STUDIES
Direct immunofluorescence as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in pemphigus
Kaur Jagjit Sethi, AJ Kanwar, S Kaur, S Sehgal
November-December 1992, 58(6):379-383
Direct immunoflurescence was carried out in 20 patients with pemphigus vulgaris and repeated at intervals of 3 months in each patient on 3 occasions or earlier in patients who had a relapse. No correlation was observed between the disease activity and positive DIF. Complement deposition showed an increase or reappeared in patients who had a relapse. It is thus a better indication of an imminent relapse.

Dapsone syndrome
RN Gokhale, RR Sule, BM Gharpure
November-December 1992, 58(6):376-378
Dapsone syndrome is a hypersensitivitiy reaction occurring within first 6 weeks of starting treatment with dapsone. Out of 2014 leprosy cases receiving multidrug treatment (MDT) in Sassoon General Hospital Pune, 18 cases (0.89%) developed dapsone syndrome. Fever, skin lesions, and lymphadenopathy were present in all cases. Abnormal liver function tests were detected in 13 cases. Arthralgia was present in 12 cases while conjunctivitis was present only in 1 case. Combination of rifampicin with dapsone as a part of MDT may be one of the most important factors in precipitating a rise in dapsone hyper-sensitivity.

In vitro susceptibility of dermatophytes to itraconazole
V Pankajalakshmi Venugopal, Taralakshmi Venugopal
November-December 1992, 58(6):368-371
The in vitro activity of itraconazole was investigated against 88 clinical isolates of dermatophytes. The isolates included
Microsporum
canis-50, M.
audovinii-5, Trichophyton rubrum-6, T. mentagraphytes-5 T.violaceum-12, T.simii-5, T verrucosum-1, T.soundanense-1, T. erinacei-1
and
Epidermophyton flooccosum-2
isolates. The results were compared with that of ketoconazole and griseofulvin. Itraconazole was more active, inhibiting 85 of the 88 isolates at a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml (MIC range 0.01-1 µg/ml). Ketoconazole (MIC range 0.1-10 µg/ml) required 2.5 µg/ml and 5 µg/ml of the drug respectively for inhibition of all the isolates except one of Microsporum species.

V Panvelkar, S Talwar, VD Tiwari
November-December 1992, 58(6):372-375
Over a period of 5 years, 490 patients with vitiligo were treated with either steroid or psoralen and their response to therapy was observed. Koebner's negative patients showed satisfactory response to psoralen. Patients who were Koebner's positive initially and then turned negative after steroid therapy showed better response to combination of steroids and psoralen.
