[Reversible increase in photosensitivity to UV-B caused by St. John's wort extract].

A 61-year-old woman with depression developed recurring elevated itching erythematous lesions in light-exposed areas after taking St. John's Wort-extract for three years. Routine patchtesting did not reveal any relevant reactions and photopatch testing was negative. Using a systemic oral photoprovocation test with St. John's Wort, we were able to demonstrate a decrease of the MED-UVB which was reversible after withdrawal of the medication.

[Tuberculosis cutis colliquativa in lymph node tuberculosis].

We report on the case of a 75-year-old woman patient with tuberculosis colliquativa cutis (scrofuloderma). The skin lesions had developed from a cervical lymph node tuberculosis. The diagnosis was made by culturing biopsied skin and underlying lymph node. Under a triple drug regimen the skin lesions cleared within 2 months. Lymph nodes appeared to be normal after 6 months. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to scrofuloderma and cervical lymph node tuberculosis are discussed.
