This is to describe a neonatal hepatitis with pericellular hepatic fibrosis and Mallory bodies in a sero-positive infant for IgM anti-CMV. A necropsy of the liver revealed severe heaptocellular swelling with many intracytoplasmic hyaline bodies, pronounced fibrosis of a creeping type, bile stasis with ductular proliferation, and the lack of parenchymal regeneration. These microscopical changes of the liver resembled those of Indian Childhood Cirrhosis (ICC). In the present case the patient's serum IgM anti-CMV is the only clue for the etiological diagnosis.

Norwegian scabies is a rare clinical variant of human infestation with Sarcoptes sabiei var, hominis, distinguished from the common form of scabies by the presence of remarkable hyperkeratotic scaly crusted skin lesions. We report two cases of Norwegian scabies occuring in a 25-year-old man with merital retardation and in a 9-year-old boy with aplastic anemia, The first case is characterized. by an extensive hyperkeratotic thickening and crusting of the dorsa of hands, knee 8: elbow joints. There is also subungual accumulation of horny rlebris with nail distortion. Histologically, the epidermis shows a mite in straturn comeurn and mild acanthosis in stratum malpighii. Immunoperoxidase for Ig G,M,A is not stained in the clermoepiderrnal junction and capillary wall of upper dermis. The second case shows hyperkeratotic scaly papules and p]aques on the hands, feet, extremities and trunk. 1'he diagnosis vvas confirrned by the demonstration of adults, nymphs, larvas and eggs of Sarcoptes scabiei con the KOH examination of the skin scrapings. hey l3'ords: Norwegian scabies, Mental retardation, Aplastic anemia

It has been well recognized that the various cutaneous manifestations associated with liver diseases. A clinical study was made of 255 patients (AVH84, LC70, HC41, CAH26, CPH23, AH11) with the liver diseases at Yeungnam University Hospital during the periods from May to November, 1985. The authors classified the cutaneous manifestations into 7 groups according to pathogenesis, and compared them with other reports. The results were as follows: 1. In 255 patients with various liver diseases, 161 patients (63%) showed the various cutaneous manifestations. 2. The various cataneous manifestations were jaundice and/or pruritus (43.1%), vascular changes (39.6%), allergic manifestations (10.6%), nail changes (5.1%), hormone-induced changes (4.3%), pigmentary changes (3.5%) and others (2.4%) in that order. 3. Cutaneous manifestations were associated most frequently with liver cirrhosis (1.6 groups) and the least with chronic active hepatitis (0.7 group). 4. Allergic manifestations were seen mainly in patients with acute viral hepatitis. Three patients showed the serum sickness-like prodrome. 5. The other cutaneous manifestations were seen mainly in patients with chronic liver diseases.

Kerion celsi is severe inflammatory type of tinea capitis. It occurs almost exclusively in pre-pubertal children. We report a case of Kerion celsi occuring in a 79-year-old woman. Culture of infected hair on Sabouraud glucose agar showed Microsporum canis Farnily history and fungus study suggested the importance of indirect route in Microsporum canis infection.
