“…Reviewing the accessible literature (Medline; search strategy: ‘erupt* AND pseudoangiomat*’; September 2006), we identified a total of 57 reported cases, 27 of them in children [1, 2,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] and 30 in adults [3,4,5,13,14,15,16]. It is worth noting that although the disease was first described in children, meanwhile more adult cases are found in the literature.…”

Eruptive Pseudoangiomatosis: Report of an Adult Case and Unifying Hypothesis of the Pathogenesis of Paediatric and Adult Cases

One month after the onset of immunosuppressive treatment with corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil for a newly diagnosed pemphigus vulgaris, a 50-year-old female patient developed a new eruption clinically and histomorphologically consistent with eruptive pseudoangiomatosis (EP). Its self-limited course further confirmed this diagnosis. Although initially described as a paediatric eruption, meanwhile more adult cases of EP (30 out of a total of 53 cases identified by a Medline search) are reported in the literature. The review of adult cases of EP disclosed some common clinical and epidemiological characteristics: adult EP cases tend to cluster in the Mediterranean region of Europe, develop during the summer months, sometimes in the form of limited micro-epidemics, affect immunocompromised individuals and have lesions confined to the exposed skin sites. These characteristics, together with the exanthematic nature of the disease in children, point to some vector-transmitted infectious agent as the cause of this probably underdiagnosed disease.

“…In adults the disease was first described in the year 2000 [3, 4], notably in patients under immunosuppressive treatment. More recently insect bites have been proposed as a potential ‘cause’ to explain the aetiology of the disease in adults [5]. …”

“…2 Erüptif psödoanjiyomatozun etiyolojisi bilinmemektedir, ancak viral orijinli olduğunu savunan hipotezler mevcuttur.

Many arthropod species are capable of inflicting bites and stings on humans. They produce their effects on the skin by a variety of mechanisms, resulting in a wide spectrum of clinical lesions. Reaction to arthropod assaults can range from mild to life threatening. Diagnosis of arthropod bites is often self‐evident, but may be difficult when the source of the bites is not immediately obvious. An entomologist is often invaluable in these situations. Many diseases have arthropods vectors, for example malaria (mosquitoes), leishmaniasis (sandflies) and typhus (lice). The terrestrial arthropods of medical interest include the orders Insecta (insects), Arachnida (arachnida), Chilopoda (centipedes) and Diplopoda (millipedes).
