ABSTRACT: Papillon‐Lefevre syndrome in six‐Saudi children in the same family is described. The parents were unaffected, and parental consanguinity was present. Palmoplantar keratosis started at the age of 11/2 years. The loss of deciduous teeth was a consequence of juvenile periodontitis. All essential features of the syndrome were present in the series.

ABSTRACT: Typical papules obtained from a patient with hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans (HLP) were examined by light and electron microscopy. Dense cellular infiltrate, which consisted mainly of mononuclear cells, was observed in the dermis underlying the lesion. Electron microscopic studies revealed that these cells were mostly lymphocytic cells. In addition, several Langerhans cells were found in the infiltrate, some of which were apposed to the lymphocytic cells. These findings suggested that immunologic reactions via Langerhans cells might occur in HLP and further raises a possibility that Langerhans cells might be involved in the pathogenesis of HLP.

ABSTRACT: Forty‐eight human contacts with cats infested with Notoedres cati were investigated; 30 (62.5%) of the contacts showed symptoms of notoedric scabies, and N. cati mites were recovered from 15 (50%) skin specimens. Intense pruritus without any mite burrows developed within a few hours of initial contact with the infested cats. People within the age group of 26–35 years were frequently infested. Hands and legs were the most common sites of lesions. Prolonged association with the infested cats was responsible for this cutaneous disease. The lesions in infested people subsided when the cats were segregated from humans.
