[Epidemiology of endemic non-venereal treponematoses].

The occurring resurgence of endemic treponematoses warrant the renewal of WHO mass campaigns. These various infections, pinta, yaws, bejel and endemic syphilis, are due to a treponema apparently identical to the venereal syphilis one. These different treponematoses do act upon epidemiology of venereal syphilis. The recent outbreak of treponematoses justify the current researches in the development of a treponemal vaccine.

Effects of intradermal gamma-interferon in cutaneous leishmaniasis.

The clinical and immunological evolution of lesions in cutaneous leishmaniasis was assessed after treatment with human recombinant gamma interferon (rIFN-gamma). 3 weeks after rIFN-gamma treatment of lesions due to Leishmania braziliensis guyanensis, 12/13 had become smaller compared with 6/13 control lesions; only 4 treated lesions were free of parasites. 9 of 13 L tropica lesions treated with rIFN-gamma resolved completely within 4-8 weeks of treatment. An acute inflammatory reaction around treated lesions was more common in lesions due to L tropica. There were no other local or systemic adverse reactions. Histological and immunohistochemical studies indicate that local application of rIFN-gamma enhances cell-mediated immune responses and thus promotes healing of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Deep mycoses in Amazon region.

Patients with deep mycoses diagnosed in dermatologic clinics of Manaus (state of Amazonas, Brazil) were studied from November 1973 to December 1983. They came from the Brazilian states of Amazonas, Pará, Acre, and Rondônia and the Federal Territory of Roraima. All of these regions, with the exception of Pará, are situated in the western part of the Amazon Basin. The climatic conditions in this region are almost the same: tropical forest, high rainfall, and mean annual temperature of 26C. The deep mycoses diagnosed, in order of frequency, were Jorge Lobo's disease, paracoccidioidomycosis, chromomycosis, sporotrichosis, mycetoma, cryptococcosis, zygomycosis, and histoplasmosis.

[Jorge Lobo disease. Study of 2 cases with disseminated lesions and plantar invasion].

The Author describes two cases of Jorge Lobo's disease, with disseminated lesions and plantar invasion, originating from Cruzeiro do Sul, state of Acre and Manaus, state of Amazonas. In both cases, the disease was of long duration, 30 and 55 years respectively. In the second patient described the disease began 9 years before Jorge Lobo described this condition. In spite of the duration of the illness in this patient 76 years of age, he was in good physical condition without any apparent suggesting dissemination of the mycosis.
