Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis.

Two cases of rarely observed granulomatous prostatitis are presented. Unspecific clinical symptoms and a close similarity in clinical course to prostatic adenoma or adenocarcinoma may be misleading and produce severe diagnostic difficulties even for an experienced urologist. Close cooperation with a pathomorphologist is necessary for their avoidance. Relying on published evidence the authors briefly analyse this nosological entity, the aetiology of which is still controversial.

Dermatomycoses and their etiology in the material of the Dermatological Department in Lódź, Poland.

In the period of 1982-1988 mycological examinations were carried out on 4,657 patients suspected of having dermatomycoses. In approximately 60% of patients infections were localized on the feet and hands and in approximately 30% other regions of the glabrous skin were involved. Before treatment, 5,725 examinations were made. The diagnosis was confirmed mycologically in 30% of the cases, most often in tinea cruris (51%) and chronic paronychia (60%). In more than half of the cases the isolated fungi were dermatophytes, the most frequent species being Tr. mentagrophytes, followed by Tr. rubrum and E. floccosum. Among the other fungi, more than 50% were C. albicans and other Candida species.
