RESUMEN
Syphilis became a problem at the beginning of the eighteenth century when a virulent microbe was brought to Norway. This new disease was called "radesyken", a Nordic name for "the wicked disease". "Rade" hospitals were built and this was the beginning of the Norwegian hospital system. Professor Caesar Boeck refused to use mercury in the treatment of syphilis; 2000 of his patients were included in the Oslo study of untreated syphilis. With the use of penicillin and other antibiotics, syphilis and gonorrhoea decreased. More frequent now are the viral diseases, herpes genitalis and condylomata acuminata. HIV is seldom found in the STD clinic in Oslo: only 5-6 HIV-positive persons per year; that is, about 0.09% of all new patients.

The paper presents the results of a cooperative, retrospective study of mycosis fungoides in Norway, in 112 patients diagnosed histologically between 1960-80. The study includes an analysis of incidence, clinicopathological findings, survival, mortality and autopsy findings. In addition, other factors, such as occupation, the incidence of cancer, associated illnesses and contact allergies are reviewed. The significant prognostic variables with regard to survival included, age at diagnosis, stage of the disease at diagnosis and occupation. Industrial workers showed the highest incidence of MF and the poorest prognosis in terms of survival after biopsy. In 59% of deceased MF patients, the cause of death was related to MF.

100 patients (53 women, 47 men) suffering from recurrent urticaria were tested with different food additives such as 8 dye additives, 7 preservatives and 7 antiphlogistica. In total did 62 patients react with urticaria and/or angio-oedema. 39 patients had reactions to two or more substances while 23 patients reacted to only one substance. Reactions were induced most frequently by aspirin (27/80), dextropropoxyphene (11/45) and the azo dyes tartrazin (20/96) and sunset yellow (13/86/. Asthmatic symptoms occurred in 3 and purpura in 2 patients. 13 patients out of 100 reported of immediate reactions to different foods.
