Данный миниобзор посвящен изучению роли микробиома кожи и, в частности, роли стафилококков в обострении атопического дерматита у взрослых людей. Были проанализированы предпосылки бактериальной контаминации кожи и роль факторов внешней среды. Представлены данные по влиянию S. aureaus на разные звенья природного и адаптивного иммунитета за счет синтеза специфических регуляторных белков, протеолитических ферментов и гидролаз. Обозначены некоторые направления борьбы с бактериальной инфекцией для предупреждения обострения атопического дерматита у взрослых. In this mini review we have analyzed the role of skin microbiome in the atopic dermatitis relapse in adults, in particular, a role of S. aureaus in this process. The background for the skin bacterial contamination under the influence of environmental factors has been analyzed. We reviewed some S. aureaus effects on the components of innate and adaptive immunity due to the secretion of specific regulatory proteins, a number of proteolytic enzymes, and some hydrolases. There were indicated some ways to eliminate the bacterial infection to prevent the atopic dermatitis relapse in adults

Abstract Introduction Herpetic whitlows in infants are rare. Previous authors only reported individual case reports. We present a case series of six infants. Materials and Methods This is a retrospective study of six cases of herpetic whitlows in infants seen by the senior author (MMA) over the past 23 years (1995–2017 inclusive). The following data were collected: age, sex, digit involved in the hand, mode of transmission, time of presentation to the author, clinical appearance, presence of secondary bacterial infection, presence of other lesions outside the hand, method of diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. Results All six infants initially presented with classic multiple vesicles of the digital pulp. In all cases, there was a history of active herpes labialis in the mother. Incision and drainage or deroofing of the vesicles (for diagnostic purposes) resulted in secondary bacterial infection. Conclusion The current report is the first series in the literature on herpetic whitlows in infants. We stress on the mode of transmission (from the mother) and establishing the diagnosis clinically. In these cases, no need for obtaining viral cultures or polymerase chain reaction; and no medications are required. Once the vesicles are disrupted, secondary bacterial infection is frequent and a combination of oral acyclovir and intravenous antibiotics will be required.
