Ranjan C Raval, FE Bilimoria, Himanshu A Patel
May-June 1995, 61(3):137-139
PMID
:20952926
Fifty cases with chronic idiopathic urticaria of more than 3 months duration were selected and divided into two groups. Group ΆA' was given 10 mg loratadine once daily, while group ‘B’ was given pheniramine maleate 25 mg, twice daily for one month. All patients were followed for one month more. 48% excellent response was observed in group ‘A’ while 16% excellent response was observed in group ‘B’. Good response was observed in 24% of patients in group ‘A’, while in group ‘B’ 16% of patients had good response.

Herpes zoster occurring at two different sites in the same individual at the same time, involving more than two segments at each site has rarely been reported. We recently observed two such cases. The first patient was a HIV-infected 20-year-old haemophiliac who had zoster involving the distribution of the right C4,5,6 and left L2,3,4 dermatomes and the second one was a 50-year-old renal transplant recipient on immunosuppressive drugs who developed zoster at left C3,4,5 and left T7.8.9.

Association Of alopecia areata, vitiligo and pemphigus vulgaris
Arun C Inamadar
May-June 1995, 61(3):157-158
PMID
:20952934
A 50-year-old female had vitiligo and alopecia universalis. She developed pemphigus vulgaris with a history of recent increase in the size of the vitiligo patch. Corticosteroid therapy controlled the pemphigus vulgaris, halted the extension of the vitiligo lesion and promoted regrowth of hair.The coexistence of these three diseases in the same patient lends credence to the contention that autoimmunity plays a role in the pathogenesis of these diseases.

Study of formaldehyde-induced fluorescence in cutaneous melanomas and naevi
AB Harke, PG Thakar, SD Deshumkh
May-June 1995, 61(3):140-142
PMID
:20952927
We have investigated 16 cases of cutaneous malignant melanomas and 34 cases of various types of neavi for formaldehyde-induced fluorescence. All cutaneous malignant melanomas (100%), but only two out of 34 naevi (5.88%) showed FIF positivity. The significance of this finding as a predictor of biological behaviour is discussed.
