Pulse Therapy with Dexamethasone Cyclophospamide in Pemphigus
JS Pasricha, Ramji Gupta
September-October 1984, 50(5):199-203
In order to achieve better therapeutic results, 10 patients having pemphigus vulgaris were treated with repeated pulses of dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide. Each pulse consisted of 100 mg dexamethasone given intravenously in 5 % glucose over a period of 1 hour on three consecutive days. In addition, 500 mg cyclophosphamide was given with the pulse on the first day, followed by 50 mg orally daily even in between the pulses. Such pulses were repeated every 2-4 weeks depending upon the clinical activity of the disease. With this therapy, healing of skin lesions was generally much faster and the patient could as a rule be discharged within 4-5 days. Secondly, the side effects usually associated with prolonged corticosteriod therapy were far milder. In a follow-up varying from 13 ½ to 26 ½ months, 6 patients remained free from relapses for 6 to 14 ½ 2 months, while 4 patients continued to develop relapses at variable intervals sfter each pulse.

Biological and clinical significance of the HLA system
NK Mehra
September-October 1984, 50(5):181-196
The HLA associations reported so far have implication in diagnosis prognosis and prophylaxis for a few of the diseases and in several cases, they have helped to clarify disease heterogenicity. However ' the area where a full consensus is yet to be achieved is regarding the mechanism by which these disease associations with HLA antigens work. Numerous investigators have discussed various possible mechanisms in the light of individual diseases. In general diseases associated with HLA class I antigens may in some way involve cytotoxic T lymphocytes whereas those more strongly associated with HIA - class II antigens (-DR) may involve T helper or suppressor lymphocytes. With the availability of new genetic methodology, significant advances in our understanding of the inheritance pattern of some diseases have been made. Studies of the newly discovered HLA polymorphisms, such as the DQ and DP markers at the- cellular level (Class - 11 genes products) and restriction sites at the DNA level are likely to lead to new associations. Further, the discovery of the monoclonal antibodies recognizing distinct epitopes on HLA class - 11 molecules and DNA probes recognizing DNA flanking sequences would help greatly in providing much stronger genetic marker systems in these diseases.

Out of 148 consecutive male patients who attended the Skin and STD clinic for sexually transmitted diseases or related problems. 30 patients had pearly Penile Papules. The average age of these patients was 25 years. The incidence, among circumcised anduncircumcised patients was, almost equal. Twenty per cent of those with pearly penile papules felt that they had an S T D Plearly penile papules is a common cause of venereophobia.,

Histological Changes in the Apparently Normal Skin at the Periphery of Leprosy Lesions
RN Verma, MA Tutakne, PK Sharma
September-October 1984, 50(5):212-212
Apparently normal skin at the periphery of the lesions of various types of leprosy has been studied, for histological confinement of the disease. T-r cases showed, good confinement without any histological change in the normal skin, while 21.4% of BT cases, 42.8% of BB cases, 66.6% of BL cases and 80%'of LL cases showed some of the changes viz epidermal atrophy, subepidermal clear zone, acid fast bacilli, attempt at granuloma formation, diffuse lymphocytic infiltration and nerve involvement. Loss of confinement was directly proportional to the expected deficiency in the immune status of the patients from BT to.LL.
