[Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome)].

The Authors report a case of eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome). The patient was a 61 year old woman, diabetic, with a cardio-respiratory insufficiency and a maniaco-depressive psycosis. She presented, on the upper arms and trunk, a cutaneous eruption of erythematous-urticarial plaques, that histopathologically were characterized by a dermic leukocyte population, with a prevalence of eosinophils, distributed in the perivascular site. Laboratory tests revealed eosinophilia and circulating immune complexes. The etiopathogenesis of the disease is discussed as is the possible role of immune complexes in eosinophilic cellulitis.

[Churg-Strauss syndrome: is it a rare disease?].

We describe four patients with Churg-Strauss syndrome admitted to the hospital in 1988. Some clinical and histological features of particular relief are present in these cases. All patients had been treated with corticosteroids and they are now in remission. Our work suggests that Churg-Strauss syndrome is not a rare disease and that an early diagnosis and appropriate therapy may influence favourably at least long term survival.

[Current chemotherapeutic trends in the treatment of malignant lymphomas with special reference to Hodgkin's disease].

Sequential or simulatineous use is made of four types of antiproliferative drugs in the modern treatment of malignant lymphoma: alkylating drugs, including procarbazine; Vinca rosea alkaloids; antibiotics; corticosteroids. The simulataneous employment of two or more drugs appears to give best results, though it cannot eradicate the disease; this is possible with radiation or surgery in the early stages. Chemotherapy is nevertheless without alternative in the more advanced stages. Long periods of even complete remission may thus be achieved.
