Cultures on Sabouraud medium from the leg ulcers of 50 patients were obtained: 24% of the lesions were infected by Candida species. The risk factors are analyzed. The disappearance of the yeasts after topical treatment does not consistently speed up the healing.
Two similar cases of disseminated infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae were observed at the same time. The patients presented with fever, arthralgia, tenosynovitis, cutaneous pustules of the extremities. In one case, N. gonorrhoeae has been recovered from vaginal discharge; in the other, bacteriological investigations failed. From a review of the literature, it appears that: (1) acral vesiculo-pustular lesions and tenosynovitis represent the most suggestive signs of the disease; (2) it is obviously important to repeat the bacteriological investigations; (3) biological data, included serology, are useless. However, immunofluorescence techniques might detect altered germs in the skin.
Atypical measles with high fever, pneumonitis, erythematous papular and pustular rash occurred in a 16-year-old girl who had been vaccinated with the inactivated (killed) virus 15 years ago.
A 90-year-old female presented with multiple nevoid basal cell epitheliomas, skeletal defects and jaw cysts. The syndrome is briefly revisited.
