Tumoral calcinosis in England.

Two cases of tumoral calcinosis are presented in patients living in England. The clinical and pathological features are described and attention is drawn to the need to consider exotic diseases in patients who have originated from or lived in the tropics.The cause of tumoral calcinosis is not known. It may be a metabolic disease of obscure aetiology but local trauma often appears to be a factor in its development.

Skin tests with influenza virus.

Skin reactions have been produced in normal subjects by the injection of highly purified influenza A and B viruses. The reactions reached a maximum at 24-48 hr. and the histological pattern was compatible with a delayed hypersensitivity reaction. There was no close relation between skin test results and circulating antibodies. Twenty-seven subjects were challenged intranasally with attenuated influenza A (H3N2): 5 of 14 skin-test-negative subjects were infected, but none of 13 skin-test-positive subjects.
