The serum levels of hyaluronic acid (sHA) were measured using an affinoimmunoenzymatic assay in patients with distal (n= 16) and proximal (n= 15) progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) and in 31 controls, The severity of PSS was evaluated using a standardized organ‐involvement score. The mean sHA was significantly higher in the patients with PSS than in controls (mean ± SD: 80 ± 43.4μg/l vs. 42.3 ± 19.1 μg/l, P < 0.001). sHA was significantly higher in patients with proximal PSS than in patients with distal PSS (106.4±44.6 μg/l vs. 55.4±23.8 μg/l. P < 0.001). A positive correlation was found between sHA and the disease score (r= 0.67, P < 0.001). sHA was also correlated with lung diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (r=0. 70. P < 0.001). but only in those patients who had abnormal lung function, and therefore presumably had lung PSS involvement.

q 2000 British Association of Dermatologists, British Journal of Dermatology, 142, 812±851 hyperplasia, and has not been reported to cause flushing. Tacrolimus may provide an alternative to cyclosporin in patients with florid or unacceptable cutaneous side-effects such as flushing attacks, hypertrichosis or gingival hyperplasia. Currently there are limited long-term data on the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus, although at 1 year follow-up in one series there were no significant differences between cyclosporin and tacrolimus. Conversion from cyclosporin to tacrolimus is an effective means of treating cutaneous sideeffects, but should be reserved for severe cases resistant to other therapeutic options.

The case of an 87-old year woman with necrolytic migratory erythematous rash without elevated plasma enteroglucagon is described. Decreased serum zinc level and response to oral zinc substitution proved the zinc deficiency.

We report the case of a 31 year old woman with recurrent necrotizing purpura on the legs with antiphospholipid antibodies. Cutaneous lesions are frequent and may be early markers of the antiphospholipids antibody syndrome but hsitological vasculitis is unusual.
