    Summary: This atlas, containing more than 300 color photos, focuses on those dermatologic conditions that are most common in ethnic skin or skin of color. It includes succinct explanations of each disease process, describes clinical findings, and presents key information on diagnosis and treatment. Individual chapters are devoted to pigmentary disorders, follicular disorders, hair and scalp disorders, eczemas, papulosquamous disorders, granulomatous disorders, connective tissue diseases, infectious diseases, scarring disorders, cutaneous neoplasms, photodermatoses and drug eruptions. The fact that this atlas covers skin disorders that affect patients of all ethnic backgrounds ensures that it will be of worldwide relevance. It will serve as a valuable reference for dermatologists and a range of other health care providers.

    Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 20 atopic dermatitis patients, 10 contact dermatitis and 50 healthy subjects were studied by the following methods: E rosettes, active E rosettes anti-HTLA serum (T cells), surface immunoglobulins (B cells), Ea rosettes (Fc-gamma-receptor bearing cells) stimulation by PHA, ConA, PWM. In contact dermatitis the results only indicated significantly low percentages of active E rosettes (whereas E rosette, HTLA, surface immunoglobulins, Ea rosettes are normal) and a poor response to PHA and ConA. In atopic dermatitis the presence of a T cell defect was assessed by low percentages of E rosettes. However normal results obtained with an anti-HTLA serum indicated that this T cell defect was not quantitative but could be due to intrinsic lymphocyte abnormalities or serum factors. Moreover the percentage of B cells was significantly increased. The stimulation index was lower after ConA than after PHA stimulation. This could be in favor of a T suppressor cell impairment. The place of this T cell defect in atopic dermatitis and the possible correlations with the Sczentivanyi's theory are discussed.
