“…Pitted keratolysis (PK) is a superficial, skin infection due to gram-positive bacteria, including Corynebacterium spp, Actinomyces spp, Dermatophilus sp., and Kytococcus sedentarius [ 29 ]. PK primarily affects the stratum corneum and may present as pits that coalesce into erosions on the plantar feet [ 30 ].…”

Gram-negative bacterial toe web infection (GNTWI) is a common dermatologic condition affecting the interdigital spaces. The clinical presentation ranges from mild erythema to exudative maceration of the web spaces that may extend to in other areas of the foot and lead to cellulitis in severe cases. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most commonly identified etiologic agent. Occlusive and humid environments, pre-existing dermatologic conditions, and fungal infections increase the risk of developing GNTWI. GNTWI has a broad differential diagnosis including erythrasma, tinea pedis, pitted keratolysis, eczematous dermatitis, and malignancies. Diagnosis is performed using bacterial and fungal cultures. There is a lack of a standardized treatment regimen for GNTWI. While GNTWI is fairly common, it may still be under-recognized by dermatologists due to the limited medical literature. This article presents a review of GNTWI, its clinical features, epidemiologic factors, etiologic agents, predisposing factors, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic options.

“…5) El uso de dermatoscopía tuvo más sensibilidad para la detección de queratólisis punctata que la simple observación visual. (Pattanaprichakul et al, 2021) No fue necesario la utilización de exámenes complementarios como el uso de tinciones o biopsia para su detección y diagnóstico.…”

Contexto La queratólisis punctata es una infección bacteriana, superficial de la epidermis, que afecta sobre todo a los pies y se ve condicionado por distintos factores. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia de Queratolisis Punctata en la población pediátrica rural y los factores que predisponen a esta patología, para así prevenir su propagación y estigmatización social. Diseño: Estudio observacional, descriptivo transversal. Lugar y sujetos: Un total de 20 niños entre 6 a 12 años, de la comunidad Indígena “Espiga de Oro” en la Escuela Orlando Perón, Cayambe – Ecuador (a 3600 msnm). Mediciones principales: Historia clínica, entrevista, observación visual, dermatoscopía y registro fotográfico. Resultados: La hiperpigmentación y queratosis demostrada por dermatoscopia se encontró en el 100% de los niños. Mientras que la triada clínica representada por humedad leve en un 55%, bromhidrosis leve en 70 % y erosión moderada en el 50%, fueron las manifestaciones más evidentes. Conclusión:Su diagnóstico es fundamentalmente clínico y puede confundirse con patologías fúngicas que retardan su tratamiento. Existen condicionantes ambientales y ocupacionales que predisponen a estas lesiones superficiales en los pies, su identificación oportuna evita su expansión y segregación.

Over the last three decades, the use of dermoscopy has been extended to inflammatory and infectious dermatoses. Regarding the latter, while the first applications concerned skin parasitoses, there has been a significant increase in the publication trend regarding nonparasitic dermatoses over recent years, yet data on this topic are sparse and often lack a standardized analytical approach. This systematic literature review summarizes published data on dermoscopy of bacterial, viral, and fungal dermatoses (dermoscopic findings, used setting, pathological correlation, and level of evidence of studies) and provides a homogeneous terminology of reported dermoscopic features according to a standardized methodology. A total of 152 papers addressing 43 different dermatoses and describing 184 different dermoscopic findings were included in the analysis. The majority of them displayed a level of evidence of V (107 single case reports and 40 case series), with only 5 studies showing a level of evidence of IV (case–control studies). Moreover, our analysis also underlined a high variability in the terminology used in published articles (even for the same dermatosis). Therefore, despite significant potential, future studies designed according to a systematic and standardized approach are required for a better characterization of dermoscopy of nonparasitic skin infections. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13555-022-00855-2.
