Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is the most common generalized pustular rash. It is a delayed immunological reaction involving cellular immunity and is characterized by the sudden, simultaneous onset of high fever and scarlatiniform sheet erythema, which, in several hours, is covered with numerous pustules with a lactescent content, non-follicular, sterile, predominant on the face, trunk, and folds. It regresses in less than fifteen days after stopping the causative agent giving way to diffuse desquamation. Several incriminating factors in the triggering of this reaction, in particular, at the top of the list, taking medication, a viral (enterovirus) or bacterial (streptococcal) infection, yet its occurrence following an insect bite has been exceptionally reported in the literature. The diagnosis is established according to clinical and histological criteria. Herein, we report the case of a young Moroccan female with generalized AGEP related to insect bites. Key words: Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis; EuroSCAR; Insect Bites
Hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans is caused by the intradermal migration of soil-dwelling filariform larvae of dog and cat hookworms, most commonly Ancylostoma, usually develop itchy skin lesions, usually consisting of migrating superficial serpiginous traces, or sometimes stationary follicular eruptions. The plantar topography or on the regions of the body in contact with the sand of the beaches of the Antilles, West Africa and East Asia, the presence of fine and not very mobile serpiginous furrows and eczematization with vesiculobullous eruption, are characteristic. There are misleading profuse forms such as pseudo-folliculitis. We present a Moroccan patient who developed the disease after their return from and who responded well to treatment with albendazole.
Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign skin condition, presenting as disseminated umbilical yellowish-pink papules, usually on the face. Histologically, each lesion consists of a large multilobed sebaceous gland whose acini confluence in a central collector that corresponds to the clinical umbilication The condition may occur sporadically as a result of chronological aging and photoaging, in a familial form or as a manifestation of Muir-Torre syndrome. Also, more and more cases of eruptive multiple sebaceous hyperplasia secondary to cyclosporine have been described of which we describe an exceptional case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
