    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Unilateral laterothoracic exanthem a (ULE) is a self-limited, probably infectious-allergic skin disease predominately affecting small children. We describe five such cases. The typical unilaterally located or at least unilaterally dominant exanthem usually starts in the axillary region and is characterized by red, partly confluent papules and fine scales. Two of the children presented with atypical manifestations of ULE. Due to its asymptomatic course, therapy is not necessary in the majority of cases.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 5 Kinder mit der Diagnose eines unilateralen laterothorakalen Exanthems (ULE) werden vorgestellt. Beim ULE handelt es sich um eine selbstlimitierende, vermutlich infektallergische Hauterkrankung, die hauptsächlich im Kleinkindesalter auftritt. Das typischerweise streng einseitig lokalisierte, immer jedoch einseitig dominierende Exanthem geht meist von der Axillarregion aus und zeigt erythematöse, teils konfluierende Papeln. Zwei der fünf Kinder zeigten auch atypische Hautveränderungen eines ULE. Eine Behandlung ist aufgrund seines überwiegend asymptomatischen Verlaufs in der Mehrzahl der Fälle nicht notwendig.

    Notes: Background Tinea capitis is the most common dermatophytosis of childhood with increasing incidence. Whereas griseofulvin is considered by many as the mainstay of treatment, newer oral antifungal agents, including fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine have demonstrated higher efficacy, resulting in shorter treatment durations. Objectives We aimed to determine the optimum regimen for the treatment of childhood tinea capitis with itraconazole. Methods A mycological culture outcome-dependent combination of a 28-day continuous and facultative additional 14-day courses with itraconazole was used in 42 children (20 girls; 22 boys) aged 12–140 months (mean 66) with tinea capitis due to Microsporum canis (n = 26) and Trichophyton violaceum (n = 16). The drug was given orally according to the patients’ body weight (50 mg daily for 〈 20 kg; 100 mg daily for ≥ 20 kg) over 4 weeks. Direct microscopy and fungal culture as a parameter for efficacy were repeated 2 weeks after termination of treatment. Assessment of efficacy was based on the evaluation of results from light microscopy and culture at 8 weeks after initiation of treatment, and in the case of a further positive mycological culture at 14 and 20 weeks, respectively. A positive fungal culture at these times resulted in an additional course for 2 weeks with the initially chosen itraconazole dosage. Results In 34 of 42 patients a single 4-week course of itraconazole resulted in a complete mycological cure of lesions as demonstrated by light microscopy and mycological culture. Four of 42 patients had to be treated by a second itraconazole course for 2 weeks, and four children received a third course of itraconazole for 2 weeks until all lesions showed negative direct microscopy and mycological culture. No abnormal haematological or biochemical results occurred. Apart from transient, completely reversible indigestion in two children, no side-effects were observed. Conclusions A culture-based 28-day continuous therapeutic regimen plus facultative cultural outcome-dependent additional 14-day courses of a body weight-adapted dosage of itraconazole in tinea capitis due to M. canis and T. violaceum is discussed; this offers the advantage of an effective therapy with complete negative direct microscopy as well as negative cultural results, within a shorter active treatment period (cf. previous studies with continuous administration of itraconazole).
