Lichen planus with herpes zoster which showed generalized hyperpigmentation, plated papular eruption, fine scale and vesicular eruption on the right thigh were reported and the literatures of lichen planus were reviewed. The case was 41 years old man, who began to have itching, erythem and fine scale 6 years ago, but had no other symptom. Histopathologically, epidermis was hyperkeratotic, acanthotic and granular layer thickening and vesicular formation.

A case report of a 6p-year-old man with crokeratosis verruciformis on the dorsa of hands & forearms is presented. This case is unusual in that the patient had late onset of the lesions and lack of a family history of the condition. Literatures are reviewed and possible linkage with Darier's disease is discussed.

The study was made in order to investigate the present status of superficial dermatomycoses and incidence and frequency of the disease, sex distribution by the statistical survey and varieties of the causative organism by the mycological observation. The survey was made by out-patients of dermatology clinic of Seoul National University, and private clinic of Inchon, Jeonjoo, Kwangjoo, Pusan and Kyonggido provinces during 3 years, from 1972 to 1974. The results are as folIows: 1. Tinea(T.) cruris shows a increase and T. capitis shows a decrease in number as compared with those of during 1959. 2. Frequency of T. cruris shows more high in citizens than in a rustics, and more high in a rustics than citizens in those of T. capitis. 3. The strains were isolated by ordinary sabouraud's glucose agar media and obtained 4 species, 58 strains. A. Trichophyton rubrum was most common organism of superficial dermatomycoses (58.6%).b. Trichophyton ferrugineum was exclusive organism of T.capitis in or country.

The study was made in order to investigate the present status of superficial dermatomycoses and some changes on the frequency of the diseases, sex distribution and varieties of the causative organisms by the statistic and mycological observation. The survey was made by out-patients of Dermatology clinic of Seoul National University during 3 years, from 1967 to 1970. The results are as follows: 1. Tinea (T) capitis shows a great decrease (1/4) and T. cruris shows a increase in number as compared with those of during 1957-1960. 2. In T. capitis the number of male cases is equal to that of female cases. It is remarkable difference that the ratio of sex distinetion showed 25 males against to one female during 1967 to 1970. 3. The strains were isolated by ordinary sabouraud's glucose agar media and obtained 4 species, 125 strains. a. Tr. rubrum was most predominant organism of T. pedis & manum, T. cruris, T. corporis and Onychomycosis in Seoul districs. b. Tr. ferrugineum was most common organism of T. capitis (80%).

It is well known that there are many kinds of strains of fungi in the atmosphcre and important problems of the relationship between these microorganisms and human bcing. The survcy vas performed to find the source of fungal infection by the determination of pathogenic fungi at the sites of much frequented travelIed, very confused perdestrian traffic, contaminated indoors of hospital huilding. For the purose of clctermining the aerial fungi collected at the selected areas in clinic of Seoul National University Haspital (out-patient roorn and corridor, kitchen room, corridor of operating room, pharmacy floor, supply room and in-patient rooms) by sampling method of gravity seilimentation by 5 minutes exposure of Sabourands glucose agar plate (5cm. diarmeter dish) and identified the fungi macroscopically and microscopicalIy. The rusults are as follows; 1. From 8 indoor ares of hospital, 441 colonies were sampled and average number of funga1 co!onies in each of the agar plate was computed to 3,675 colonies. Total generas abtained by cultivation were 9 generas, and the common fungi in air were hormodcndrurn(18. 59%), penicillium(17.68%) and aspergilIus (16.55%) in crder frequency. 3. No pathogenic fungi were isolated, and it is assumed that there is no radical problem of infection source in hospita.I indoors practicalIy.
