We messured delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions by Multitest CMI Kit. Total 209 normal adults ranging in age from 17 to 55 year(male 106, female 103) were tested. The results were obtained as follows ; 1. Sum of average diameter of positive antigens wss 20.7mm in male and 15.6mm in female. 2. Number of positive antigens was 3.9 in male and 3.4 in female. 3. Rate of anergy was 1.4%(0.9% in male, 1.9% in female). 4. The rate of subjects below warning score(below 10mm in male, below 5mm in female) was 2.8% in male and 5.8% in female. 5. Antigen with the highest response was tuberculin in both sex(male 95.3%, female 89.3%) and antigen with the lowest response was trichophyton(22.5%). 6. Aversge score of positive response of every antigens was highest in tuberculin at both sex(male 2.8mm, female 2,6mm) 7. Average score of total antigens with positive response was 5.5mm in male and 4.6mm in female. 8. The rate of false positive reaction to 70% W/V glycerine was 1.4% totally.

we report a case of elastosis perforans serpiginosa associated with pseudoxanthoma e1asticurn on t:he neck of 27-year-old male patient. The lesions showecl erythematous scaly hyperkeratotic papules forming serpiginous pattern on yellowish elevated plaques. A skin biopsy specimen from the neck lesion revealed dense accurmulations of coarse elastic fibers partly cngulfed by epithelium in the papillary dcrrnis and increase cif short, irregulary clumped and degenerated clastic fibers in the middermis. On funduscopic exarnination, angioid streak is noted around the optic disk.

We report a case of 68-year-old male patient who was confirmed as d'emblee type of mycosis fungoides. The skin lesions showed sharply rnargined multiple reddish brown coIarcd papules, ndules, and tumors on the groin, thign, abdomen, and neck. The microscopic findings showed the epidermotropism and pautrier's micruabscess in the epidermis, and the infiltration of atypical cells in the dermis. The electron micrascopic findings showed irregular contour of the nuclear mernbrane within atypical lymphocytes. Thc lesions were gradually diminished by superficial radiation therapy.
