From a clinical point of view, therapy with vitamin A acid originates from the thought that different pharmacokinetics of retinol in systemic or topical treatment would correspondingly entail a different metabolization and development of derivatives of vitamin A acid. Tumor development in the skin of mice caused by benzpyrene as well as therapy of ichthiosiform keratoses indicated that a therap...

introduction: malassezia has been reported as the cause of sometimes fatal, systemic infections in premature neonates. the soure of the infecting strain in these cases is uncertain, since neonates have limited numbers of malassezia on their skin, it may be from the hands of healthcare workers and family. the aim of this study was to examine how long malassezia was able to survive in the environ...

One of the complications which may be encountered during the course of therapy with antibiotics is the development of secondary infections superimposed upon the condition being treated. These superimposed infections are caused by microorganisms resistant to the original treatment and, when a fungus is responsible for the new infection, the problem becomes particularly distressing because of the...

Recent reviews on “The role of diet in acne: facts and controversies”1 and “Nutrition and acne”2 were interesting but may not have adequately challenged the dogma that chocolate does not exacerbate acne vulgaris. Our Medline search, using the key words “acne and chocolate,” showed that only 3 studies examined the role of chocolate consumption and acne. One clinical trial had 8 patients,3 anothe...

The cutaneous manifestations of syphilis are many. Most commonly one sees macular, papular, and papulosquamous lesions. Rarely, except in infants, are the lesions vesicular and only occasionally are they pustular (Pillsbury, Shelley, and Kligman, 1956; Pariser, 1964). The pustular lesions may easily be misdiagnosed unless the clinician is aided by the presence of a persistent primary lesion or ...

Despite the existence of various scientific research on the beneficial effect of specific immunotherapy with specific airborne allergens in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, this method has not been easily accepted, as the methodology and the valuation of the studies were heterogeneous. Over the last few years, meta-analysis technology has been developed as a useful tool to globally value the...
