[Toxic epidermal necrolysis. Therapy in ICU with intravenous immunoglobulins in a case].

We report a 27 years old homosexual male with AIDS that was admitted to the ICU dehydrated, with fever and severe malaise. He had irregular bullae, an extensive purpuric exanthema and a zone of epidermic detachment in the right arm. A toxic epidermal necrolysis was diagnosed and therapy with i.v. immunoglobulins was started. After four days of treatment, bullous lesions disappeared and the extension of exanthema decreased. Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a potentially fatal disease and the use of intravenous immunoglobulins for this condition has been reported as successful.

Primary cutaneous angioplasmocellular hyperplasia.

Two cases of solitary nodules on the skin of the trunk of young adults showing a peculiar pattern of proliferation of blood vessels and a mixed inflammatory infiltrate with predominance of polyclonal plasma cell infiltration are presented. Follow-up of these patients after complete surgical excision revealed no recurrence. We interpreted the lesions within the morphologic spectrum of plasma cell infiltrates of the skin to be reactive and/or hyperplastic, which we term primary cutaneous angioplasmocellular hyperplasia.

Free laminar thin band graft--a surgical therapeutic variant in the treatment of leg ulcers.

For the past 2 years, we have been using a surgical technique for the treatment of leg ulcers caused by chronic venous insufficiency. This consists of a type of graft biologically and technically intermediate between Reverdin and Thiersh's types. We have named it the "free laminar thin band graft." In contrast to the Thiersh graft, this simple surgical technique requires little equipment, and it can be done quickly and easily as an office procedure, with little risk to the patient. In addition, it is a low cost procedure. In our experience with this technique, healing time is shorter and lesions recur later than with the Reverdin graft. The authors describe the surgical method and report a clinical case.
