Abstract:The authors present a review of neutrophilic dermatoses that have great impact on the health of patients: Sweet syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum, Behçet's disease and neutrophilic urticaria. Major clinical aspects, histopathological changes and management options are discussed based on the results and conclusions of relevant studies recently published and on the authors' experience. Keywords: Pyoderma; Behcet's Syndrome, Sweet Syndrome, UrticariaResumo: Os autores apresentam uma revisão das dermatoses neutrofílicas que possuem grande repercussão à saúde dos pacientes: síndrome de Sweet, pioderma gangrenoso, doença de Behçet e urticá-ria neutrofílica.

This article addresses neutrophilic dermatoses, thus complementing the previous article (part I). The following dermatoses are introduced and discussed: subcorneal pustular dermatosis (Sneddon-Wilkinson disease), dermatitis cruris pustulosa et atrophicans, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, continuous Hallopeau acrodermatitis, palmoplantar pustulosis, infantile acropustulosis, Andrews' pustular bacteride and eosinophilic pustular folliculitis. A brief review of neutrophilic dermatoses in pediatric patients is also conducted. Keywords: Neutrophil infiltration; Pediatrics; Skin diseases Resumo: Neste artigo são abordadas as dermatoses neutrofílicas, complementando o artigo anterior (parte I).

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome HIV/(AIDS) infection has become a chronic disease. This change led to a growing interest in outcomes focusing on the individual, such as health-related quality-of-life (QoL), to assess the impact of treatments. Our study evaluated the impact of the use of antiretroviral drugs, factors related to the infection and socioeconomic factors on the HQoL of HIV-infected patients. A total of 367 patients answered the questionnaire based on the World Health Organization QoL for HIV brief version. According to the modified-Poisson regression approach, the use of antiretroviral drugs was associated with worse QoL in the domain of the level of independence (P = 0.016). Being unemployed was associated with a worse QoL (P < 0.05) in five out of six domains; the only exception was the domain of spirituality (P > 0.05). Among the factors assessed, the socioeconomic aspects were most significant in determining the HQoL of the patients studied.
