wachstumsfaktoren darstellen. Sie unterliegen einem phasenhaften Verlauf: Prodromalerythem, Manifestationsstadium, chronisches Stadium sowie Spätstadium und werden als kutanes Strahlensyndrom bezeichnet. Der Ablauf der einzelnen Phasen ist neben der applizierten Strahlendosis, -qualität und Dosisleistung von verschiedenen anderen Faktoren wie der individuellen Strahlenempfindlichkeit sowie dem Ausmaß von Kontamination und Absorption bzw. exponiertem Volumen des Hautorgans abhängig. Die Diagnostik des kutanen Strahlensyndroms erfordert folgende Verfahren: 7,5- bis 20-MHz-Sonographie, Thermographie, Kapillarmikroskopie, Profilometrie, Kernspintomographie, Skelettszintigraphie sowie die histologische Untersuchung. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen experimenteller und klinischer Forschung der letzten Jahre umfaßt die differente Pharmakotherapie des kutanen Strahlensyndroms heute topisch und systemisch verabreichte Steroide, γ-Interferon, Pentoxyfillin und Vitamin E sowie Superoxiddismutase und ist streng stadienabhängig. Die Komplexität der klinischen Manifestationsformen der Strahlenkrankheit machen meist eine interdisziplinäre Versorgung in spezialisierten Zentren erforderlich. Dermatologen sind in der oft lebenslang notwendigen Therapie und Nachsorge der betroffenen Patienten in besonderer Weise gefordert.
