RESUMO
Trichilemmal cyst, also known as "pilar cyst," is a benign cyst containing keratin and its breakdown products with a wall resembling external root sheath of hair. It occurs mostly in females as a solitary firm nodule over scalp. Occurrence of multiple trichilemmal cysts in areas other than scalp is extremely rare. We are reporting a case of a 40-years-old female who presented with multiple calcified trichilemmal cysts in multicentric distribution associated with alopecia universalis. Similar complaints were present in elder sister of the patient, indicating a genetic background. Multicentric distribution of trichilemmal cysts, calcification, familial occurrence, and association with alopecia universalis seen in our case are all rare and intriguing features.

Fetal varicella syndrome is a rare condition of the newborn, presenting with cutaneous scars, limb defects and ocular and central nervous system abnormalities. It is due to varicella or zoster developing in the fetus following maternal varicella infection during early pregnancy. We are reporting one such patient who presented with a linear, depressed, erythematous scar over the left forearm and axillary fold, with a history of maternal chicken pox during the first trimester of pregnancy.

A 60 year old female patient presented with disseminated tuberculosis. She had multicentric lupus vulgaris and her joints, bones, lymph nodes and lungs were also affected. Haematogenous dissemination was because of her poor health.
RESUMO
The study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of various multidrug regimens (MDT). Three groups of 10 cases each of Paucibacillary cases were given different schedule of multidrug therapy. First group (T-0) was administered modified WHO regimen consisting of Rifampicin 600 mg once a month, Clofazimine 100 mg alternate days and Dapsone 100 mg daily for 6 months. In second group (T-1) Rifampicin 600 mg was given daily for 6 weeks and in third group (T-2) Rifampicin 600 mg was given daily for 6 months. In both the latter groups Clofazimine 100 mg on alternate days and Dapsone 100 mg daily was also administered for 6 months. Objective clinical scoring was done at the time of admission, three months and six months after treatment in all three groups. The best results were obtained by T-2 followed by T-1; and least effective was T-0 regimen. Pinkish colour of urine and skin was observed in 26 cases and icthyosis in all the cases. All the patients remain under treatment. The work is in progress and subsequent results will be published later.
