An illness characterised by fever, arthralgia, myalgia, a macular erythematous rash, a sore throat and the appearance of atypical lymphocytes in the blood film is described in a 27-year-old homosexual man. There was serological evidence that this illness was due to the human T-cell lymphotropic virus Type III.

A vasculitic rash developed on the legs and arms of a 47 year old woman. Similar vasculitic lesions also erupted in a scar sustained ten years previously. Circulating immune complexes consisting of IgG were detected by Clq binding. We discuss the factors involved in the localization of vasculitic lesions, and in particular stress the role of microvascular injury.

We have investigated the presence of autoimmune-related diseases and autoantibodies in twenty-five men with lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA). These patients had a significantly higher incidence of autoimmune-related disorders than a control population and a higher incidence of autoantibodies than would be expected in the normal male population.
Erythema nodosum occurs more frequently than pyoderma gangrenosum in Crohn's disease. We report the occurrence of both lesions in a woman with Crohn's disease and the transformation of one to the other. Pyoderma gangrenosum has been described at the site of previous trauma in Crohn's disease and at the site of other skin conditions in other circumstances, but, to the best of our knowledge, actual progression from erythema nodosum to pyoderma gangrenosum has been reported on only one previous occasion in Crohn's disease.
