Donovanosis - a Histological Study |
p. 48 |
KP Khan, SK Bhattacharya, AK Datta Histological study of the biopsy material obtained from ten cases of donovanosis was done. Significant epidermal changes including epidermal hyperplasia and peutrophilic exocytosis were found to be constant features. Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, spongiosis intracellular oedema and marginal parakeratosis were rather variable features. The predominant cells of the granuloma were plasma cells and histiocytes some of which were laden with Donovan bodies. Presence of neutrophilic microabscess in the superficial areas was another fairly constant finding along with the sprinkling. Newly formed capillaries were always seen though the dense cellular infiltrate. The organisms inside the pathognomonic cells took bright red stain with Giemsa. The capsule was found to be PAS positive. There were plenty of reticulin fibres mostly coarse. Possibly these fibres were related to terminal scarring, so often seen, when lesions heal. Even though the histology appeared to be of diagnostic significance, it may be pointed out that it is easier to find the pathognomonic cells and the organism in tissue spread stained with Giemsa's or Leishman's stain than the fixed tissue sections. |

Emotional Traction Alopecia (trichotillomania) |
p. 54 |
Gurmohan Singh A case of trichotillomania involving the eye brows and the right side bums occurring in a 25 years old man is described. The patient has a schizoid personality. His symptoms started after his two unsuccessful attempts at competitive examinations. At the same time the patient's wife had also become pregnant and the patient had ambivalent feelings about the child to be bom. He avtilscs hair at fixed time, between 12 mid-day and 3 p.m. First he gets some tingling after which he rubs and finally plucks hair. The term trichotillomnia is discussed and it is recommended that a more appropriate term be used, as these cases are seldom manic even in its broader sense. Anew term "emotional traction alopecia" is suggested. |
