Hemorrhoids*

Bacteriological study, including antibiotic sensitivity tests, of 81 patients with pyodermas such as impetigo, folliculitis, furuncle, carbuncle, cellulitis and acuete infectious eczematoid dermatitis, was carried out during 4 months period from June, 1980 to September, 1980 at the department of dermatology, Han Il Hospital. The results were as follows: 1) The causative agents of impetigo in 42 patients, were coagulase positive Staphylacoccus aureus in 33, p-hemolytic Streptococcus in 6 and both organisms in R (S. aureus and 3-hemolytic Streptococcus). Coagulase negative Stgaphylococcus was not found. 2) The causative agents of superficial and deep follicultis in 23 cases, were coagulase positive S. aureus in 12, coaulase negative Staphylococcus in 5, p-hemolytic Streptococcus in 4 and S. aureus and p-hemolytic Streptococcus in 3. 3) The causative agents of cellulitis in 2 cases, were coagulase positive S. aureus in 1, and coagulase negative Staphylococcus in 1. 4) The causative agents of acute infectious eczematoid dermatitis in l4 cases, were coagulase positive S. aureus in 6, coagulase negative Staphylococcua in 1, p-hemolytic Streptococcus in 2, and two organisms in 5 (4 cases were mixed).

Generalized varicella-like eruption occurs in 2 to 10 percent of unselected patients with localized zoster, the majority of whom are patients with immunologic defects due to underlying malignanies (particularly rnalignancy of hematopoietic system) or immunosuppressive therapy. A 25-year old male noted onset of pain and burning sensation on the right side of cheet nine days prior to admission. The following day multiple vesicles were noted on right side of the chest. Three day before the admisson erythernatous maculopapules were noted on the abdomen. One day prior to admission vesicular lesions appeared over the entire hody. The patient was treated with topical application of calamin lotion, and with kanamycin and Cephalexin to prevent secondary infection. The secondary vesicles had disappeared by the fifth hospital day, but the initial lesion had not improved. On the fifteenth hosptital day the initia1 lesions has disappeared.

Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is rare dermatosis that may be divided into three categories: a type of epidermal nevus, a type associated with ichthyosis and a type of nevoid form seen in voung women. A 23-year-old woman was seen for skin lesion involving both nipples. These changes were first noted when the patient was in the sixth month of gestation. Physical examinations revealed papillomatous thickening of both nipples with brownish black discoloration. Histopathological changes were mild hyperkeratosis, keratotic plugging and telangiectasia. It was interesting to note that the skin lesions disappeared spontaneously 7 days after parturition without treatment. A possible correlation between pregnancy and acquired form of this rare skin disorder is suggested.

The hypereosinophilic syndrome consists of peripheral blood eosinophilia of 1500/ mm3 or more without a known cause, plus signs and symptoms of organ eosinophilia. We report a case of hypereosnophilic syndrome with cutaneous manifestation. A 31 year-old female had intermittent fever, sbdominal pain, anemia, systolic murmur, hepatosplenomegaly, cheat discomfort, dry cough without rales, and skin-colored wheal on the trunk. Diagnoais of hypereosinophilic syndrome wss established by clinical findings, marked blood eosinophilia without a known cause, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, liver scan, and histopsthologic findings of the skin.

The present study was undertaken to investigate serum carboxyhemoglobin levels in smokers according to the amount of cigarrettes. many studies have shown definite and consistent relations between smoking and ischemic heart disease. The purpose of this study is to show that COHb levels can be used to discriminate between persons having certain ischemic heart disease and persons without these disease more accurately than is possible by using smoking history alone, and thus to suggest that this may be a good indicators of risk. The results of this study are as follow : 1) The incidence of ischemic heart disease in smoker is higher than that in non-smoker. 2) For a given COHb level there is no clear increasing trend in the population of affected subjects with increasing cigarette consumption and there is no significant change cigarette consumption under duration of 10 year's smoking history. 3) For a moderate and a heavy smoking categories there is a consistent effect of an increasing proportion of affected subjects as the COHb level rises and there is a significant change with COHb level under duration of 10 year's smoking history. 4) The same results are as over duration of 10 year's history. 5) There were no significant interaction between under duration of 10 year's smoking history and over duration of 10 year's smoking history. In conclusion, it seemed that cigarette smoking may play an important factor in development of ischemic heart disease by increasing serum carboxyhemoglobin level.

Kimura's disease is a rare benign disease characterized by subcutaneous or dermal tumors occurring predominantly on the head and the neck. It usually occurs in young adults without constitutional symptoms, except for peripheral blood eosinophilia. The histopathologic features of the tumor are characterized by dense lymphoid aggregates containing a prominent germinal center and by the proliferation of endothelial cells associated with varying degrees of lymphocytic, histiocytic, and eosinophilic infiltration. We report a case of Kimura's disease without peripheral blood eosinophilia in a 24-year-old male who had had a painless and slowly growing tumor-like swelling on his right groin for one year. The mass was excised, and the specimen was confirmed as Kimura's disease. After surgical excision, the lesion recurred, so 30 mg of oral prednisone was given daily for one month and then decreased gradually for another one month. Now, the lesion is completely healed.
