Coexistence of Linear Porokeratosis with Disseminated Superficial Actinic Porokeratosis / 대한피부과학회지

The coexistence of the variants of porokeratosis is very rare. We report a case of coexistence of linear porokeratosis with disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP). A 43-year-old wornan first noticed a brownish papule on the left side of groin in early infancy.

In 5,413 VISA applicants, the reactive rate of VDRL test was 2,0% totally. The reactive rate of VDRL test of male was 2. 6%, and that of female was 1. 6% 2. The reactive rate of 1983 was 1.4% and that was the lowest in annual incidence, but there was no statistically significant differences in comparing the annual incidences. 3.
