Papillon-Lefevre syndrome in six Saudi children in the same family is described. The parents were unaffected, and parental consanguinity was present. Palmoplantar keratosis started at the age of 1 1/2 years. The loss of deciduous teeth was a consequence of juvenile periodontitis. All essential features of the syndrome were present in this series.

SUMMARY We describe a case of urethritis caused by group B streptococci. The diagnosis was confirmed by examination of a Gram stained smear, isolation of the organism from the urethral discharge, and also by the clinical response to treatment with phenoxymethyl penicillin.
