[Immunotherapy in the complex treatment of patients with atopic dermatitis with sensitization to house dust mites].

Ninety-nine patients aged 16-52 years with disseminated atopic dermatitis at the remission were examined and treated. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the method of therapy. Group 1 (28 patients aged 17-52 years, found to be sensitive to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and D.

[Allergic sensitivity in different groups of patients with atopic dermatitis].

69 patients with atopic dermatitis, aged 16-42 years, were examined. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 consisted of patients with atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis (25 patients), group 2 consisted of patients without the respiratory syndrome (44 patients). Scarification skin tests made it possible to find out the essential difference in the sensitivity of the examinees in these two groups.

[The surgical treatment of contractures and syndactyly in a child with epidermolysis bullosa without using autotransplantation].

An operation was performed in an 8-years-old girl suffering from a recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa from birth complicated by a developed contracture and syndactyly of the both bones in order to eliminate these defects without using an autotransplant. The postoperative course was without complications, epithelialization developed by the end of the 3rd week. No recurrences were noted during 2 years.

[Hereditary pemphigus: the problems of classification, diagnosis and prevention].

Basic principles of present-day classification of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa are outlined, and morphologic grounds for distinguishing common, borderline, and dystrophic e. bullosa are validated. Potentialities of prenatal diagnosis of grave forms of e.

[The ultrastructural changes in the nerve fibers of the skin in psoriasis].

Electron microscopic examination of the upper layers of the derma in skin biopsy specimens from 20 patients with psoriasis, collected both in foci of lesions and those of apparently intact skin, has revealed that changes in amyelinic nerve fibers are more marked in foci of involvement. Here they may be partly explained by inflammatory processes; but since the nerve fibers are also significantly changed in apparently intact skin, we may suppose that these changes are due to other factors as well.
