Abstract

This chapter reviews recent advances in selected areas of dermatology with stress on those disorders of the skin associated with internal and systemic disturbances. Modern dermatology finds itself fusing with internal medicine, and conversely, internal medicine is turning to and learning from the skin. It becomes constantly more evident that there are relatively few dermatoses in which the disturbance is limited to the skin, and consequently, study, diagnosis, and treatment involve more than looking at the skin and applying something to it. No attempt is made to cover the entire field of dermatology, and space limitation precludes systematic coverage of the literature on those subjects included. Subjects discussed are vitamin A metabolism, porphyria and photosensitivity, localized myxedema, acne vul­ garis, hair, roentgen therapy, bacterial infections, psoriasis, pemphigus, dis­ seminated lupus erythematosus, chloramphenicol in virus infections, calcif­ erol in treatment of lupus vulgaris, and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisone. METABOLIC DISORDERS & Hu (1) appeared, the subject of vitamin A in dermatology has become of Vitamin A.-In the twenty years since the fundamental paper of Frazier major importance. A large number of apparently unrelated cutaneous syn­ dromes and clinical disorders have been shown to respond to vitamin A ther­
