Vipul Chopra, VK Jain
November 2000, 66(6):299-300
PMID

Fifty patients suffering from pityriasis versicolor were treated with either 2% ketoconazole cream (25 patients) or 1% terbinafine cream (25 patients). Diagnosis was confirmed by microscopic potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination and either of the cream was applied once daily for a duration of 2 weeks. Global assessment was done at the end of treatment with mycological and clinical cure rate of 88% and 96% in ketoconazole and terbinafine treated groups respectively. After a follow up of 3 months the relapse in ketoconazole group was 13.53% and 8.33% in terbinafine group with no side effects.

SHORT COMMUNICATION

RR Mittal, Jastinder Kullar, PS Sethi
November 2000, 66(6):304-305
PMID
:20877109
Two cases of Brunsting Perry cicatricial pemphigoid are being reported for their rarity. Initially as a clearcut clinical diagnosis was not possible, both cases were labelled as a typical vesiculo-bullous disorder. Later only after repeated biopsies, dermoepidermal junction split, fibrosis and perivascular mononuclear infiltrate were seen and a diagnosis of cicatricial pemphigoid was established which was further confirmed by immunoflurescent studies. A favourable response to dapsone was observed in both cases.
