5. A case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis (Sneddon-Wilkinson-disease) not responding to dapsone: therapeutic alternatives

Abstract

We report a case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) which did not respondto the medication with dapsone or retinoids. When the medication was changed to systemic corticosteroids we observed a dramatic improvement of the skin lesions. This case underlines the usefulness of systemic corticosteroids as a therapeutic alternative when standard therapy fails. A dose maintenance is necessary to avoid relapses.

Abstract

Background: The atopy patch test (APT) was proposed to evaluate IgE-mediated sensitizations in patients with atopic eczema (AE). Objective: The prevalence and agreement with clinical history and specific IgE (slgE) of positive APT reactions was investigated in six European countries using a standardized method. Methods: A total of 314 patients with AE in remission were tested in 12 study centers on clinically uninvolved, non-abraded back skin with 200 index of reactivity (IR)/g of house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, cat dander, grass, and birch pollen allergen extracts with defined major allergen contents in petrolatum. Extracts of egg white, celery and wheat flour with defined protein content were also patch tested. APT values were evaluated at 24, 48, and 72 h according to the European Task Force on Atopic Dermatitis (ETFAD) guidelines. In addition, skin-prick test (SPT) and sIgE and a detailed history on allergen-induced eczema flares were obtained. Results: Previous eczema flares, after contact with specific allergens, were reported in 1% (celery) to 34% (D. pteronyssinus) of patients. The frequency of clear-cut positive APT reactions ranged from 39% with D. pteronyssinus to 9% with celery. All ETFAD intensities occured after 48 and 72 h. Positive SPT (16-57%) and elevated sIgE (19-59%) results were more frequent. Clear-cut positive APT with all SPT and sIgE testing negative was seen in 7% of the patients, whereas a positive APT without SPT or sIgE for the respective allergen was seen in 17% of the patients. APT, SPT and sIgE results showed significant agreement with history for grass pollen and egg white (two-sided Pr >, SCOPUS: ar.j, FLWIN, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract

Introduction: Histoplasma capsulatum var capsulatum is a dimorphic fungi predominating on the American continent. It is responsible for disseminated histoplasmosis associated with AIDS. The presentation in the form of cutaneous ulceration is uncommon and misleading., Observation: A 25 year-old man presented with 3 ulcerations, of 2 to 4 cm in diameter, localized on the lower lip and knees. The patient exhibited fever, alteration in his general status of health and a pulmonary interstitial syndrome. He was seropositive for the human immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV). His lymphocyte CD4+ level was of 1/mm3. Diagnosis of histoplasmosis was established by direct examination and culture of the cutaneous ulcerations and bronchoalveolar washing fluid., Discussion: The clinical aspect of cutaneous localizations of disseminated histoplasmosis is usually multiple, disseminated, papular or nodular-type lesions. Ulcerations represent less than 20% of the cases described. In our patient, the aspect of the lesions at first evoked cutaneous leishmaniosis. Direct mycological examination followed by culture confirmed the final diagnosis.
