Cutaneous Vasculitides - Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and Aetiology Abstract. Vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of diseases that are classified differently, for example according to the size of the affected vessel or according to primary and secondary causes. The skin is most frequently affected; it can be involved both as single organ vasculitis and in the context of systemic forms. The combination of skin lesions, their anatomical location and information on the time course provide clues for a differential diagnosis. Purpura, blisters, necrosis, ulcerations and possibly a livedo are characteristic manifestations. Constitutional symptoms such as weight loss, exhaustion, fever, and arthralgias are indicative of a systemic form. It is important to differentiate vasculitides from vasculopathies, which can manifest similarly. The most common form in adults is cutaneous leukocytoclastic angiitis, in children IgA vasculitis (Schönlein-Henoch purpura). Various triggers are possible: infections, drugs, autoimmune diseases, and malignancies, whereby up to 50% remain etiologically unexplained. Skin biopsies and laboratory parameters, if necessary supplemented with imaging, are important steps in the clarification process. Treatment is primarily directed at the elimination of a possible triggering cause. Idiopathic cutaneous leukocytoclastic angiitis usually resolves spontaneously; treatment is symptomatic. In more severe cases, topical corticosteroids or calcineurin antagonists are primarily used. In case of therapeutic resistance, systemic immunosuppressants are recommended.

- Abstract
Background: Acute hemorrhagic edema is a skin-limited small-vessel leukocytoclastic vasculitis, which affects infants 4 weeks to 2 years of age and remits within 3 weeks. The diagnosis is made clinically in not-ill appearing children with acute onset of raised annular or nummular eruptions and edema. In this vasculitis, type, distribution, and evolution of the rash have never been systemically investigated. To address this issue, we employed the data contained in the Acute Hemorrhagic Edema Bibliographic Database, which incorporates all reports on acute hemorrhagic edema., Summary: Key features of rash were documented in 383 children. Annular eruptions in a strict sense, usually targetoid, were reported in 375 (98%) cases (many children also presented polycyclic or arciform eruptions). Nummular eruptions were also very common (n = 358; 93%). Purpuric eruptions and ecchymoses were reported in the vast majority of cases. Macules and wheals were described in a minority of cases. Edema, detected in all cases, was mostly painful, indurated and nonpitting. The following regions were affected, in decreasing order, by annular or nummular eruptions: legs, feet, face, arms, ears, trunk, and genitals. With the exception of feet, which were very often affected, the same distribution was reported for edema. The initial eruption was often a wheal or a macule that evolved into a nummular or an annular eruption. Nummular eruptions successively evolved into annular ones., Key Message: This study carefully characterizes type, distribution, and evolution of skin eruption in acute hemorrhagic edema. The data help physicians to rapidly and noninvasively make the clinical diagnosis of this vasculitis., (© 2021 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel.)

- Abstract
Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae atypical pneumonia is frequently associated with erythema multiforme. Occasionally, a mycoplasma infection does not trigger any cutaneous but exclusively mucosal lesions. The term mucosal respiratory syndrome is employed to denote the latter condition. Available reviews do not address the possible association of mucosal respiratory syndrome with further atypical bacterial pathogens such as Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Chlamydophila psittaci, Coxiella burnetii, Francisella tularensis, or Legionella species. We therefore performed a systematic review of the literature addressing this issue in the National Library of Medicine, Excerpta Medica, and Web of Science databases., Summary: We found 63 patients (≤18 years, n = 36; >18 years, n = 27; 54 males and 9 females) affected by a mucosal respiratory syndrome. Fifty-three cases were temporally associated with a M. pneumoniae and 5 with a C. pneumoniae infection. No cases temporally associated with C. psittaci, C. burnetii, F. tularensis, or Legionella species infection were found. Two cases were temporally associated with Epstein-Barr virus or influenzavirus B, respectively., (© 2021 S. Karger AG, Basel.)

- Abstract
Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is sometimes associated with skin or mucous membrane eruptions. Available reviews do not address the association of Chlamydophila pneumoniae pneumonia with skin eruptions. We therefore conducted a systematic review of the literature addressing this issue. The National Library of Medicine, Excerpta Medica, and Web of Science databases were employed., Summary: In two reports, skin lesions and especially urticaria were more common (p < 0.05) in atypical pneumonia caused by C. pneumoniae as compared with M. pneumoniae. We found 47 patients (<18 years, n = 16; ≥18 years, n = 31) affected by a C. pneumoniae atypical pneumonia, which was associated with erythema nodosum, erythema multiforme minus, erythema multiforme majus, isolated mucositis, or cutaneous vasculitis. We also found the case of a boy with C. pneumoniae pneumonia and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. We did not find any case of C. pneumoniae respiratory infection associated with either Gianotti-Crosti syndrome, pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta Mucha-Habermann, or varicella-like skin eruptions., (© 2020 S.

- Abstract
Aim: Intramuscular or, more rarely, local drug injection is occasionally followed by immediate local pain, livedoid skin lesions and, some days later, the development of ischemic lesions. This very uncommon but potentially severe reaction, termed Nicolau syndrome, is traditionally associated with bismuth and β-lactam antimicrobials. The aim of this report was to review the literature associating Nicolau syndrome with the administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs., Methods: The National Library, Excerpta Medica, Web of Science and Cochrane library databases were used., Results: Sixty-two cases (40 females and 22 males aged from 13 to 81, median 57 years) of Nicolau syndrome were published after 1992. Fifty-three cases occurred after diclofenac. The remaining nine cases were associated with ketoprofen (N = 2), ketorolac (N = 2), phenylbutazone (N = 2), etofenamate (N = 1), ibuprofen (N = 1) and piroxicam (N = 1)., Conclusion: Although Nicolau syndrome is extremely uncommon, physicians must be aware of this complication after intramuscular administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and should avoid unnecessary injections., (© 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

- Abstract
Background: Humans are exposed to a variety of metals on a daily basis, and nickel is the most frequent contact allergen. Little is known about the frequency of sensitization to indium and iridium., Objectives: Study the prevalence of indium and iridium sensitization and evaluate the optimal patch test conditions., Methods: A total of 364 patients were patch tested at the allergy unit of the University Hospital of Basel. Pure metals, metal chlorides, and metal sulfates were applied in petrolatum or water in Inert Quadrate (IQ) test chambers for 2 days and read twice at day (D) 2, and between D4 and D7., Results: Eleven patients reacted to indium salts (3.0%), 13 to iridium salts (3.6%), and one reacted to both salts. None of the patients reacted to pure metals. Nineteen of the 23 patients who reacted either to indium or iridium showed concomitant positive reactions to other metals, mainly nickel and palladium., Conclusion: This retrospective clinical study provides insight into the prevalence and test conditions of two rarely tested metal allergens in a large patient cohort. A considerable number of indium- or iridium-positive subjects had co-sensitization to other metals., (© 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

9. [Livedo : physiopathology and diagnosis].

- Abstract
The livedo is a purplish erythema forming more or less regular mesh on the skin. This phenomenon is caused by blood deoxygenation and stasis in the dermal venules. It is important to differentiate between a benign form, usually associated with cold exposure, and a secondary form necessitating further investigations of an underlying disease. The purpose of this article is to discuss the pathophysiology and causes of this phenomenon. Treatment is not covered in this article because of its complex and often multidisciplinary approach., Competing Interests: Les auteurs n’ont déclaré aucun conflit d’intérêts en relation avec cet article.
