A Case of Acne Fulminans in a Patient with Ulcerative Colitis Successfully Treated with Prednisolone and Diaminodiphenylsulfone: A Literature Review of Acne Fulminans, Rosacea Fulminans and Neutrophilic Dermatoses Occurring in the Setting of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

A 19-year-old Japanese man had been treated for ulcerative colitis for 2 years. He was admitted to our hospital with nodulocystic inflammatory papules and pustules on his face and chest, high-grade fever, arthralgia and general malaise. A biopsy specimen from a pustule showed prominent infiltration of neutrophils in the epidermis and dermis, particularly around hair follicles. We made a diagnosis of acne fulminans. The systemic administration of prednisolone at 30 mg daily for 1 week immediately improved his skin lesions and other symptoms; however, during tapering of prednisolone at 20 mg daily, skin lesions flared up. The addition of oral diaminodiphenylsulfone improved the skin lesions. Although there have been a few reports of acne fulminans associated with Crohn’s disease, this is the first case report of acne fulminans in a patient with ulcerative colitis. It is noteworthy that the addition of diaminodiphenylsulfone was effective for treating the relapse of acne fulminans in this case.

“…This points towards a role of S. lugdunensis in the aggravation and secondary colonization of HS lesions. 3,4 Staphylococcus lugdunensis has also been associated with biofilm-driven infections in different tissues. 5 Therefore, we compared the in vitro growth, antibiotic susceptibility and biofilm-forming capabilities of S. lugdunensis strains from HS lesions with those of healthy controls and a reference strain.…”

“…The patient was diagnosed with rosacea fulminans, based on the typical course of the disease and characteristic clinical picture, as well as described in literature co-occurrence of AF with inflammatory diseases of the intestines. [3][4][5][6][7] CRP decreased to 54.93 mg/L in control tests. Patient in good general condition was discharged home.…”

“…The SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) syndrome was first described in 1987 and has been predominately associated with hyperostosis of the anterior chest and various skin abnormalities such as palmoplantar pustulosis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne conglobata and acne fulminans 11 . AF has been reported to develop at the onset of Crohn’s disease, but the significance of this association is unclear 12 …”

Acne fulminans (AF) is a rare severe form of acne vulgaris associated with systemic symptoms. It primarily affects male adolescents. Although the aetiology of AF remains unknown, many theories have been advanced to explain it. There have been reported associations with increased androgens, autoimmune complex disease and genetic pre-disposition. The disease is destructive, with the acute onset of painful, ulcerative nodules on the face, chest and back. The associated systemic manifestations such as fever, weight loss and musculoskeletal pain are usually present at the onset. The patients are febrile, with leucocytosis and an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate. They may require several weeks of hospitalization. The treatment of AF has been challenging; the response to traditional acne therapies is poor. The recommended treatment is aggressive and consists of a combination of oral steroids and isotretinoin. To avoid the relapses, duration of such treatment should not be less than 3-5 months. Although the prognosis for patients treated appropriately is good, these acute inflammatory nodules often heal with residual scarring.
