Fifty seven cases of different types of lichen planus have been studied for histopathological changes of reticular fibers. Prominent proliferation of the fibers occurred in the area of inflammatory infiltrate, with relative increase in sub-epithelial network. No morphological or tinctorial changes of these fibres were noted. The possibility of role of reticular fibers in formation of collagen is discussed.]]> http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/203/2052 SP Tyagi VN Sehgal Sami Hameed Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology 1970 36(6):206-208Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/206/2053 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/206/2053366 206 208 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/206/2053 SP Tyagi, VN Sehgal, Sami Hameed

The present study contains clinical, mycological and therapeutic details of 736 cases of Dermatophytosis. Maximum number of cases were of tinea corporis which formed 58.92% and this was followed by tinea cruris which formed 38.87% of the cases. The commonest age group affected was 20-29 years and the males outnumbered the females. Trichophyton rubrum was incriminated in 92.0% cases followed by T simii, T mentagrophytes and others. Oral griseofulvin gave the best results. An excellent improvement was observed in 77.4% cases who took griseofulvin as compared to 17.9% and 40.3% cases who applied Dermamycin and Bradex-vioform respectively.]]> http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/215/2055 Sardari Lal A Velou T Bhama Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology 1970 36(6):221-223Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/221/2056 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/221/2056366 221 223 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/221/2056 Sardari Lal, A Velou, T Bhama

Thirty cases of acute gonococcal urethritis were treated with Rifampicin in the skin and VD Department of the GT Hospital, Bombay. A single oral dose of 900 mg, Rifampicin was given to all the patients. In every case diagnosis was first confirmed by smear as well as culture on chocolate agar media. Sixty percent of the cases had contracted the disease from prostitutes. Average incubation period was of 4 days. Out of thirty, 28 cases could be cured with single oral dose of 900 mg Rifampicin (cure rate 93.3%). Rifampicin was ineffective only in two cases. The drug was very well tolerated by all the patients. All patients had red urine for 6 to 10 hours after the administration of Rifampicin. In our opinion Rifampicin is a safe as well as very promising drug for the management of acute gonococcal urethritis. It is ideal for cases intolerant to penicillin and does not mask syphilis.]]> http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1970/36/6/224/2057
