Cutaneous vasculitis.

In this paper the current concepts of cutaneous vasculitis are reviewed, with emphasis on clinical patterns, strict pathologic criteria and mechanisms of injury. A plea is made to classify vasculitis not as syndromes but (a) according to organ involvement (limited cutaneous or complicated multisystem), (b) by cause, (c) by pathologic description and (d) by anatomic depth and type of vessel involvement.

Infections caused by Trichophyton raubitschekii: clinical and epidemiological features.

Thirty-eight cases of human infection with the recently described dermatophyte species Trichophyton raubitschekii were studied and a description is presented of the clinical and epidemiological features of infection with this organism. Results revealed the usual preponderance of males (2:1) but a high proportion of individuals of Asian origin (60.5%) in the infected population. Tinea corporis, tinea cruris and tinea pedis were the most common infections. T. raubitschekii differed significantly from the more common Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes in being more strongly associated with tinea corporis. Some T. raubitschekii infections produced inflammatory lesions while others clinically resembled those caused by the related species T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes. T. raubitschekii could be distinguished from related species by means of special mycological procedures in the laboratory.
