A similar text has appeared in five German editions since 1987 and been highly successful. The goal of this book is to present everything one needs to diagnose and treat most cutaneous diseases in a compact, “one-stop” resource, care- fully edited by three experienced dermatologists. The therapeutic options represent best practice internationally and reflect the diversified experience of three dermato- logists, one of whom trained and worked in the USA for 20 years. The contents have been extensively reviewed with the help of a number of colleagues listed on the title page. Some of them have provided additional input for the English version, including Drs. Peter von den Driesch, Bertold Rzany, Christiane Voit, and Margitta Worm. In addition, Dr. Maja Hoffmann helped with the differential diagnos- tic considerations in the last chapter. We would especially like to thank Dr. Gerd Wolf, who provided constructive criticism and detailed information on topical therapy. Mr. Stephan Konnry at Thieme International guided the writing and production of this text. He was helped by Dr. Cliff Bergman and Dr. Christiane Brill-Schmid. We thank all three individuals for their cooperative spirit and valuable input. We hope that you will enjoy reading this Clinical Companion as an introduction to dermatology and, moreover, that you find it helpful, if not indispensable, in your clinical training and practice. We are eager to hear from you, with complaints, con- structive suggestions, or even praise. Wolfram Sterry, M.D. Ralf Paus, M.D. Walter Burgdorf, M.D. V .

  • Primary Cutaneous Nocardiosis: a Case Study and Review
    Study Primary cutaneous nocardiosis: A case study and review Arun C. Inamadar, Aparna Palit Department of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy, BLDEA’s SBMP Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Bijapur, India. Address for correspondence: Dr. Arun C. Inamadar, Professor & Head, Department of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy, BLDEA’s SBMP Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Bijapur - 586103, India. E-mail: [email protected]. ABSTRACT Background: Primary cutaneous nocardiosis is an uncommon entity. It usually occurs among immunocompetent but occupationally predisposed individuals. Aim: To study clinical profile of patients with primary cutaneous nocardiosis in a tertiary care hospital and to review the literature. Methods: The records of 10 cases of primary cutaneous nocardiosis were analyzed for clinical pattern, site of involvement with cultural study and response to treatment. Results: All the patients were agricultural workers (nine male) except one housewife. The commonest clinical type was mycetoma. Unusual sites like the scalp and back were involved in two cases. Culture was positive in six cases with N. brasiliensis being commonest organism. N. nova which was previously unreported cause of lymphocutaneous nocardiosis, was noted in one patient, who had associated HIV infection. All the patients responded to cotrimaxazole. Conclusion: Mycetoma is the commonest form of primary cutaneous nocardiosis and responds well to cotrimoxazole. KEY WORDS: Primary cutaneous nocardiosis, Mycetoma, Lymphocutaneous nocardiosis INTRODUCTION infection is prevalent. Many of the large series on nocardial infections mention the incidence of Cutaneous nocardiosis presents either as a part of cutaneous nocardiosis without specifying whether the disseminated infection or as a primary infection infection is primary or secondary.

Of the patients referred to a dermatologist for generalized pruritus with no apparent primary cutaneous cause, 14 to 24 percent have a systemic etiology. In the absence of a primary skin lesion, the review of systems should include evaluation for thyroid disorders, lymphoma, kidney and liver diseases, and diabetes mellitus. Findings suggestive of less seri- ous etiologies include younger age, localized symptoms, acute onset, involvement limited to exposed areas, and a clear association with a sick contact or recent travel. Chronic or general- ized pruritus, older age, and abnormal physical findings should increase concern for underly- ing systemic conditions.

It can be a challenging differential diagnosis in dermatology practice due to several overlapping features with rheumatologic disorders. Patients with leprosy can develop reactive states as a result of immune complex-mediated inflammatory processes, leading to the appearance of additional cutaneous lesions that may further complicate the clinical picture. We describe a case of a woman presenting with a long history of a recurrent bullous rash with chronic ulcers, with an evolution of vasculitic diagnoses, who was later determined to have lepromatous leprosy with reactive erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL). Introduction accompanied by an intense bullous purpuric rash on management of sepsis secondary to bacteremia, Leprosy is a slowly progressive disease caused by bilateral arms and face.

Nowadays, however, they can occur in urban areas also. Lakhs of people every year are bitten or stung by someone or something. These emergencies include bites and stings due to various reasons. These bites or stings need to be identified and treated early as they affect some part or the whole of the body which can cause mild, moderate or severe reaction and can even be life-threatening. Most are not medical emergencies but however, treatment is usually required if there is bleeding, wounds or infection. All bites and stings are not same. Different First Aid treatment and care is needed depending on the type of insect or animal that has caused the bite. Some species are more dangerous and cause more harm compared to others.

  • A Case of Igg/Iga Pemphigus Presenting Malar Rash-Like Erythema
    164 Letters to the Editor A Case of IgG/IgA Pemphigus Presenting Malar Rash-like Erythema Satomi Hosoda1, Masayuki Suzuki1, Mayumi Komine1*, Satoru Murata1, Takashi Hashimoto2 and Mamitaro Ohtsuki1 Departments of Dermatology, 1Jichi Medical University, 3311-1 Yakushiji, Shimotsuke, Tochigi 329-0498 and 2Kurume University School of Medicine, and Kurume University Institute of Cutaneous Cell Biology, Fukuoka, Japan. *E-mail: [email protected] Accepted August 17, 2011. Pemphigus is an autoimmune mucocutaneous bullous disease characterized by auto-antibodies against cell surface antigens of epidermal keratinocytes. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are the major subtypes. Several other variants have been proposed, in- cluding pemphigus erythematosus, pemphigus vegetans, pemphigus herpetiformis (PH), and paraneoplastic pem- phigus. Deposition of IgG on epidermal keratinocyte cell surfaces and circulating anti-cell surface antibodies are characteristic in pemphigus. Cases involving IgA depo- sition on epidermal keratinocyte cell surfaces have been reported as IgA pemphigus. IgA pemphigus is divided into 4 subgroups based on clinical manifestation: subcorneal pustular dermatosis type, intraepidermal neutrophilic IgA dermatosis type, pemphigus foliaceus type, and pemphi- gus vulgaris type. Cases involving deposition of both IgG and IgA on keratinocyte cell surfaces have been reported (1–13). Some authors describe them as IgG/IgA pemphi- gus (1). Seventeen such cases have been reported so far, and heterogeneity of clinical features and target antigen has been detected in this group of pemphigus. Fig. 1.
