Linear porokeratosis in two families with disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis.

Two case reports of linear porokeratosis occurring in individuals or families with disseminated, superficial, actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) are presented. Linear porokeratosis and DSAP may be different expressions of one dominantly inherited condition. We reviewed the clinical features of linear porokeratosis and its association with other forms of porokeratosis. The linear form has a potential for carcinomatous change.

Tests to establish the diagnosis in cholinergic urticaria.

Methods for establishing the diagnosis in cholinergic urticaria are reviewed and compared. Provocation by exercise or hot bath is more effective than local provocation by intradermal tests. Of the intradermal tests, responses to nicotine acid tartrate and acetyl beta methylcholine chloride are positive only in patients with the more severe, readily induced eruptions. Furthermore, intradermal testing is not always reproducible in the same patient. In our patients, exercise proved the simplest, most effective diagnostic test.
