[The functional state of the pituitary-thyroid gland system in patients with eczema].

The function of the hypophyseo-thyroid system has been examined by radioimmunoassays in 185 patients suffering from eczema. In 62% of patients thyroid function has been found increased. The findings evidence a relationship between the severity of thyroid dysfunction and the clinical pattern of the disease.

[The use of sibicort in the combined therapy of patients with eczema, neurodermatitis and allergic dermatitis].

The authors assess the clinical efficacy of sibicort, and ointment manufactured by Orion, Finland, used in therapy of patients suffering from neurodermatitis, eczema, and allergic dermatitis. Pathogenetic treatment combined with sibicort has been administered to 64 patients with disseminated true eczema, 115 ones with diffuse neurodermatitis, and 20 ones with allergic dermatitis. The ointment has been applied to and a little bit rubbed in the foci of lesions twice a day.

[The function of the hypophysis-thyroid system in patients with rubromycosis].

Blood plasma thyroxine, triiodothyronine, thyroxine-binding globulin, and thyrotropic hormone have been radioimmunoassayed in 148 patients with rubromycosis. Reduced function of the thyroid has been detected in 39% of patients. Specific antifungal therapy does not essentially influence the function of the hypophyseal-thyroid system.

[Seasonal fluctuations in the functioning of the hypophyseo-thyroid system in patients with atopic dermatitis].

The hypophyseal-thyroid system functional activity has been examined in the patients with atopic dermatitis in various phases of the disease and seasons. The highest activity has been recorded in autumn and spring; antirelapse therapy with lithium carbonate is recommended.
