A case of penicillin resistant gonorrhoea is reported who responded to parenteral chloramphenicol 250 mg im twice daily for six days.

Sixty two cases of common superficial dermatomycoses with varying extent of disease and chronicity have been studied to the therapeutic efficacy of griseofluvin. Griseofulvin FP seems to have a remarkable curing effect on a wide variety of superficial fungus infections of the skin and its appendages. It cures fungus infection completely in 80.6% of cases. Follow-up was earned out in most of the cases. In one case of proved fungus infection there was no responce to griseofulvin FP. Six cases showed recurrence after complete cure. Recurrence occurred 2-8 months after on of therapy. They seem to be cases of reinfection rather than relapse, 11 cases showed complete symptomatic improvement with partial objective improvement. These cases included 5 cases of Tinea pedis, 3 cases of Tinea Manum 3 cases of Tinea unguium- Side effects were noticed in 11 cases out of 62,9 had mild side effects like gastro-intestinal discomfort, nausea and diarrhoea, headache, urticaria, 2 patients developed erythema multiforme and Id eruption.

Serum enzyme studies (serum leucine amino – peptidase, serum glutamic oxalacetic

Serum enzyme studies (serum leucine amino-peptidase, serum glutamic oxalacetic transaimnase, serum pyruvic transaminase) were done concurrently on 20 vitiligo patients. Activities of serum leucine amino peptidase and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminases were within normal limits while the activity of serum glutamic oxalacetic transminase was elevated in 45% of cases.
