[Systematic treatment with sex hormones in dermatology]
[Article in German]
Zaun H.
PIP: Recently a group of hormonal contraceptives, used in the treatment of skin diseases, has been taken off the market, leading dermatologists to critically evaluate sex hormone (SH) therapy. The antiandrogenic side effect of hormonal contraceptives has been effective in treating hormonally induced skin disorders, e.g., involving oil or endocrine secretion, and hair growth. SH therapy is indicated for treatment of female acne (reports of 70% success after 2-6 months' intensive therapy), and in some cases male acne, and also for seborrhoea (report of 90% success after 1-3 months' intensive treatment), also for female sebocystamatose and Fox-Fordyce disease. In the case of female androgenic alopecia and hirsutism, SH therapy results are limited. Rosacea and periole dermatitis should probably not be treated with SH therapy. Patients with skin disorders should carefully avoid any androgen-effective oral contraceptives, even for birth control purposes, and pay particular attention to the progesterone content, since some progesterones have androgenic aftereffects (testosterone anabolica, nortestosterone derivatives). The 2-phased Eunomin with chlormadinone is 1 recommended hormonal antiandrogenic preparation available at the present time. If 1-phase therapy is preferable, Menova may be used. Since remissions of psoriasis have been observed in pregnancy, SH therapy with nortestosterone may be indicated; and also in the case of herpes simplex menstrualis and perigo simplex subacuta, therapy should be attempted.

PIP: Each year 250 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have the potential to cause pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, blindness, and death. Sometimes the onset of these STDs is symptomless, but the following conditions indicate the presence of an STD: genital discharge, sores, wounds, or blisters; swollen glands in the groin; cauliflower-like growths on the genitals; skin rash; lower abdominal pain in females; painful swelling in the testicles; alopecia; discharge from the eyes; and pain during intercourse. The 5 most common STDs which can be cured with antibiotics are chancroid, chlamydial infection, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. By the end of 1994 in Uganda, 390 primary health units will be available for STD treatment, and most health workers will be trained in STD patient management. Since patients will receive the minimum amount of treatment needed to cure the STD, they will be well advised to use the drugs provided. Notification of all recent sex partners is also essential, and sex partners should be evaluated even if they are asymptomatic. Patients are advised to engage in safe sex behavior, including remaining faithful to a monogamous relationship and using condoms, and to seek medical advice if they develop STD symptoms or are exposed to STD. The AIDS virus is also transmitted through sexual intercourse as well as through blood transfusions, from mother to child, and through the use of contaminated needles. HIV infection progresses from a stage where it cannot be detected to an asymptomatic stage to a symptomatic stage. Chronic diarrhea, fever, and weight loss are the major symptoms. There is no treatment for HIV infection, but zidovudine (AZT) can delay progress of the disease. The most important treatment available is counseling and understanding. The Uganda AIDS Commission works to control the disease through education, treatment of STDs, provision of safe blood for transfusion, monitoring, counseling patients, and promoting research. The primary objective in the care of AIDS patients is to improve the quality of their life as much as possible.

Mural folliculitis and alopecia caused by infection with goat-associated malignant catarrhal fever virus in two sika deer.

Two sika deer from a zoo in Florida were examined because of chronic hair loss and skin lesions. No common causes of alopecia were identified in either deer. One deer was treated with prednisone, but the condition worsened when the dosage was decreased. Both deer were euthanatized after several months because of continued disease. The predominant histologic lesion in skin specimens was granulomatous mural folliculitis. Serologic testing and sequencing of fragments produced with a consensus polymerase chain reaction assay indicated that both deer were infected with caprine herpesvirus-2, a newly recognized member of the malignant catarrhal fever group of viruses. Disease in these deer was substantially different from that typically seen following infection with ovine herpesvirus-2, the sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever virus. Findings in these deer establish the pathogenicity of caprine herpesvirus-2 in sika deer and illustrate the ability of this group of complex herpesviruses to cause a wide variety of clinical abnormalities in diverse species.
