A case with both contact urticaria and delayed-type contact allergy to chlorhexidine is presented. A review of the literature on hypersensitivity reactions of delayed and immediate type to this compound is given.
5 patients with allergic contact dermatitis caused by various paints were demonstrated to be sensitive to a cyclohexanone resin (C-R) present in the paints. Sensitization studies in guinea pigs with C-R and cyclohexanone showed one batch of C-R to be a sensitizer.

Epipodophyllotoxin (VP-16-213) was administered to 9 patients with mycosis fungoides in various stages, most of them in the advanced tumour stage. In 4 of the patients VP-16 was combined with cyclophosphamide. VP-16 alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide was capable of inducing remission initially in all cases, complete in 2, partial in 3 and improvement to a lesser degree in the remaining 5 patients, but it was unable to maintain the remission. The induced remission has to be upheld by other agents, possibly added to VP-16.
Prednimustine, a chlorambucil ester of prednisolone, was administered orally to 5 patients with mycosis fungoides in advanced tumour stage. Partial remission was obtained in 2 of the patients. However, we do not consider the agent to be particularly advantageous for the treatment of mycosis fungoides.
