A clinico-cycological study on tinea pedis at Ranchi
Kumar Arun Singh, Kumar Sudhir Srivastava
March-April 1994, 60(2):68-71
Clinical diagnosis of tinea pedis was made in 51(0.45%) of 11,386 consecutive patients, attending the skin OPD of Rajendra Medical College and Hospital, Ranchi. Direct microscopy revealed fungus in 66.6% of cases, while, 37(72.5%) were positive by culture, which included 8(15.5%) KOH negative cases also. This disparity as well as the factors responsible for low prevalence of tinea pedis have been discussed.
Trichophyton rubrum
was recovered predominantly from the dry, scaly lesions, and also constituted the bulk (48.6%) of isolates as a whole.
Trichophyton mentagrophytes
lay next to it, and was isolated mostly from the vesicular or macerated lesions. Candida sp. and
Epidermophyton floccosum
happened to be the other causatives identified.

Of these 9 patients had only tinea penis. 10 had only scrotal involvement while 24 had both. All the 54 patients had tinea cruris. Maximum (70.37%) patients belonged to 21-40 years age group among those who had dermatophytosis of the penis and / or scrotum. Trichophyton spp. was the commonest dermatophyte found on culture.

Immunological study in vitiligo and contact depigmentation
RR Mittal, R Popli, JS Jassal, D Kumar
March-April 1994, 60(2):92-94
Tuberculin response, peripheral T-lymphocytes counts and serum immunoglobulin levels were studied in 28 cases of vitiligo and 27 cases of contact depigmentation (CD). There were 50% reactors in vitiligo versus 92.6% in CD. Peripheral T-lymphocyte counts were low in vitiligo (38.1%) versus normal (55.8%) and in CD (53.4%) and the difference was statistically highly significant (p<0.001). Immunoglobulin were abnormal except in 3 cases in vitiligo and 2 cases of CD and difference in immunoglobulin levels in both conditions was statistically non-significant. IgA alone was decreased in 3 cases of vitiligo. It is concluded that there is suppression of cell mediated immune response in vitiligo versus normal in CD.

KVR Chari, MA Tutakne, R Dhir
March-April 1994, 60(2):76-78
This subject was undertaken to confirm the efficacy of norfloxacin in acute gonorrhoea and to note the relapse if any during the follow up period of 3 months. 27 male patients suffering from acute gonorrhoea were treated with 800 mgs of norfloxacin as single oral dose. In all cases, gonococci disappeared from urethral smears by 8 hours, urethral discharge subsided by 72 hrs, urine on naked eye examination cleared in 4 days except in 1 case and burning micturition subsided by 7 days. Cure rate was 100% in the study. No relapse was found at the end of follow up of 3 months. No adverse reactions were observed to norfloxacin except headache in 2 cases. Norfloxacin was safe and effective in the treatment of acute gonorrhoea.
