Extramammary paget's disease is uncommon intraepithelial carcinoma of the skin and frequently associated with a subjacent or a regionally proximate carcinoma. We have experienced a case of extramammary Paget's disease affecting 71 year-old man. The patient has been suffered from a well demarcated, and slowly growing erythematous plaque on the left suprapubic area of 3 years. A biopsy specimen reveals infiltration of typical Paget's cells within the epidermis and the adnexa. We review the literature briefly.

To ease the convinience of indentification of common dermatophytes in Korea and to check the possibility of diseovering new species not yet reported in Korea, several species of dermatophytes were cultured on potato dextrose agar(PDA) at the room temperature. They were 46 strains isolated from Korea and 6 domestic strains from a foreign country. Gross and microscopic findings of their colonies were examined. The colonial morphology and microscopic appearance were compared with those of the same strains on Sabouraud dextrose agar(SDA) and corn meal agar(CMA). The results were as follows Typical T. rubrum and its varisnts showed characteristic wine red pigmentation which was rapid, diffuse and uniform, typically arrsnged microconidia were better on PDA. T. mentagrophytes showed yellow-brown pigmentation which were more rapid and darker in the center with gradual fading to the periphery. The mscroconidia, grape-like clusters of microconidia and spiral hyphae were seen better on SDA. T. tonsurans showed characteristic mahogsny colored pigmentation, ballooned microconidia and macroconidia which were seen better on PDA, but diffusible pigmentation of agar were present on SDA only. The gross morphology of T. verracosum were similar on PDA and SDA, but macroconidia were seen better on PDA and CMA, and tortuous hyphae with antler-like branching were seen better on SDA. T. rnegninii showed green-brown pigmentation which appeared rapidty and prominently on PDA. T. rubrum-like microconidia were seen better on PDA and CMA, but in SDA only hyphae were seen. The gross morpholgy of M. canis was similar on PDA and SDA, but spindle shaped macroconidia were seen more typically on PDA. The gross morphology and microscopic appearance of M. gypseum were very similar in all three media. M. ferruginenm showed characteristic rust colored pigmentation and bamboo hyphae which were seen more typically on PDA. The gross morphalogy of E floceosum were similar on PDA and SDA, but cluster formation of club shaped macroconidia were seen more prominently on PDA and CMA. These findings suggest that PDA is a mare convincing media t6Cifferentiate among dermatophytes belonging to genus Trichopkyton.

This series represents 128 cases of acute gonococcal urethritis treated with doxycycline at the Seoul Red Cross Hospital from the 1st. May to.5th, Oct., 1969. Results of this treatment were divided in three groups: Group I ; Single dose of doxycycline, 300 mg. was administered for this group. 36 cases fall into this category. Cure rate for this group was 36%. Group II; Doxycycline, 200mg. was given on the 1st treatment day and daily dose of 100 mg. for 4 ensuing days. 42 cases were included to this group. Cure rate was 72%. Group III Daily dose of 200 mg. was administered for the remainders, 50 cases for 5 consecutive days. Cure rate was 91%. It was concluded that 200 mg. of doxycycline daily for 5 days dose regime can be recommended for the treatment of acute gonococcal urethritis, especially in cases allergic to penicillin or in which penicillin treatment fails. No anaphylactic shock or some other undesirable side reaction in administering this drug was experienced.

Antiseptics are substances that kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms when applied to living tissue. They must be effective against microorganisms but must also retain their activity in presence of body fluids without being harmful locally or systemically. Among many antiseptics, Betadine(R) has been widely used because of its low toxicity and high germicidal efficacy. We reported 2 cases of allergic contact dermatitis to Betadine(R) in surgical patients. They had eczematous eruption along the Betadine(R) applying sites. Path tests Betadine(R) confirmed the diagnosis.
