“…Among penicillins, piperacillin and tazobactam appear to be most associated with neurotoxic events, with several reported cases. Hoigne's syndrome is an acute psychotic, toxic, nonallergic reaction most commonly associated with procaine penicillin [ 6 ]. Patients with advanced renal failure are particularly at increased risk.…”

Antibiomania is a rare type of secondary mania caused by antibiotics. Here, we describe the first case report of antibiomania in a peritoneal dialysis patient caused by ceftazidime, a cephalosporin antibiotic. Manic symptoms were noted in the patient described here a few days after starting the antibiotic and worsened over the course of a few weeks of antibiotic treatment. There is a close temporal relationship between the start of antibiotics and the onset of manic symptoms in this case. Antibiotics from various groups have been implicated as the causative agents in a few case reports of antibiomania. Several hypotheses have been postulated regarding the underlying mechanism of antibiomania. The authors of this article highlight the importance of recognizing the psychiatric side effects of antibiotics early and formulating effective management options to prevent detrimental effects on a patient's clinical condition.

Postmenopausaler Lichen planopilaris alias fibrosierende frontotemporale Alopezie Kossard

et al. 2018

Postmenopausal lichen planopilaris (PLPP), also known as fibrosing frontotemporal alopecia Kossard (FFAK), is a not uncommon inflammatory scalp disease affecting approximately 5% of patients at specialized hair centers. The overall incidence of sporadic occurrence is believed to be just under 1% in the older, predominantly female, general population. Since the disease is often undiagnosed, it is statistically likely to be underrepresented. It especially occurs in postmenopausal women who are in the 6th and 7th decade of life (90%), but also in about 10% of premenopausal women, and in men it is documented only in isolated cases. The result is a permanent scarring hair loss accentuated at the front hairline with backward movement towards the neck mostly accompanied by a typical loss of the eyebrows. The disease therefore often leads to significant mental distress and social anxiety in those affected. This is the basis for a compelling need to develop evidence-based therapeutic concepts. While numerous retrospective case series have characterized the phenomenology of FFAK very well, to date there are no randomized controlled trials on evidence-based therapy. Here, we present the Homburger Evidence-Oriented Therapy Algorithm, which is oriented along the available case series evidence: It may (1) serve as a therapy guide for practice and (2) can be used as a basis for working out reliable data based on study evidence. The article contains detailed practical information on photo documentation, biopsy and histological processing up to the practical implementation of, for example, intralesional steroid therapy as well as information on selection criteria for suitable systemic therapies.
