Acne fulminans (AF), also known as acne maligna, is a rare painful ulcerative form of acne with an abrupt onset and systemic symptoms. Its incidence appears to be decreasing, possibly because of earlier and better treatment of acne. This report highlights a case on a necrotizing facial wound due to AF that was successfully treated with oral prednisolone and antimicrobial medication.

Acne fulminans (AF) is a rare, acute, and severe form of acne vulgaris often associated with systemic symptoms. Its treatment is challenging and controversial. We report a case of isotretinoin-induced AF (IIAF) in a 12-year-old boy resistant to traditional therapies (oral steroids and isotretinoin). The patient was successfully treated with adalimumab that can be considered an effective off-label option in the treatment of resistant IIAF in children.

Isotretinoin-induced acne fulminans without systemic symptoms (IIAF-WOSS) is an uncommon clinical variant of acne, not exhibiting systemic symptoms but with potentially severe skin lesions. Some authors believe that its occurrence is dose-dependent. Herein, we present the case of a sixteen-year-old boy with IIAF-WOSS, which developed two weeks after starting treatment with isotretinoin 0.6 mg/kg/day. The patient was successfully treated with a systemic steroid. IIAF-WOSS may cause significant disfiguring scarring, thus the physician needs to be aware of this condition, even early with low doses of isotretinoin.

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of C. fasciolaris with common rats. Cysticercus fasciolaris is the larval stage of Taenia taeniaeformis . Development of metacestodes ( Cysticercus fasciolaris) occur in the liver of rodents. An urban and a sylvatic cycle occurs. A total of 40 liver specimens of rats were examined. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of multiple hepatic cysts, and the C. fasciolaris larva was surrounded by granulation tissue. Large and separated ûbroblasts in different orientations with some neoplastic changes were seen in advanced hepatic cysticercosis. The bladder involved the larva and large chamber containing the small chamber and opalescent fluid. The scolex of the mature larva is distinctly large, bearing four lateral distinct suckers, a rostellum armed with double, and alternating rows of hooks.
