The number of DF mites was significantly higher in both lesional and nonlesional areas of patients with SD. This suggests that, when other aetiological causes are excluded, DF may have either direct or indirect role in the aetiology of SD.
A 60-year-old man presented with a plaque lesion on the upper right half of the face, which had developed after ophthalmic varicella zoster infection about 2 years previously. The lesion, which was burning and itchy, included a few tiny erythematous pustules, and was slightly squamous and infiltrated. The lesion covered the upper two-thirds of the right trigeminal nerve dermatome, involving half of the face with the forehead, the periorbital area, upper part of the cheek and the nose. The lesion became more marked after continuous topical anaesthetic and corticosteroid use. A standardized skin-surface biopsy was taken, and revealed a large number of Demodex folliculorum (38/cm(2)) in the lesion area. The lesions completely abated after topical 5% permethrin treatment, and no recurrence was observed during follow-up. Demodicosis may have atypical clinical presentations, other than the well-known classic forms. To our knowledge, this is the first unilateral trigeminal, pseudozoster presentation in the literature.
Background and Design: Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a childhood enteroviral eruptive disease presenting with fever and cutaneous and mucosal lesions. It is benign and generally resolves spontaneously, but may sometimes result in systemic involvement. The purpose of this study was to share our clinical experience concerning patients who were followed with the diagnosis of HFMD established by the pediatric and dermatology clinics. Materials and Methods: We prospectively evaluated patients who attended our hospital with the complaints of fever and eruptions and received the diagnosis of HFMD based on the clinical findings between December 2014 and November 2015. Age, sex, month of presentation, presentation symptoms and duration of symptoms were investigated. Systemic and dermatological examination findings, laboratory results and tests such as echocardiography were reviewed. Results: Thirty-nine patients were included; 19 (48.8%) were girl and 20 (51.2%) were boy. The mean age of the patients was 29.8±27.9 (6-155) months. Six (15.3%) patients were in the 0-12 month age group, while only 3 (7.8%) were older than 60 months. Presentations were most common in September, June and October. The most common presentation symptoms were eruptions on the hands and feet (100%), fever (82.1%) and oral aphthae (79.5%). The lesions were most commonly observed on the hands (94.9%, n=37) and feet (87.2%, n=34) and in the mouth (79.5%, n=31). Cardiac involvement was determined in 3 (7.7%) patients. Nail changes were observed during monitoring in 10 (25.6%) patients. AbstractAmaç: El-ayak-ağız hastalığı (EAAH); ateş, deri ve mukoza lezyonları ile seyreden, çocukluk çağının enteroviral döküntülü bir hastalığıdır. İyi seyirli ve kendiliğinden düzelme eğiliminde olmakla birlikte, nadiren sistemik tutuluma yol açabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, pediatri ve dermatoloji klinikleri tarafından EAAH tanısıyla takip edilen hastalara ait klinik deneyimlerimizi paylaşmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemize Aralık 2014-Kasım 2015 tarihleri arasında ateş ve döküntü şikayeti ile başvuran hastalardan, klinik bulgulara dayanılarak EAAH tanısı koyulan hastalar prospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, başvuru ayı, başvuru şikayeti ve süresi sorgulandı. Sistemik ve dermatolojik muayene bulguları, laboratuvar sonuçları, ekokardiyografi gibi ek inceleme tetkikleri gözden geçirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 39 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların 19'u (%48,8) kız, 20'si (%51,2) erkek idi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 29,8±27,9 (6-155) ay olarak hesaplandı. Yaş aralığına göre hastaların 6'sı (%15,3) 0-12 ay arasında iken, sadece 3'ü (%7,8) 60 aydan büyüktü. Başvurular en sık Eylül, Haziran ve Ekim aylarında görüldü. En sık başvuru şikayeti; el ve ayaklarda döküntü (%100), ateş (%82,1) ve oral aft (%79,5) idi. Lezyonlar, en sık el (%94,9, n=37), ayak (%87,2, n=34) ve ağız içinde (%79,5, n=31) görüldü. Üç hastada (%7,7) kardiyak tutulum saptandı. Takiplerde 10 hastada (%25,6) tırnak değişikliği gelişti. Sonuç: Çalışmamız sonucunda ülkemizde E...
A 50-year-old man was diagnosed with Behçet disease (BD) on the basis of an 8-year history of episodes of recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, papulopustular lesions on physical examination, and a positive pathergy test. Two years prior to diagnosis of BD, vitiligo had also been diagnosed on the basis of hypopigmented lesions on the scrotum following genital ulceration. To our knowledge, this is the first case of incidental coexistence of BD and vitiligo, and, furthermore, the first case of koebnerization of genital ulceration of BD.
Emergency department visits due to dermatologic disease is quite rare. Euphorbia helioscopia is a widely distributed plant in rural areas. E. helioscopia related contact dermatitis (Irritant contact dermatitis or allergic contact dermatitis) are known however only a few case reported in literature. We are reporting on three patients with contact dermatitis from E. helioscopia. Irritant contact dermatitis was occurred only one of these cases. This case refused to wash face with water. We recommend washing the face with water after contact with E. helioscopia.
