[Mycetoma of the foot].

A forty-year-old woman suffering from maduromycosis of the right sole is described with a disease history of 17 years. After a contusion and surgery for fibroma she developed an edema on the skin of the right sole, then ulcers with purulent discharge. She was repeatedly treated on an outpatient basis and in hospital by surgeons, phthisiologist, and dermatologist for osteomyelitis, tuberculosis of the bones, and Kaposi's sarcoma without effect. The diagnosis of maduromycosis of the sole was confirmed by laboratory examinations and histologically by detecting Actinomyces elements. Since conservative therapy has proved ineffective, surgical treatment was recommended.

Actinomycetales Infections↗

[Ashy dermatosis].

Five patients with ashy dermatitis are described, aged 6 to 14, one boy and four girls. The process is characterized by dirty grayish or ash-gray-colored maculae on the skin of the trunk and limbs. These maculae do not tend to fuse, nor exfoliate; they are not associated with any subjective sensations. Thorough examinations have not revealed any osteomuscular or visceral abnormalities. The disease runs a benign course, and only the cosmetic defect worries the patients.

[Cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis infection resulting from the importation of sandflies via transportation means].

78 cases of a rural skin leishmaniasis type registered in the Tadjik SSR over a 10-year period have been divided into 3 groups according to the nature of epidemiological chain: 1) imported infection, when the inhabitants of Tadjikistan were infected in the southern parts of the Uzbek and Turkmen SSR; 2) infection of patients in borderline regions caused by sandflies [correction of mosquitoes] carried from Afghanistan by dust storms and strong winds; 3) local infection as a result of exploration of new lands in deserted areas of southern Tadjikistan previously known for endemic foci. 6 other cases are described: one case (1983), when a woman, citizen of Dushanbe, was infected by sandflies [correction of mosquitoes] brought in a helicopter from Afghanistan and the other familial case, when 5 persons were infected by sandflies [correction of mosquitoes] brought in a car from a borderland to an Afghanistan area.
