Palmoplantar reactions.

The palmoplantar skin reacts monotonously to acute causes with vesicles or pustules and to chronic or chronically recurrent noxae with hyperkeratosis. Vesicular reactions are mostly triggered by eczematogens and fungi. Among the primary pustuloses, pustular psoriasis of the palms and soles is the dominating one, while the secondary pustuloses stem from infections of vesicular reactions with pyogens.

Localization of fibronectin in the initial lymphatics and blood vessels of normal human skin: an immunoelectron microscopic investigation.

The initial lymphatics of the human skin do not possess a basal lamina, but a subendothelial fibrous network, of which we do not know the biochemical and immunohistological composition. We investigated the wall of blood vessels and initial lymphatics in normal human skin for the presence of fibronectin by immunoelectron microscopy. We found discontinuous linear subendothelial diaminobenzidine (DAB) reaction products in both blood vessels and lymphatics.

Teicoplanin in the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections: results of a multicentre study.

The clinical efficacy and safety of teicoplanin was studied in hospitalized patients with skin and soft tissue infections. In an open multicentre study 64 patients were treated with teicoplanin i.v.
