Two Cases of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome / 대한피부과학회지

Two cases of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome were presented and its literatures were reviewed. The patients were 25 year old male farmer and 38 year old housewife. Both had hypertrophy, port-wine nevus, and varicosities in case 1, on left lower extremity since birth. The length and cirumference of the affected leg were longer than the other side, and X-ray showed osteohypertrophy of tibia of the involved leg,

Studies for Identification Methods of Malassezia Furfur in Tinea Versicolor / 대한피부과학회지

Since the culture of M. furfur is impossible, the KOH wet mount and various staining techniques have been applied for identification of the M. furfur. However, these methods still have many disputed points. Practically, the KOH wet mount method is in common use but. there are many difficulties in identifying the fungi. The author intended to suggest an easy and simple method for identification of the fungi, using the KOH and various other staining solutions, and comparing this with many known methods. At the same time, by applying the best method of identification which the author was able to develop, distribution of the fungi in the horny layer and the viability of the fungi during treatment were abserved In identifying the fungi, 1% toluidine blue was most excellent, but hematoxylin, eosin, cotton blue, Giemsa stain, and Wright stain were not so satisfactory. 2. After staining with l% toluidine blue to the skin lesion scotch tape was applied to the lesion briefly and then examined under direct microscope. This was most easy and convenient method. 3. Repeated scotch taping from ] to 12 times produced no change in the distribution of fungi in the horny layer, but after 28 applications there was remarkable reduction of the amount of the fungi and no fungi was demonstrated in groups taped more than 46 times. 4. No influence was noted in the distribution of fungi after repeated irradiation of Ultra-violet light once daily for 18 days. 5. Continous daily application of 25% sodium thiosulfate solution for average 3. 9 days, caused the disappearance of tungi and no fungal elements were found following EO days of successive observation. 6. Application of 2.5% selenium sulfide on alternate day for average 6.2 days, caused the disappearance of fungi and no fungal elements were found following 55- 62 days of successive observation.

Two Cases of Congenital Ectodermal Defect / 대한피부과학회지

Tow cases of congenital ectodermal defect in brothers aged 15 and 10 years were pesinted and the literature was reviewed. They had lack of sweating, sparseness of the hard hairs, absence of lanugo hairs, maldevelopment or defect of most of the teeth, etc. They seemed to be angidrotic type associated with a sex-linked reccessive inheritance in their family backgroud.
