Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic, bilateral allergic inflammation of the conjunctiva. The disease is seasonal, recurrent & commonly seen among young boys. Common symptoms of the disease are redness, itching, lacrimation, photophobia, foreign body sensation & a characteristic ropy discharge. Signs found in VKC are conjunctival congestion, giant papillae involving upper palpebral conjunctiva & the limbus, Tranta’s dots & superficial keratitis. (1,2).  Patients with VKC frequently have a positive family history or history of allergic diseases like asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis etc.(3).

Anagen Phase

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">Anagen effluvium occurs due to an agent or event that drastically reduces the metabolic activity of the matrix cells of the hair follicle. At any given time more than 80% of scalp hair is in the anagen phase of the hair cycle. Hence the resulting hair loss is abrupt and extensive. In majority of the cases, it occurs in association with cancer chemotherapy and radiation, other causes being rare. Here we report a case of a middle aged female suffering from Atopic dermatitis that was put on treatment with Azathioprine for the same. Treatment with Azathioprine was followed by a diffuse and extensive hair loss from the scalp associated with painful oral ulcers and marked leucocytopenia within a month of administration. The hair grew back within four months of stopping Azathioprine. This case report is an attempt to highlight a rare but extremely distressing side effect of Azathioprine which is a commonly used drug in dermatology.</span></p>

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
