There are many reports about the deposition of immunoglobulins and complement by direct immunofluorescence(DIF) in the lesion of scabies. The authors investigated the immunoglobulins and C, for the purpose of studying the immunologic reactivity of the host to scabies mites by DIF. The results are summerized as follows: Total number of the cases investigated were 20 (18 males, 2 females), of whom 11 were in their third decade of age. The clinical forms of the tested lesions were papular type (7 cases), nodular type (12 cases), and Norwegian type (1 case). The durations of the patients were mostly within 2 months, but was 9 months in 1 case of nodular type, Deposition of immunoglobulin and C, was demonstrated by DIF in 10 of 12 cases (83. 3%) of nodular type, and 1 of 7 cases (14. 3%) of papular type. The Norwegian type showed negative results. There seemed to be no relation between the duration of scabies and positive rates. Of 20 cases tested, immunoglobulin and C, were deposited in the vascular wall in 11 lesions (55%), and at the dermoepidermal junction in 3 lesions (15%). While in 1 of 7 cases of papular type both IgM and C, were observed, IgM and C, were noted in 7 and 9, respectively, in 12 cases of nodular type.

This report presents a case of a 17-year-old-girl who developed a, Kaposis varicelliforrn eruption(eczema herpeticum) during oral prednisolone therapy in order to control pemphigus foliaceus. Diagnosis was made by the history, clinical feature and histologic examination. Within 24 hours after the initiation of therapy with ribavirin(Viramid), new lesions had ceased to develop.

Isolation of Microsporum canis from home environment was carried out for 30 tinea capitis patients infected by M, canis. M. canis was isolated in 84.2-100% of patients caps, mattresses, clothes and pillows and families' clothes. The greatest mean number of M. canis colonies per petri dish was found in the patients pillows and followed by caps, mattresses, outerwear, and underwear. Mean number of M. canis colonies in the clothes of mothers, grandmothers, brothers, sisters and roommates of patients was smaller than that of the M. canis colonies in the clothes of patients but greater than that isolated from the clothes of other family members. Frequency of isolation and mean number of colonies decreased drarnatically after 2 weeks therapy and rarely isolated after 6 weeks therapy. M. canis was isolated in 100% of the house dust of patients. Isolation index was greater in the house dust of patients with concomittant infection of other family members and with lesions of scaly and inflammatory type. M. canis was isolated from cats and goat of patients by the hair brush technique.

Actinic reticuloid is a rare, chronic photosensitivity dermatosis with clinical and histologic femtures resembling a cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Phototesting in these patients typically reveals extreme sensitivity to UVB, to UVA, and sometimes to visible light. has site of lymphomatoid histologic appearance, actinic reticuloid is now regarded as a histologic arant of chronic actinic dermatitis, which is the spectriam of several photosensitivity dermatosis, delet to its benign course and transition to or from other photosensitivity dermatosis. We present a case of actinic veticuloid in 58-year-old male, who has severely edematous infiltrated lichenified erytherratous patches on sun-exposed skin, lynptmatoid histologic features with selective T cell infiltrat,ion, and selective photosensitivity to UV.

Epiderniologic description of the tinea capitis of adults was made for the cases detected in Taegu city for 11 years from January 1978 to December 1988. 1. Totalnumber of adult patients(20 years or older) were 41(2.0%) out of 2,029 cases of all tiena capitis. Among 41 patients, 34 cases were detected between 1983 and 1988. 2. Clinically 24 patients were superficial tinea capitis and 17 patients were kerion celsi. 3. Age of the patients ranged from 21 to 85 years with an average of 58.5 years and mode interval of 61-70 years. Patients over 50 years of age accounted for 70.7% of all csses. 4. Sex distribution of the cases was 39 females(95.1%) and 2 males(4.9%). 5. Causative agents isolated from the patients were Microsporum canis in 36 cases, Trichophyton verrucosum in 2 cases, T. mentagrophytes, T. ferrugineum and T. rubrum in 1 case, respectively. 6. Solitary lesion was most common and alopecia was not prominent in most of the cases. The most frequent site of involvement was frontal and posterior scalp. At initial exarnination, 5 cases were misdiagnosed as seborreic dermatitis and 1 case as multiple folliculitis. 7. Sources of infection were presurned to be cat in ll cases, cattle in 2 cases and the rests were unidentified. Interfarnilial infection was observed in 5 cases.
