    Notes: Summary Fifty-five patients with psoriatic arthritis were treated with a low dose of cyclosporin A (CyA) (mean dose 2.7 mg/kg per day) for a period of 6 months to investigate the efficacy of CyA on disease parameters. Significant improvement in the joint complaints and inflammation parameters was observed including a decrease in the number of painful (-46%) and swollen (-45%) joints, tenderness (Ritchie Index: -50%) and degree of swelling (-46%), patient's assessment of pain (-35%), the duration of morning joint stiffness (-37%), as well as a decrease in C-reactive protein (-52%). A 50% reduction of joint complaints required a total of 24 weeks, whereas a 50% reduction of skin involvement was achieved after 5–6 weeks of treatment. Four patients left the study due to adverse events: creatinine level increase in two patients, hypertension in one patient and gastroenteritis in the fourth patient. Joint scintigraphy in 18 patients indicated an improvement or stable condition in 61% of cases after a mean follow-up of approximately 8 months. The results of this prospective study show that low-dose CyA effectively improves not only skin lesions, but also joint complaints in psoriatic arthritis.

    Notes: Background A formulation containing agents affecting the non-inflammatory as well as the inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris at the same time would be efficient, probably showing a high efficacy and possibly a considerable shortening of the duration of treatment. One single formulation would simplify drug administration thereby enhancing patient compliance and possibly leading to improved therapeutic results. In two studies this seems to have been corroborated for the fixed clindamycin phosphate-tretinoin gel formulation.Objective This study was designed to assess whether the recently developed fixed formulation of 1.2% clindamycin phosphate and 0.025% tretinoin in a gel base (Velac®), further referred to as Clindamycin phosphate Tretinoin Gel is at least as effective as a proprietary 0.025% tretinoin gel formulation (Aberela®, Janssen Cilag Ab, Sollentuna, Sweden; further defined as tretinoin) showing an additional anti-inflammatory effect in the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris.Methods In a double-blind, randomised study 72 patients were treated with CTG and 73 with tretinoin gel in a once daily regimen for 12 weeks. Responses, irritation as well as possible systemic and other adverse effects were recorded after 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment and the improvement, compared to baseline, assessed in all included patients. An additional assessment of the safety parameters was carried out at week 2. Parameters of efficacy were the various acne lesion counts, the overall acne severity grade and the calculated totals of acne lesion counts.Results CTG was statistically significantly more effective than tretinoin at the P= 0.05 level in the papular and the total mean inflammatory lesion counts as well as in the estimated or calculated mean overall acne severity scores. CTG and tretinoin gel were equally effective in the remaining parameters: open and closed comedones, the calculated total mean comedone, the pustule as well as the nodule lesion counts. The onset of action was faster for CTG than for tretinoin gel and evident in all assessed parameters except in open comedone lesion counts. In the calculated total mean acne lesion counts, half of all acne lesions had disappeared by week 6 of treatment with CTG, whereas this was recorded at week 9 for tretinoin gel. No clinically relevant changes in the parameters of safety as a consequence of treatment were observed, although the burning component of irritation was shown to be significantly less for CTG than for tretinoin gel. The observed adverse effects were considered minor. Treatment had to be discontinued in five patients on CTG and three on tretinoin.Conclusion The addition of clindamycin to tretinoin, as in CTG, enhances the comedolytic efficacy of tretinoin in moderate to severe acne of the face, maintaining at the same time its anti-inflammatory efficacy thus accelerating resolution of all types of acne lesions without affecting the safety of response to both components.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Background and Objective. Penicillin allergy is a common clinical problem. The distinction between penicillin and para-infectious exanthems is difficult. We investigated the reliability of the history, as well as the sensitivity and specificity of skin tests and specific IgE levels. Patients/Methods: 160 patients with a history of penicillin allergy were retrospectivly evaluated in the outpatient department of a dermatological clinic. Results: Nearly 50% were diagnosed as allergic to penicillin by detection of specific IgE or skin test. About 60% of the patients with immediate type reactions, and 72% with maculo-papular erythema showed positive reactions in skin tests. Significantly more patients were diagnosed as allergic to penicillin by intradermal testing than by prick testing (p〈0,05). The sensitivity of the specific IgE RAST was 17,9%; the specifity, 89,5%. For the prick test the sensitivity was 8,2%; the spe-cifity 90,8%. For the intradermal test the sensitivity was 26%; the specifity 69,7%. Conclusions: We suggest a step by step procedure to detect penicillin allergy making the diagnostic results as valid as possible.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund und Fragestellung. Die Penizillinallergie (PA) ist ein häufiges klinisches Problem und ihre Abgrenzung zu parainfektiösen Exanthemen schwierig. Anhand unseres Patientengutes wurden die Wertigkeit der Anamnese und die Sensitivität und Spezifität von Hauttestung und spezifischem IgE untersucht. Patienten/Methodik: Daten zu 160 Patienten aus den Jahren 1993–1998 aus der Ambulanz einer Universitäts-Hautklinik mit anamnestischer Angabe einer PA wurden retrospektiv ausgewertet. Ergebnisse: Bei ca. 50% der Patienten wurde eine PA durch Bestimmung des spezifischen IgE oder durch Hauttestungen diagnostiziert. Von diesen zeigten ca. 60% mit einer Soforttypsymptomatik und 72% mit einem makulopapulösen Exanthem einen positiven Hauttest. Signifikant mehr Patienten reagierten in der Intrakutantestung als im Pricktest (p〈0,05). Die Sensitivität der Bestimmung des spezifischen IgE konnte mit 17,9%, die Spezifität mit 89,5% errechnet werden. Für den Pricktest betrug die Sensitivität 8,2%, die Spezifität 90,8%. Für den Intrakutantest wurde die Sensitivität mit 26% und die Spezifität mit 69,7% errechnet. Schlussfolgerungen: Wir schlagen eine stufenweise Abklärung bei PA vor, um die Aussage der Diagnostik möglichst sicher zu machen.
