Highly transient population, multiple sexual partners and high prevalence of unprotected sex behaviors suggest a potential rapid spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in China. However, there are some 200 non-sexually transmitted diseases involving the genitalia, etiologically falling into 23 types. To avoid unnecessary medical disputes, enough attention should be paid to the differential diagnosis of non-sexually transmitted diseases in the genitalia.

Sjogren's syndrome (SS) describes xeropthalmia and xerostomia due to lymphocytic infiltrates of lacrimal and salivary glands. SS may occur alone (primary SS) or in association with several other autoimmune diseases (secondary SS). The clinical features involve a wide variety of organs, including skin, eyes, oral cavity and salivary glands, and systems, including nervous, musculoskeletal, genitourinary and vascular. Sicca symptoms can be found in a number of other disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, primary biliary cirrhosis, and other rheumatic disorders.

The clinical features of cutaneous manifestations in 411 patients with Behcet's syndrome were studied. 302 patients (73.5%) had skin lesions. The frequency with which the following skin lesions were noted was, in decreasing order; erythema nodosum-like lesion, papulopustular eruption, erythema multiforme-like lesion, thrombophlebitis, ulcer and Sweet's syndrome-like lesion. More than two types of skin lesions were seen in 86 patients (28.5%), the combination of the skin lesions being in decreasing order, erythema nodosum-like lesion and papulopustular eruption; erythema multiforme-like lesion and papulopustular lesion; erythema nodosum-like lesion and thrombophlebitis. A skin pathergy test was performed on 245 patients, and a positive reaction was seen in 97 patients (39.6%). This study showed the high incidence, wide spectrum and importance of skin lesions as a major symptom in Behcet's syndrome.

We present here a case of acrodermatitis enteropathica-like eruption associated with essential free fatty acid and protein deficiencies as well as borderline zinc deficiency that occurred after Whipple's operation in a 31-yr-old woman. Her eruptions were improved not by zinc supplements alone, but her condition was improved by total parenteral nutrition including amino acids, albumin, lipid and zinc. Although we could not exactly decide which of the nutrients contributed the most to her manifestations, we inferred that all three elements in concert caused her dermatoses. This case shows that even though the patient's skin manifestations and laboratory results are suggestive of acrodermatitis enteropathica, the physicians should keep in mind the possibility that this disease can be associated with other nutritional deficiencies such as free fatty acid or protein deficiency.

A 32-year-old woman with a long-standing systemic lupus erythematosus had multiple subcutaneous nodules on her axillae, iliac crests and limbs. Three years ago, these nodules began to appear and slowly became larger. Some of them amassed to form a large, fungating, lobulated mass on her right iliac crest. Roentgenographic and histological examination showed that they were calcium deposits. She was initially treated with aluminum hydroxide administration for nine months, which resulted in moderate decrease in size and softening in consistency, but not complete resolution. Then, the mass on the right iliac crest was excised, with an excellent early result.
