  • Blood Plasma Bromide Levels in Bromoderma' Lester W
    BLOOD PLASMA BROMIDE LEVELS IN BROMODERMA' LESTER W. KIMBERLY, M.D.2 (Received for publication May 16, 1939) The ordinary cutaneous manifestations of bromide eruptions are well known. Numerous reports have appeared in the litera- ture supporting various theories as to the development of cutane- ous lesions due to bromides but practically no one has studied the plasma bromide levels with relation to bromoderma. Hanes and Yates (1) found approximately 0.9 per cent of the total admissions to Duke Hospital had increased amounts of bromide in their plasma. They also found that 28 per cent of 64 patients with blood serum bromides above 200 mgm. had bromoderma. The percentage of patients with significantly elevated plasma bromides is even higher among patients admitted to psychopathic hospitals. Szadek (2) believed that the cutaneous eruption originated from an irritation of the sebaceous glands. Laudenheimer (3) and Von Wyss (4) thought that the ingestion of bromide led to a gradual retention of the drug in the tissues and the replacement of the chloride. Engman and Mook (5) felt that the lesions were more apt to occur at the site of previous inflammation and that trauma might play a part, thereby explaining the predilection of a bromoderma for old seborrheic or acne areas. Wile (6) stated that he was unable to demonstrate the drug in the content of the lesions and he believed that it was not present unless there was an admixture of blood serum. Bloch and Tenchio (7) considered bromoderma to be an idiosyncratic phenome- non of the skin and mucous membranes brought about by sensitization.

    6728 Old McLean Village Drive, McLean, VA 22101 Tel: 571.488.6000 Fax: 703.556.8729 www.clintox.org Date: 1/9/2017 Question: Botulism is an uncommon disorder caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum. Seven subtypes of botulinum toxin exist (subtypes A, B, C, D, E, F and G). Which subtypes have been noted to cause human disease and which ones have been reported to cause infant botulism specifically in the United States? Answer: According to the cited reference “Only subtypes A, B, E and F cause disease in humans, and almost all cases of infant botulism in the United States are caused by subtypes A and B. Botulinum-like toxins E and F are produced by Clostridium baratii and Clostridium butyricum and are only rarely implicated in infant botulism” (Rosow RK and Strober JB. Infant botulism: Review and clinical update. 2015 Pediatr Neurol 52: 487-492) Date: 1/10/2017 Question: A variety of clinical forms of botulism have been recognized. These include wound botulism, food borne botulism, and infant botulism. What is the most common form of botulism reported in the United States? Answer: According to the cited reference, “In the United States, infant botulism is by far the most common form [of botulism], constituting approximately 65% of reported botulism cases per year. Outside the United States, infant botulism is less common.” (Rosow RK and Strober JB.

    Provisional chapter Chapter 10 Histopathologic Evaluation of Acneiform Eruptions: HistopathologicPractical Algorithmic Evaluation Proposal of Acneiformfor Acne Lesions Eruptions: Practical Algorithmic Proposal for Acne Lesions Murat Alper and Fatma Aksoy Khurami Murat Alper and Fatma Aksoy Khurami Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/65494 Abstract Acneiform lesions are encountered in different chapters in various dermatology and der- matopathology textbooks. The most common titles used for these disorders are diseases of the hair, diseases of cutaneous appendages, folliculitis, acne, and inflammatory lesions of dermis and epidermis. In this chapter, first of all we will discuss folliculitis, and then acne vulgaris that is a kind of folliculitis will be described. After acne vulgaris, other acneiform eruptions and demodicosis will be studied. At the end, simple algorithmic schemes by assembling clinical, pathological, and microbiological data will be shared. Keywords: acneiform lesions, algorithm, histopathologic evaluation 1. Introduction 1.1. Histology of pilar unit Pilar unit is a structure generally made up of three subunits which are hair follicle, seba- ceous gland, and arrector pili muscle. Hair follicle is divided in to three parts: infundibulum, isthmus, and inferior part. Infundibulum extends between entrance of sebaceous gland duct to the follicular orifice in epidermis. Isthmus: extends between entrance of sebaceous duct to hair follicle and insertion of arrector pili muscle. The basal part of hair follicle is called the inferior segment or inferior part. Histologic structure and function of hair follicle is very intriguing. Demodex folliculorum mites, Staphylococcus epidermis, and yeast of pityrosporum can be seen and can be a normal component of pilosebaceous unit.

  • Drug Eruptions
    DRUG ERUPTIONS E. W. NETHERTON, M.D. For practical purposes, the cutaneous manifestions of the toxic effects of drugs may be divided into two groups: (1) Those in which the injury is a result of external contact with the drug; as for example, sulphur, mercury, iodine and other drugs commonly used by the physician, and (2) eruptions which result from the introduction of drugs into the body by various methods, which most frequently is by ingestion. In the first group are classified the cases known as derma- titis venenata. Although individuals vary greatly in their suceptibil- ity to such drugs, their prolonged use, which commonly is by topical applications, produces irritation and if they are used for a long time or in a concentration which is too strong, they will produce dermatitis in a large percentage of patients. The second group is commonly spoken of as dermatitis medicamentosa. In this group there is, like- wise, an individual variation in susceptibility. Bromides, iodides, and arsenic when administered for a sufficiently long time will produce an eruption in a large number of patients, while other drugs such as quinine, phenolphthalein, and the various barbituric acid derivatives when ingested by the majority of individuals do not affect the skin, but in a few cases may produce fairly characteristic eruptions. There is a third group of cases in which it has been demonstrated that an eruption develops either after contact or by introduction into the body of a specific drug. Wise and Sulzberger1 observed a case in which a dermatitis was produced when quinine was applied externally to the skin or when it was taken by mouth.

    CASE REPORTS Year: 2018 I Volume: 1 I Issue: 3 I Page: 96-99 A CASE REPORT WITH REVIEW OF LITERATURE ON PYODERMA FACIALE IN PREGNANCY – A THERAPEUTIC DILEMMA Rahul Kumar Sharma1, Susanne Pulimood1, Dincy Peter1, Leni George1 1Department Of Dermatology Christian Medical College Vellore Corresponding Author: Dr. Rahul Kumar Sharma Consultant Dermatologist, Ajmer Email: [email protected] Abstract Pyoderma faciale is a rare facial dermatosis. It is characterized by a fulminating course of facial inflammation consisting of numerous pustules, cystic swellings and coalescing sinuses in young women. It has to be differentiated from acne and rosacea. The aetiopathogenesis of pyoderma faciale is not yet identified. It has been associated with pregnancy in a few cases. We report a case of a primigravida who presented with sudden onset of pustules and cystic swellings over the face with no prior similar history which was diagnosed as pyoderma faciale. In view of her pregnancy, systemic retinoids which is the treatment of choice was contraindicated and so was treated with tapering doses of oral steroids in combination with topical therapy. There was complete resolution of symptoms with treatment and a good obstetric outcome. Key words: pyoderma faciale, pregnancy Introduction Pyoderma faciale was formerly described by O'Leary and Kierland in 1940.1 It is a rare facial dermatosis characterized by the sudden onset of severe facial inflammation consisting of numerous pustules, cystic swellings and coalescing sinuses. Plewig et al considered it as an extreme form of rosacea and termed it as rosacea fulminans.2 But it is not yet clear whether this condition is a variant of rosacea or acne vulgaris or a separate entity.

It is characterized by many changes in morphology and appearance of the body (biological maturation), in the psyche – development of personality (psychological mat - uration), and in the attitude towards one’s own and the opposite sex (psychosexual maturation), and in the social role (social maturation). Dermatological problems of adolescence are mainly related to fluctuations in hormone lev - els, mainly androgens. They include acne, hair problems and excessive sweating. Acne vulgaris is the most frequently diagnosed dermatosis in patients aged between 11 and 30 years. It is believed that it affects about 80% of persons in this age group or even, taking into account lesions of low intensity, 100% of young people. Excessive sweating is a condition characterised by excessive production of sweat, resulting from high activity of sweat glands. The sweat glands are localised in almost all areas of the body surface but on the hands, feet, armpits and around the groin they are found at the highest density. Seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory der - matosis, which currently affects about 5% of the population. It affects mostly young people, particularly men. Key words: puberty, acne, hyperhidrosis, hair. Introduction lieved that it affects about 80% of persons in this age group Puberty is a period of life between childhood and adult - or even, taking into account lesions of low intensity, 100% hood.
