Trichoscopy is an office tool used in the diagnosis of alopecia but its utility has not been assessed.To compare trichoscopic characteristics different types alopecia, identify features diagnostic value, and to determine trichoscopy alopecia.A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed patients with alopecia. After clinical assessment relevant investigations, using a non-polarized trichoscope (×10). The difficult cases assessed statistically.One hundred twenty (90 non-cicatricial, 30...
Abstract Background Anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies (anti-αvβ6) are present in up to 90% of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and predate disease development, but there is a paucity data regarding anti-αvβ6 Crohn’s (CD). We hypothesized that would be colonic CD given the shared biological characteristics with UC. Methods measured IgG peripheral blood samples from seven distinct cohorts representing diverse ethnic backgrounds, geographical locations stages including preclinical, incident...
Abstract Background: Filaggrin deficiency causes early-onset atopic dermatitis (AD), extrinsic AD, persistent and severe disease, palmoplantar hyper linearity, keratosis pilaris, increased risk of hand eczema. There is a paucity data on the prevalence types variation in filaggrin gene ( FLG ) Indian population. Aim Objectives: To study characteristics mutations children affected with AD to attempt genotype-phenotype correlation. Materials Methods: A pilot was done among aged 4-16 years,...
Abstract Anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies (anti-αvβ6) are present in up to 90% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), but there is a paucity data regarding anti-αvβ6 Crohn’s disease (CD). We hypothesized that would be colonic CD given the shared biological characteristics UC. measured IgG 1,815 peripheral blood samples from six cohorts both USA and Leuven, Belgium. These represent established incident IBD as well non-IBD controls (HC). compared levels by type (UC, CD, HC) location...
Hepatobiliary diseases are associated with various mucocutaneous changes that directly and indirectly these diseases. There is a dearth of studies from India dealing cutaneous manifestations in liver disorders.This study was conducted to know the spectrum their correlation function tests patients disorders hepatobiliary system.This descriptive among outpatients primary at tertiary care center South India. Detailed history taking examination done. Visual analog score (VAS) 5D itch employed...
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a reactive neutrophilic inflammatory dermatosis with varied clinicopathologic presentation. It commonly manifests as rapidly progressive painful ulcers, mimicking conditions including infections, vasculitis, and malignancies, diagnosis of exclusion. There are scarce data on PG from the Indian subcontinent.
Identification of CARD14-associated papulosquamous eruption (CAPE) is important as it helps in determining prognosis and management those affected. We report two siblings with genetically confirmed CAPE presenting treatment-resistant erythroderma one patient patterned psoriatic plaques facial predominance the other.
Objectives: Dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) is associated with HLA-B*13:01 in Chinese and south-east Asians. This association has not been studied among Indians. The objective was to study the between DHS Indian patients. Methodology: A case – control done south India (January 2016 March 2018). Prevalence of 8 cases compared its prevalence 324 controls (113 patient controls, 211 population controls). HLA-B*13 typing 2 steps: First, positivity determined using intermediate resolution...
Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) refers to non-syndromic caused by mutations in one of the 13 identified genes. There are limited data on genotype ARCI and its phenotypic correlation from India.The aim this study was characterize among patients Indian subcontinent.Twenty-eight clinically diagnosed as were recruited prospectively September 2017 June 2019 (21 months). DNA extracted peripheral blood analyzed for described genes-TGM1, ABCA12, ALOX12B, ALOXE3, CERS3, CYP4F22,...

Skin serves as a window to diagnose many systemic diseases, including inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). IEM occur due disturbance in the carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and other micronutrients. Amino acid disorders, organic acidurias, transport defects, urea cycle storage micronutrient defects are some them which included under this spectrum. As timely intervention can improve outcome these conditions, it is prudent be aware their clinical presentation. Dermatologist play crucial role...
ABSTRACT Vitamin D‐dependent rickets type 2A (VDDR2A) is a rare cause of infantile‐onset alopecia, characterized by severe hypotrichosis, small cutaneous cysts, early‐onset treatment‐resistant rickets, and hypocalcemia. Alopecia, often starting few weeks to months after birth, may be the presenting feature. We present three cases VDDR2A with genetic variants in vitamin D receptor ( VDR ) gene, their clinical features biochemical parameters. This case series emphasizes that early...
To the Editor: A 20-year-old woman presented with multiple asymptomatic rough skin lesions in a linear distribution over left forearm and arm since birth. She did not have any systemic complaints, her family history was unremarkable. Cutaneous examination revealed follicular nonfollicular keratotic papules comedones (Fig. 1). Other mucocutaneous, general, examinations were within normal limits. Differential diagnosis of nevus comedonicus (NC), comedonal Darier disease, porokeratotic eccrine...
A 4-year-old boy with extensive papules and nodules arthritis was evaluated followed up. In spite of the initial worrisome presentation, lesions showed near-complete resolution over a 2-year follow-up period. Click here for corresponding questions to this CME article.
