Abstract

Allopurinol-induced drug reaction syndrome with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (A-DRESS) is a welldescribed condition in adults, whereas it is uncommon among children. We describe a case of A-DRESS in a 16-year-old male with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome. He presented a life-threatening clinical course with persisting fever, skin rash, eosinophilia, lymphadenopathy, distributive shock, and herpesvirus 6 detection. The withdrawal of allopurinol and a combination of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) and systemic corticosteroids led to the patient's recovery without sequelae. Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) in pediatrics is rare and can present in a severe form. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are critical for prognostic purposes. This report suggests the potentially crucial role of IVIG in the treatment of patients with A-DRESS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

15. Clinical, dermoscopic, and histologic aspects of two cases of cutaneous focal mucinosis

Subjects

Abstract

Cutaneous mucinoses are a complex and diverse group of connective tissue disorders characterized by the accumulation of mucin and/or glycosaminoglycan in the skin and adnexa. Cutaneous focal mucinosis appears as a solitary, asymptomatic, skin-colored to white papule, nodule, or plaque located anywhere on the body or in the oral cavity. It presents mainly in adults and is characterized on histopathology by mucin throughout the upper and mid dermis. We describe the dermoscopy of two cases of cutaneous focal mucinosis. Both lesions presented a nonspecific homogenous whitish pattern; the first case also exhibited a sharply demarcated yellow border.

19. Antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureusisolated from skin lesions in children. A retrospective analysis from a tertiary care Italian pediatric hospital

Author

Lezzi, Marilea, Bandettini, Roberto, Ugolotti, Elisabetta, Saffioti, Carolina, Mesini, Alessio, Pastorino, Carlotta, Manunza, Francesca, Ferretti, Marta, Brisca, Giacomo, and Castagnola, Elio

Abstract

Antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureuswas retrospectively assessed in 1833 strains isolated from skin lesions observed in an Italian tertiary care hospital. Methicillin resistance was more frequent in outpatients than in inpatients (18% vs. 14%, p = 0.04) as well as resistance to cotrimoxazole (8% vs. 4.1%, p < 0.001). Resistance to ampicillin was 99% in both groups, while for clindamycin it was 11% and 14%, respectively. Among topical antibiotics fusidic acid showed the better resistance profile (3%). Antibiotic resistance in pediatric skin infection in outpatients could represent a therapeutic problem in Italy.

Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 49-year-old female patient, who developed face eczema after using Resveratrol BE cream for several weeks. Her dermatitis cleared after she stopped using the cream, and immediately recurred when she applied it again. Tests showed that she was allergic to Scutellaria baicalensis extracts (SBE) and resveratrol. The article discusses use of SBE in the traditional herbal remedy.

Abstract

Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma (MCA) represent an uncommon benign fibrohistiocytic vascular lesion that sometimes may go undiagnosed because of its clinical and hystopathological similarities with benign fibrous histiocytoma and other soft-tissue neoplasms especially when localized on oral cavity or semi mucosa. We report the case of a solitary multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma on the lower lip of a 46-year old woman suggesting that this rare lesion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the oral soft-tissue neoplasms.

Abstract

© 2015 The Authors. doi: 10.2340/00015555-2169 Journal Compilation © 2015 Acta Dermato-Venereologica. ISSN 0001-5555 Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP), described in 1990 by Anhalt et al. (1), is an autoimmune mucocutaneous blistering disease characterized by severe mucosal erosions and polymorphic cutaneous lesions. In 2001 the term paraneoplastic autoimmune multi-organ syndrome (PAMS) was coined (2) to reflect its frequent multi-organ involvement and numerous clinical variants (pemphiguslike, pemphigoid-like, erythema multiforme-like, graftversus-host disease-like, and lichen planus-like). This disease is most often associated with haematological malignancies, and has a high mortality rate (90%) with less than one-year mean survival. We report here a case of PNP/PAMS that was associated with retroperitoneal Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and evolved through 3 different clinical variants (pemphigus-like, lichen planus-like and erythema multiformelike). This is the first report of an association of PNP/ PAMS with KS in literature.

27. Dermoscopy of a Spark's nevus.

Author

Biondo G, Gnone M, Sola S, Pastorino C, and Massone C

Abstract

Spark's nevus is a particular type of melanocytic nevus that on histology shows features of both Spitz's and Clark's nevus. Clinically, it is an asymmetric, irregular, multicolored, pigmented lesion that is not clearly distinguishable from melanoma or dysplastic (Clark's) nevus. Dermoscopic features have not been described yet, and one could speculate that they are similar to those of Clark's nevi because the histopathologic architecture of Spark's nevus is similar to that of a Clark's nevus, resembling Spitz's nevi in the epithelioid morphology of melanocytes. We present a 32-year-old woman with a Spark's nevus, who upon dermoscopy showed a pronounced atypical network with accentuation of the blue veil and mostly peripheral dots., Competing Interests: Competing interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.
