RESUMO
Fifty patients of contact vitiligo were studied. Etiological agents of contact vitiligo were identified by clinical history, distribution of lesions and patch testing with suspected material. All patients were advised to avoid the suspected agent and treated with PUVASOL and topical steroid. Out of 50 patients (Male 8%, Female 92% age 14-60 years)., etiological agent of contact vitiligo was found to be sticking bindi alone in 24 (48%), while bindi along with other etiological agents were found to be purse, foot wear, plastic watch strap, lipstick and tooth paste in 14 (28%) cases. 14 (28%) patients also had disseminated lesions of vitiligo along with contact vitiligo. Positive reaction with patch testing was observed in 18 (36%) while depigmentation was seen in 4 (8%) cases. We observed that response of treatment was better in patients with shorter duration of disease while poor response was seen in patients with longer duration of disease.
RESUMO
Two cases of continual skin peeling syndrome (CSPS) are presented.
RESUMO
A study of clinical profile of acrochordons was carried out in 100 patients. Their association with diabetes mellitus and other disorders was studied. Acrochordons were found to be closely associated with pseudo-acanthosis nigricans, seborrhoeic keratosis, obesity and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

Despite a greater awareness of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia, one in three patients has some degree of mental retardation by the time the diagnosis is made. The diagnosis is established by demonstrating high plasma insulin concentrations during an episode of hypoglycaemia. Twenty one hyperinsulinaemic infants and children were referred for surgical treatment after failing to respond to medical management. The surgical procedure of choice is a 95% pancreatectomy. Recurrence of the hypoglycaemia may develop after less radical resections as occurred in one patient who then underwent an extended resection 72 hours postoperatively. Patients who fail to respond to optimal medical treatment should be referred for surgery early and not as a last resort if permanent neurological damage is to be avoided.

Hydatid disease is a common condition in Libya. Between 1971 and 1976, hydatid disease accounted for 0.85% of total hospital admissions to Al-Jalah General Hospital, Benghazi. The incidence of hydatid disease reported in children below ten years of age was 11.7%. In this paper the experience of treating 56 children with hydatid disease is described. The presenting features, complications, surgical techniques and results are reported and discussed.

Men attending a genitourinary medicine clinic had an appreciably higher prevalence of subpreputial infection with group B streptococci (GBS) than with Staphylococcus aureus or coliform bacilli. Carriage of GBS was similar in older and younger age groups and was higher in homosexuals than heterosexuals and in those with balanitis than those without. Thus, while GBS may cause balanitis in heterosexuals, sexual transmission is unimportant; in contrast sexual transmission of GBS may be more common among homosexuals but balanitis is rare.

An analysis of 537 patients of leprosy registered in Leprosy Clinic attached to the S.M.S. Medical College and Hospital Jaipur from March 1977 to May 1980 has been made. An incidence of 4.1 per 1000 patients attending Skin Out Patient Department was found. Lepromatous leprosy (30%) was the most common form. Three hundred and thirty five (62.3%) cases were in the age group of 30-59 years. Males were affected twice as compared to females. 5.0 percent of affected families showed multiple cases.
