Chemical peeling with phenol: For the treatment of stable vitiligo and alopecia areata
SS Savant, Shaila Shenoy
March-April 1999, 65(2):93-98
PMID
:20885062
Chemical peeling with 88% phenol was carried out on 142 siles of stable vitiligo (hairy-126, non hairy-16) and on 69 sites of alopecia areata (AA). After cleansing and defalting.phenol was applied on affected areas till a uniform frost appeared. On healing,all the lesions of vitiligo showed perifollicular pigmentation in hairy areas and perilesional repigmentation in non hairy areas. These were further treated with PUVA/PUVASOL. After the healing, 82.5% of hairy sites and 81.3% of non hairy sites showed repigmentation. In cases of AA, patients developed vellus hair. In AA, 72.5% had good regrowth and 27.5% had poor response. Side effects seen were hypopigmentation (58 AA), hyperpigmentation (11 AA), persistent erythema (42 vitiligo,28 AA), demarcation lines (4 AA), secondary bacterial infection (2 vitiligo, 5AA) and superficial scarring (2 vitiligo, 7AA). The wounding action of phenol is useful to repigment the vitiligo patches and for induction of regrowth of hair in alopecia areata.

Dapsone versus corticosteroids in lichen planus
Adarsh Chopra, RR Mitta, Bupinder Kaur
March-April 1999, 65(2):66-68
PMID
:20885048
Seventy-five patients with Lichen Planus (LP) were enrolled from out- patient department for screening the therapeutic effect of dapsone. patients were divided into two groups of 50 and 25. In regimen-1 (RI) 25 patients were given local corticosteroids and oral chlorpheniramine maleate. In regimen-2 (R2) 50 patients were given oral dapsone and chlorpheniramine maleate and topical coconut oil. It was found that total efficacy of R2 was 18% higher than R1.

Diagnosis of superficial mycoses by direct microscopy - A statistical evaluation
JC Mohanty, SK Mohanty, RC Sahoo, A Sahoo, CH N R Praharaj
March-April 1999, 65(2):72-74
PMID
:20885050
A mycological study was undertaken in 250 cases of superficial mycotic infections, which included 210 cases of dermatophytosis, 18 cases of cutaneous candidiasis and 22 cases of tinea versicolor. The scrapings from all the cases were subjected to direct microscopic examination in 10% KOH solution and culture was done in case of candidiasis and dermatophytosis. Out of 250 cases direct microscopy was positive (KOH +ve) in 88 cases of dermatophytosis, 11 cases of candidiasis and all cases of tinea versicolor. Culture for dermatophytes and candida species in SDA medium were positive in 76 and 9 cases respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and the overall efficiency of the direct microscopy in the diagnosis of superficial mycotic infections were calculated to be 89.41%, 83.90%, 76.76%, 93.02% and 85.96% respectively.

Chromoblastomycosis masquerading as palmo-plantar psoriasis
TS S Lakshmi, Gnaneswar Rao, A Vijay Shekhar
March-April 1999, 65(2):83-84
PMID
:20885056
A 8-year-old boy presented with scaly plaques of both soles and left palm of 4 year duration. The plaques were well defined scaly, fissured and hyperkeratotic resembling palmo-plantar psoriasis. KOH preparation of the scrapings revealed round, brown, thick-walled bodies with planate division. Grey black, velvety folded colonies were seen in culture on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar. Lacto phenol cotton blue preparation revealed Fonsecaea pedrosoi as the cause of chromoblastnmycosis.

Keratosis punctata palmaris et plantaris
Sandip Mohanty, Vijay Gandhi, MC Baruah
March-April 1999, 65(2):90-91
PMID
:20885060
A 30-year-old man presented with multiple keratotic papules on palms and soles. The lesions started at the age of 15 from soles. Family history was positive with members in preceding two generations being affected. Cutaneous examination revealed multiple discrete hyperkeratotic papules of variable size on palms and soles. Parakeratosis was absent in histopathology and this ruled out the diagnosis of porokeratosis punctata palmaris et plantaris.

A bacterial study of pyoderma in Belgaum
Jyothi M Nagmoti, CS Patil, SC Metgud
March-April 1999, 65(2):69-71
PMID
:20885049
One hundred children with primary pyoderma and fifty healthy children were included in the study. The swabs collected from the lesions were cultured on various media. The colonies were identified by conventional methods. Commonest isolate was Staph. aureus (45%), followed by Strept. pyogens (35%), E.coli (5%), Citrobacter (1%) and Staph and Strept. together (14%). Staphylococci showed highest resistance to ampicillin (85%), followed by penicillin (78%), tetracycline (40%) and ciprofloxacin (15%). Streptococci and other Gram-negative isolates were sensitive to most of the drugs. Most strains of staphylococci were nontypable (42.2%) suggesting the possible emergence of new strains. Among typable ones,. phage group-1 was commonest. All streptococcal isolates belonged to serogroup-A and a significant carriage of Staph.aureus in normal children ( 15%) was observed.
