“…Other diseases, including acne, lichen planus, and pemphigus vulgaris, have similarly been described at sites of ionizing radiotherapy, conventional external beam radiotherapy, and UV radiation. 4,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] In 1989, Socie et al 15 described 4 patients with sclerotictype cGVHD occurring within radiation portals. This phenomenon has been also observed with acute GVHD and lichenoid-type cGVHD.…”

Background: The mechanisms responsible for the variable manifestations of chronic cutaneous graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) are poorly understood. Localization of sclerotic-type chronic graft-vs-host disease to sites of skin injury (isomorphic and isotopic responses), a recognized phenomenon in morphea, suggests a potential common pathway between cGVHD and other sclerotic skin conditions. Observations: Four cases of sclerotic-type cGVHD developed at the site of disparate skin injuries (ionizing radiotherapy, repeated needle sticks, central catheter site, and varicella-zoster virus infection). We review the spectrum of previously reported cases of sclerotic and nonsclerotic cGVHD relating to external forces on the skin. Conclusions: Localization of sclerotic-type cGVHD may occur after many types of skin injury, including UV and ionizing radiotherapy, needle sticks, viral infection, and pressure or friction. Recognition of this phenomenon may be helpful for the early diagnosis of sclerotic disease. Recent insights into the immunological consequences of minor skin injury may provide important clues to the underlying pathogenesis of cGVHD-mediated skin disease.

“…In one retrospective analysis of 100 cases of eczema herpeticum, most occurred in patients with untreated atopic dermatitis [1]. However, eczema herpeticum can be associated with other skin conditions with a wide range of etiologies-not just allergic or autoimmunesuch as seborrheic dermatitis [2], pemphigus [3], second degree burns [4], and conditions due to sun exposure [5].…”

Question 1. Based on the evidence to date, which of the following describes the incidence of eczema herpeticum? The incidence has probably not changed over the last 50 years The incidence is probably falling The incidence is probably increasing Question 2. Based on epidemiological data, in patients with atopic dermatitis (eczema), which one of the following is most likely to predispose them to developing eczema herpeticum? Low total levels of serum IgE Earlier onset of atopic dermatitis Corticosteroid treatment Question 3. Which one of the following statements best refl ects the association between eczema herpeticum and other skin diseases? Eczema herpeticum most commonly occurs in patients with pre-existing atopic dermatitis Eczema herpeticum only occurs in patients with preexisting atopic dermatitis Eczema herpeticum can occur in a variety of skin diseases, all of which are either allergic or autoimmune This quiz is related to the Learning Forum article in the November issue of PLoS Medicine
