| chlorine acne | An occupational acne-like eruption due to prolonged contact with certain chlorinated compounds (naphthalenes and diphenyls); keratinous plugs (comedones) form in the pilosebaceous orifices, and variously sized small papules (2 to 4 mm) develop. Synonym: chlorine acne, tar acne. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colloid acne | Yellow papules developing in sun-damaged skin of the head and backs of the hands, composed of colloid material in the dermis resembling amyloid but with a different ultrastructure. Synonym: colloid acne, colloid pseudomilium, elastosis colloidalis conglomerata. Origin: L. Milium, millet (05 Mar 2000) |
| corticosteroid-induced acne | The exacerbation of acne after corticosteroid use is a common drug reaction seen in adolescents. Lessening the dose of the corticosteroid will often diminish this effect. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pomade acne | Acne commonly found on the forehead and temples of negro males after prolonged and repetitious application of hair creams. (05 Mar 2000) |
| halogen acne | An acneform eruption caused by bromides or iodides. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cystic acne | <dermatology> A form of acne which results from the bacterial infection of cysts deep within the skin. Generally requires treatment with antibiotics and other agents (Isotretinoin). Without treatment cystic acne may result in scarring. (27 Sep 1997) |
| steroid acne | Folliculitis similar to acne vulgaris, but resulting from topical or oral administration of steroids; comedones are rare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodide acne | A follicular eruption on the face, trunk, and extremities, due to injection or ingestion of iodide in a hypersensitive individual. See: iododerma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tar acne | An occupational acne-like eruption due to prolonged contact with certain chlorinated compounds (naphthalenes and diphenyls); keratinous plugs (comedones) form in the pilosebaceous orifices, and variously sized small papules (2 to 4 mm) develop. Synonym: chlorine acne, tar acne. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tropical acne | <dermatology> A severe type of acne of the entire trunk, shoulders, upper arms, buttocks, and thighs; occurs in hot, humid climates. (05 Mar 2000) |

| abortus bacillus | A species of the genus brucella whose natural hosts are cattle and other bovidae. Other mammals, including man, may be infected. Abortion and placentitis are frequently produced in the pregnant animal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacillus | <bacteria> A genus of bacteria of the family Bacillaceae, including large aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, spore forming, rod shaped cells, the great majority of which are gram-positive and motile. The genus is separated into 48 species, of which three are pathogenic or potentially pathogenic and the remainder are saprophytic soil forms. Many organisms historically called Bacillus are now classified in other genera. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Bacillus amyloliquefaciens | A highly amylolytic species of soil bacteria that produces subtilisin. (05 Mar 2000) |
