    Notes: We present a normolipaemic young man with extensive facial plane xanthomas and xanthelasmas with a high level of lipoprotein(a) and possibly increased vascular permeability. These associations are of potential importance in understanding the pathogenesis of xanthoma formation and in the identification of patients at risk from coronary atherosclerosis.

    Notes: Erythema elevatum diutinum is a syndrome of vasculitis in which lesions, typically over the extensor surfaces, show a mixed inflammatory infiltrate on biopsy. We describe a series of 13 patients. The most common association in our series was with hypergammaglobulinemia; both mono and polyclonal. Chronic infection, not streptococcal, was a less frequent finding although two of three patients had a positive reaction to the intradermal injection of streptococcal antigen. Dapsone remains the initial treatment of choice.

    Corticosteroid usage and binding to arginine: determinants of corticosteroid hypersensitivity (1996)

    Notes: Summary Hypersensitivity to topical corticosteroids is a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis. The deveiopment of contact allergy is dependent on individual susceptibility, exposure to the potential allergen and the ability to penetrate the epidermis and react with epidermal protein. We looked at corticosteroid binding to arginine and relative usage of corticosteroids to see if these variables explain the number of allergic reactions seen to these structurally similar chemicals. A linear relationship was found between a measure of corticosteroid binding to arginine, the log of relative corticosteroid usage and the log of the relative number of corticosteroid allergies. Using multiple regression this association was significant (P = 0.01). Statistically, these two variables accounted for 73% of the variation in the results. Our results showed that the number of corticosteroid allergic reactions was dependent on usage and the intrinsic ability of the corticosteroid to degrade and bind to arginine. While total corticosteroid usage is unlikely to change, the prescription of individual corticosteroids with a reduced potential to degrade and bind to protein, but with equal efficacy, might reduce the overall prevalence of corticosteroid hypersensitivity.

    Notes: Summary Background Most studies investigating steroid allergy have been performed with tixocortol pivalate, hydrocortisone butyrate and budesonide. Betnovate® and Dermovate® are widely prescribed in the U.K. but little is known about the frequency of sensitization to them. Objectives To determine the optimum method to detect contact allergy to betamethasone valerate (BV) and clobetasol propionate (CP). Methods Seven centres tested consecutive patients attending for investigation of suspected allergic contact dermatitis to these steroids at a range of concentrations in different vehicles. Results Of 1562 patients tested, 16 (1%) reacted to either BV or CP. Ten patients (0·7%) reacted to BV and 13 (0·8%) to CP. Two patients of a further centre were included in analysis of dilutions and vehicles. Sixteen of a total of 25 reactions (64%) were identified with a 1% dilution in ethanol. Conclusions Consideration should be given to adding BV and CP to a standard allergy series, given that both are frequently used in the treatment of eczema and that most patients sensitized to them are not identified with currently used markers of steroid allergy. If patch tests to BV and CP are initially negative, but an allergy is suspected, the patient should be further investigated. Further studies are required to identify the ideal patch test material.

    Audit of primary and secondary care as a source of patch test clinic referrals (2004)

    Notes: Background  Referral for patch testing is important in managing patients with eczema/dermatitis. These referrals come from many different sources.Objectives  To assess the appropriateness of referrals from general practitioners (GPs) to a dedicated patch test clinic.Methods  Referral sources were recorded for patch testing in a dedicated contact dermatitis unit for a 4-month period between November 2002 and February 2003.Results  Of 217 referrals reviewed, 45 (21%) were received from GPs. There was no significant difference in the percentages of positive patch test results and of relevant positive patch test results obtained from GP referrals compared with those received from other sources, including dermatology departmental referrals.Conclusions  Referrals from GPs, if selected appropriately, can be seen directly in the patch test clinic without prior assessment in a general dermatology clinic.

    PUVA and methotrexate therapy of psoriasis: how closely do dermatology departments follow treatment guidelines? (1994)

    Notes: Following publication of treatment guidelines for patients with psoriasis, a six-centre audit was undertaken to assess current therapeutic practice for two second-line treatments, PUVA and methotrexate. The audit consisted of random sampling of casenotes by external auditors from a paired dermatology department, and assessment by questionnaire. One hundred and eight PUVA and 118 methotrexate casenotes were audited. The commonest indications for treatment were: (a) failure of topical therapy-PUVA (mean 81% of casenotes), methotrexate (84%); (b) repeated hospital admissions-PUVA (16%), methotrexate (25%).For both PUVA and methotrexate, some aspects of treatment were well documented: PUVA-psoralen dosage (91%), response to PUVA (89%), cumulative lifetime UVA dosage (81%); methotrexate-pretreatment assessment of full blood count (91%), urea and electrolytes (85%), liver function tests (84%). For other aspects documentation was less complete: PUVA-no documentation of presence/absence of skin cancer history (66%), note of photoactive drugs (32%); methotrexate—concurrent medication (69%), history of presence/absence of liver disease (36%). Another aspect which was poorly documented in both PUVA and methotrexate notes was whether advice on contraception/fertility had been given. There was no indication in 29 of 32 casenotes of females of child-bearing age receiving PUVA, and 52 of 63 case notes of relevant patients on methotrexate.This project has demonstrated that formal, multicentre audit based on published guidelines is a practical proposition.

    Notes: Summary We have prospectively performed patch and intradermal tests on 105 consecutive patients, attending for patch testing, to determine the optimum method of screening for corticosteriod hypersensitivity. Patch tests with Pivalone® and a corticosteriod series (all 1% in ethanol) detected all the patients with steroid sensitivity. However, intradermal tests were essential to exclude false positive reactions and detect all relevant steroid allergies in any individual patient.

    Hypersensitivity to topical corticosteroids (1994)

    Notes: Contact hypersensitivity from topical corticosteroids is becoming increasingly recognized; it is present in 2–5% of the patients attending contact dermatitis clinics. The use of a corticosteroid series containing tixocortal pivalate 1% (petrolatum), to detect hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone, and other steroids 1% (ethanol), depending on local corticosteroid usage, detects the majority of cases of corticosteroid hypersensitivity. In selected cases, the use of intradermal tests further improves the diagnosis of corticosteroid hypersensitivity.Corticosteroid hypersensitivity occurs most frequently among patients with stasis dermatitis. However, corticosteroid hypersensitivity is also common in other types of dermatitis, occurring as frequently as hypersensitivity to several allergens (e.g. wool alcohols and colophony) in the European standard battery. Although hypersensitivity has mainly been reported with corticosteroids applied to the skin, reactions may also occur on mucosal surfaces, following systemic administration and with sex steroids.

    Notes: We report two cases of simultaneous Sweet's syndrome and erythema nodosum. We believe this to be a real association rather than the extension of the neutrophilic infiltrate of Sweet's syndrome into the subcutaneous fat.In one of our cases, concurrent erythema nodosum and Sweet's syndrome was a presentation of sarcoidosis with bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Sweet's syndrome with sarcoidosis.
