<h3>Importance</h3> Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by hair loss that can impose a substantial psychological burden on patients, including major depressive disorder (MDD), yet many patients report mental health symptoms prior to the onset of AA. As such, there may be association between MDD and AA acts in both directions. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess bidirectional <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This population-based retrospective cohort study included 10...
• We report the second and third cases of pachyonychia congenita inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder. Our were unusual, with fingernails showing a striking leukonychia appearing clinically Terry's nails. These patients originally diagnosed having epidermolysis bullosa simplex because history life-long blistering The clinical features inheritance congenita, well reasons for long delay in diagnosis our cases, are discussed.

Kindler syndrome is a genodermatosis that combines clinical features of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa and poikiloderma congenitale. The ultrastructural level blister formation has not been well characterized.Two brothers with had history primarily acral blistering since infancy as photosensitivity. Blister was found through the basal layer. Marked tonofilament clumping in intact keratinocytes adjacent to blisters. younger brother (aged 21 years) actinic keratoses, which have previously...
Background. Wrestlers are at increased risk of developing cutaneous infections, including fungal infections caused by dermatophytes. Erythematous lesions due to tinea can be mistakenly diagnosed as an inflammatory dermatitis and incorrectly treated with potent topical corticosteroid treatments which cause localized skin immunosuppression. This eventuate in a Majocchi granuloma then becomes refractory antifungal therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first case corporis gladiatorum presenting...
Primary immunodeficiency disorders, such as ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), may rarely be associated with cutaneous granulomas without an identifiable infection. The authors report a case of 3-year-old boy A-T who presented two persistent ulcerated erythematous nodules. Histopathology was consistent granulomatous process secondary to A-T, infectious origin. Partial improvement noted clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream applied twice daily under occlusion. Of note, the presence multiple...
To provide information about the epidemiology, clinical features, and management of cutaneous tinea infections.This continuing education activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses with an interest in skin wound care.After completing this activity, you should be better able to:1. Summarize epidemiology related to infections.2. Describe features infections.3. Identify diagnosis infections.Dermatophyte or infection refers a group superficial fungal...
