In our study under review 80 cases of acute gonorrhoea were treated by a single dose oral therapy with tetracyclines. There were 20 cases in each drug group. 10 capsules of each drug was given to the patients under the direct supervision of the physician, The patients were followed up daily for 3 consecutive days and thereafter once a week for 3 weeks. If at any time gonococci were demonstrated within the 3 weeks of post treatment period, the case was considered as a failure. With spiramycin (Rovamycin) there were 18 cures and 2 failures giving a cure rate of 90%. With demethylchlortetracycline. (Ledermycin), there were 19 cures and one failure giving a cure rate of 95%. With Hostacycline 500 (tetracycline hydrochloride) all the 20 cases were cured giving a cure rate of 100%. With tetracycline with ascorbic acid (Resteclin), there were 18 cures and 2 failures giving a cure rate of 90%. There were no reactions or any untoward effects in any of the cases treated.]]> http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/112/2119 Kamlesh Kumar Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology 1972 38(3):117-121Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/117/2120 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/117/2120383 117 121 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/117/2120 Kamlesh Kumar

Out of 100 cases studied, only in 53 percent of the cases we could make an etiological diagnosis. In acute urticaria, drugs were found to be the most common etiological agent, whereas in chronic urticaria physical allergy was found to be the most common factor. The incidence of atopy and dermographism is not increased in urticaria patients when compared to controls.]]> http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/132/2122 P Chatterjee RK Saxena Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology 1972 38(3):141-145Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/141/2123 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/141/2123383 141 145 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/141/2123 P Chatterjee, RK Saxena

Twenty- five workers affected with industrial dermatitis due to diesel oil and 25 workers who were exposed to diesel oil for over 3 years but who never developed dermatitis were studied with reference to their blood groups. It is observed that blood group A is evenly distributed among affected and non-affected persons. Two out of every 3 persons with blood group B have developed dermatitis, whereas only one out of 3 person with blood group 1) developed dermatitis. It is concluded that blood grouping provides a rough screening test for the prospective employees to be engaged in work connected with diesel oil during pre-placement medical examination.Dimethicone-20 containing ointment (Siloderm) was used on 25 workers affected with oil acne and found to give excellent result in 76% of the cases and good result in 16% of the cases. It is concluded that this ointment is reliable and safe in the prophylaxis and management of industrial dermatitis due to diesel oil.]]> http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/146/2124 PB Joshi Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology 1972 38(3):150-151Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/150/2125 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/150/2125383 150 151 http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?1972/38/3/150/2125 PB Joshi
