    Notes: The naevus of Ota (naevus fusculocoeruleus ophthalmomaxillaris) was first described by the Japanese dermatologist M. T. Ota in 1939. It has a reported incidence of 0.2% to 1% in the Japanese population. It usually occurs in the skin innervated by the first or second branch of the trigeminal nerve. The naevus comprises dermal melanocytes and is congenital or acquired during adolescence. Commonly associated lesions include scleral melanocytosis and other ocular manifestations as well as lesions of the tympanic membrane, oral and intranasal mucosa and leptomeninges. Diseases associated with Ota's naevus in rare cases are open-angle glaucomas and melanoma. The naevus of Ota in Europeans is a rare manifestation. We report the very rare case of a bilateral naevus of Ota associated with enoral melanocytosis in a white European person.

    Notes: An immunohistochemical analysis of skin biopsies was performed in 18 patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE), using the alkaline phosphatase and monoclonal anti-alkaline phosphatase method (APAAP). The study group was subdivided on the basis of clinical criteria into 10 patients with chronic discoid LE (CDLE) and eight patients with subacute cutaneous LE (SCLE).Using a panel of monoclonal antibodies the following results were obtained: (i) ICAM-1 was expressed on epidermal keratinocytes, dermal inflammatory cells, and endothelial cells in most biopsies, whereas LFA-1 was confined to the dermis. Attachments between keratinocytes or endothelial cells and activated T lymphocytes via ICAM-1/LFA-1 may be a possible mechanism of target/effector recognition in cutaneous LE. (ii) HLA-DR was expressed on epidermal keratinocytes and cells of the dermal infiltrate, but not on endothelial cells. HLA-DR+ cells probably function as antigen-presenting cells, leading to major histocompatibility complex-restricted cellular cytotoxicity in cutaneous LE. (iii) Interleukin 2 receptor expression on dermal inflammatory cells was weak, indicating non-specific activation of T lymphocytes. (iv) The dermal inflammatory cells were T lymphocytes, mainly of the helper/inducer subtype. B lymphocytes were rarely found in the dermis.In general, no significant immunohistochemical differences were found between CDLE and SCLE, suggesting that these variants represent clinical subtypes rather than different pathogenetic entities.

    Notes: Moderately raised levels of circulating anticardiolipin antibodies were found in 14 of 30 patients witb active Adamantiades-Bebget's disease (46.7%) wbo were not receiving treatment. Three patients sbowed the IgG isotype, nine the IgM isotype, and two bad botb IgG and IgM isotypes. Statistical analysis, to determine possible correlations between anticardiolipin antibodies and clinical features, and meta-analysis of the data available, were performed.A positive correlation between erytbema nodosum and bistologically confirmed cutaneous vasculitis and the presence of circulating anticardiolipin antibodies of tbe IgM isotype was found (P=0.017 and 0.018, respectively). wbereas the IgG isotype did not correlate with any clinical feature. Evaluation of data on other clinical manifestations showed no correlation, either with the IgG or IgM isotypes. In particular, there was no association of circulating anticardiolipin antibodies with tbe incidence of thrombosis, systemic vasculitis, retinal involvement or neurological features.These results suggest that anticardiolipin antibodies do not play a major patbogenetic role in Adamantiades-Bebget's disease, but they may serve as an additional marker for a risk of the development of cutaneous vasculitis such as erythema nodosum.

    Notes: Scleromyxoedema, a disseminated papular and sclerotic variant of lichen myxoedematosus, is a rare disease with a chronic progressive course, and little tendency towards spontaneous remission. The treatment of scleromyxoedema has been largely ineffective. Aggressive chemotherapeutic agents have been used, often leading to therapy-related morbidity and mortality. We report a 41-year-old woman with scleromyxoedema, associated with a monoclonal gammopathy of IgG-k type, whose condition almost completely cleared with 12 monthly sessions of extracorporeal photopheresis. The patient had previously not responded to isotretinoin, and chlorambucil with prednisolone.

    Notes: Summary A cutaneous metastatic angiosarcoma was diagnosed in a 79-year-old woman 19 years after radiotherapy for a carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohisto-chemical staining (factor VIII-related antigen and BMA 120) and electron microscopic examination. Surgical treatment of the large tumour, which was situated in the gluteal region, was not feasible, but electron beam therapy resulted in complete remission. However, a further metastasis occurred in the inguinal region, and management by total excision, radiotherapy, and interferon-alpha treatment was unsuccessful. The patient died 28 months after the initial diagnosis of the neoplasm.

    Notes: The role of die human T-cell lymphotropic/leukaemia virus type I (HTLV-1) in the photogenesis of auto-immune diseases of unknown cause, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS) or Sjögren's syndrome (SS) has been discussed extensively. We have investigated whether SLE is in any way associated with exogenous HTLV-I. Using enzyme immunoassay (EIA), we found no scroreactivity against HTLV-I antigens in any of 24 SLF. patients under investigation. Using a radioimmunoprecipilation assay (RIP A), there was also no expression of retroviral tax-protein demonstrable in 24 individuals with SLE. DNA preparations of peripheral blood cells, as well as isolated CD4- and CD8-positive cells, were examined for HTLV-I sequences (pol-, env-, gag-, LTR- and tax-region) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), We were unable to demonstrate any specific HTLV-I PCR products in SLE specimens. Our data suggest that exogenous HTLV-I is not involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.

    Notes: Contact allergy to oil of turpentine was reported to have become rare. However, the evaluation of standardized data of 45,005 patients tested 1992–1997 in 30 Dermatological Centers associated with the German-Austrian Information Network of Departments of Dermatology (IVDK) showed an increase in positive patch test reactions to turpentine from 0.5% during the years 1992–1995, up to 1.7% in 1996 and 3.1% in 1997. In particular, 17,347 patients tested in 1996–1997 were evaluated in detail by comparing 431 individuals with positive patch test reactions with the rest of the group found negative to turpentine. Using the so-called MOAHLFA index, the following characteristics were shown. Turpentine allergy (a) was found to be significantly less frequent in men and in patients with occupational dermatitis, (b) showed no difference in its association with atopic dermatitis, (c) patients with turpentine allergy had significantly less symptoms of the hands, more symptoms of the legs or in the face and (d) were significantly more often aged over 60 years. Also, patients sensitized to turpentine had increased rates of additional sensitizations. The definite reason for the increase in turpentine sensitization in the population tested here is not clear. Therefore, a detailed exposure analysis is necessary; the new increase in turpentine allergies may be due to popular topical remedies or household chemicals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Classic variants of cutaneous borreliosis are erythema chronicum migrans (ECM), lymphadenosis benigna cutis (LBC) and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA). Other dermatoses have been reported in the literature as possibly linked to borreliosis. A 59-year old female patient was seen in the late phases of cutaneous borreliosis with histologically confirmed ACA. In addition, prominent livedo racemosa was seen on the legs, also showing tissue changes similar to those of ACA. Borrelia burgdorferi infection was serologically confirmed by the presence of anti-IgM and anti-IgG antibodies. The clinical spectrum of late cutaneous borreliosis should be enlarged to include livedo racemosa.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Klassische kutane Varianten der Borreliose sind das Erythema chronicum migrans (ECM), die Lymphadenosis cutis benigna (LCB) und die Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA). Darüber hinaus gibt es seltenere, bislang nur kasuistisch beschriebene Dermatosen, der denen der Zusammenhang zu einer Borreliose vermutet wird. Hier berichten wir über eine 59jährige Patientin, die sich bereits im Spätstadium einer Borreliose befand. Einerseits zeigte die Patientin eine Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans, die histologisch gesichert wurde. Zusätzlich lag eine Livedo racemosa an den unteren Extremitäten vor, die histologisch ebenfalls charakteristische Merkmale einer kutanen Borreliose aufwies. Serologisch ließ sich die Borrelieninfektion durch das Vorhandensein von Antikörpern der Klassen IgM und IgG gegen Borrelia burgdorferi bestätigen. Wir schlagen vor, das bekannte klinische Spektrum der späten kutanen Borreliosen mit dem möglichen Auftreten einer Livedo racemosa zu erweitern.
