Fatal cytomegalic inclusion disease. Associated skin manifestations in a renal transplant patient.

A case of cytomegalovirus-induced vasculitis led to skin ulcerations in a renal transplant patient. Light and electron microscopy revealed inclusion bodies and viral particles, respectively, characteristic of cytomegalovirus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of cytomegalovirus-induced vasculitis producing skin ulcerations, and it illustrates another of the protean manifestations of cytomegalovirus inclusion disease that may have important clinical implications.

Biphasic local reaction to a new insulin (U-100).

The phenomenon of localized insulin reaction is described and illustrated by the report of a case. The patient's unusual response consisted of an "early" and a "late" phase to single-peak and single-component insulins. No definite immunologic mechanism was established on the basis of immunologic studies or from histologic examination of skin biopsies.

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis of the skin. A new clinocopathologic entity.

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is a necrotizing arteritis primarily affecting the lungs but also found in the skin, kidneys, central nervous system, and other extra-pulmonary sites. Cutaneous involvement occurred in 45% of the cases described by Liebow in his original series. Light microscopy studies were performed. The IgA and IgG levels were slightly decreased and the IgE level was elevated. Cell-mediated immunity was impaired. No viruses were isolated or identified by immunofluorescence. A man had cutaneous lesions as the first sign of lymphomatoid granulomatosis.
