Granulomatous Dermatitis

Juvenile sterile granulomatous dermatitis is an uncommon granulomatous and pustular disorder of the face, pinnae, and submandibular lymph nodes of puppies. A 10-week-old male Pekingese and a 8-week-old female German shepherd presented with submandibular lymphadenomegaly, skin lesions on muzzle and periocular area (Papules, crusts and pustules). The case did not respond to antibiotic therapy. Results of a hemogram, biochemical panel, and urinalysis were normal. Due to skin scraping, cytology examination (impression smear), fungal and bacterial culture and response to therapy puppy strangle (juvenile cellulitis) was diagnosed. The puppies made a full recovery on glucocorticoid therapy. The present case report describes the first report of juvenile sterile granulomatous dermatitis in Iran.

We describe a case report of disseminated cutaneous sporotrichosis as the initial presentation of AIDS in a 24-year-old HIV-positive male patient. He presented multiple ulcerated skin lesions distributed over the face, thorax, legs and arms. Biopsy of one of the cutaneous lesions was suggestive of sporotrichosis and culture isolated Sporothrix schenckii. Itraconazole was started and the lesions progressively resolved after 15 days of medication. The patient was discharged with this medication but he did not return for follow-up. He died three months later in another hospital. Therapy of sporotrichosis in HIV-infected patients remains unclear and the response to therapy is variable. Itraconazole is highly concentrated in the skin and is one of the options for treatment of disseminated sporotrichosis.

Skin lesions were reported in a group of quarantined Omani native cattle for exportation purpose during January 2018. The skin lesions were reported in 17 animals out of 140 and were scattered over the head, neck, back and perineal region of the animals. Lesions varied from paint-brush matted hairs to wart-like lesions that are up to 2 cm in diameter. Skin scraping samples were obtained from the living animals and were directly stained with gram stain. Histologically, there was severe multifocal exudative dermatitis with hyperkeratosis. Dermis was infiltrated with neutrophils, mononuclear cells, and numerous branching filaments coccoid bodies. Bacterial culture on sheep blood agar revealed gray to white, beta hemolytic, raised and irregularly shaped colonies. Gram staining showed gram positive branching filaments with both transverse and longitudinal fragments formed from packs of coccoid cells confined with Dermatophilus congolensis. Animals were treated successfully with 3 doses of intra muscular injection of long-acting oxytetracycline with topical application of antibiotic spray. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of dermatophilosis in Omani cattle.

Patient M., 23 years old, consulted a dermatologist with complaints of rashes on the face, which had bothered since childhood. On objective examination, skin lesions were widespread. A visual examination revealed spots of hypopigmentation, angiofibromas of the face, shagreen fate of the skin, periungual fibromas. She was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis. Further examination revealed a neoplasm in the brain and right kidney, damage to the lungs, tubular bones, lymphadenopathy. The patient continues to be monitored by a neurologist and therapist. Based on the results of CT scan of the chest organs, an oncologist's consultation was scheduled to conduct an oncology search. Thus, with skin manifestations characteristic of this disease, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination to identify concomitant pathology and early diagnosis of complications.

Abstract Background Erythema marginatum is an uncommon presentation in children with acute rheumatic fever and it is one of the major criteria needed to make a diagnosis. It is seen in less than 10% of cases. It is also reported to be difficult to detect in black-skinned children. This is the first and only patient to present with the above since the inception of the unit about 14 years ago and also the first to be reported in Nigeria as far as the authors are aware, after a careful literature search; hence, we report this case based on the rarity of this symptom of acute rheumatic fever. Case presentation This is a case report of O.E, a 12-year-old Nigerian girl who presented with features of acute rheumatic fever, and these features included the rare manifestation of erythema marginatum. She presented with generalized skin eruptions on the trunk and extremities, sparing the face, migratory polyarthritis, features of congestive heart failure and high grade continuous fever. The skin lesions consisted of papules, patches, plaques and polycycles with a reticular pattern having serpiginous and raised borders. Diagnostic investigations revealed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 83mm/h, anti-streptolysin O titer of 2020IU/L and echocardiography which showed thickened mitral valves with grade II mitral regurgitation and a mild pulmonary artery hypertension. The patient was treated with anti-inflammatory and anti-failure drugs and commenced secondary prophylaxis with benzathine penicillin. Skin eruptions resolved within 3 weeks of management and are currently on follow up. Conclusions We present the above to increase awareness on the possibility of acute rheumatic fever presenting with erythema marginatum in our region, to encourage early diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever to reduce morbidity and mortality from its sequel, rheumatic heart disease.

Uncommon Case

Aim: To report an uncommon case of an extraoral sinus tract of the facial region caused by a tooth with an acute apical abscess in the mandible. Case report: Established on oral examination and radiographic examination, an Acute Apical Abscess (cellulitis/phlegmon) of tooth 47 was diagnosed, which had resulted in a cutaneous sinus tract. The continuous purulent discharge of the sinus tract in the facial right region ceased after drainage and extraction of tooth 47. Conclusion: It is challenging to diagnose and identify a cutaneous draining sinus tract of dental origin. Thus, treatment of skin lesions of the face (impetigo), and neck odontogenic infections should always be considered. Clinical and radiographic dental examinations can identify the tooth involved.

Loss Of Coherence

Cytokemia is associated with microcirculatory alterations often with persistent loss of coherence between the micro- and macrocirculation, linked to organ failure and poor outcome of septic patients. Addition of a hemoadsorbant filter to an extracorporeal circuit next to conventional treatment of septic shock results in the hematological clearance of cytokines, hypothetically leading to normalization of the microcirculation and thus organ perfusion. Bedside sublingual microcirculatory assessment using handheld vital microscopy allows real-time direct visualization of the microcirculation and its response to therapy. This is demonstrated in the present case report of an 83-year-old man admitted to our intensive care unit after surgical repair of a colonic perforation for fecal soiling after a low anterior resection for a rectum carcinoma, with leakage of bowel content at the resection site. The clinical course of this patient can be described as having undergone adequate surgical treatment taking away the source of the disease, followed by optimal support including antibiotic treatment in the ICU. However, during the course of his stay in the ICU, his condition deteriorated with symptoms consistent with septic shock. Our report shows that the addition of a hemoadsorbent (CytoSorb) to the continuous renal replacement therapy circuit was associated with an improvement in the condition of our severely ill patient with abdominal sepsis. Parallel to the clinical improvement of our patient, the functional parameters of the microcirculation also showed improvement suggesting that such a noninvasive real-time evaluation of the status of the microcirculation may be a sensitive diagnostic tool to monitor the effectiveness of hemoadsorbent therapy.

Restitutio Ad Integrum

Background and Objectives: Phenibut (4-amino-3-phenyl-butyric acid), acting as a GABA-B receptor agonist, has a beneficial effect on anxiety. Although its medical use is not approved in western countries, it can be easily obtained worldwide via the Internet, so it spread as a substance of abuse. In recent years, some case reports have, therefore, highlighted episodes of acute toxicity or withdrawal, but it is still a largely unknown phenomenon.Methods: In this case report, a 50-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency room with psychomotor agitation, psychotic symptoms, and insomnia, and was non-responsive to treatment. She was hospitalized at the psychiatry ward for 25 days and gave her consent for the publication of the present case report.Results: The suspicion of phenibut withdrawal allowed to establish the appropriate management, leading to the restitutio ad integrum of the psychopathological case.Conclusions: In the face of an incoercible psychomotor agitation case, the knowledge of the so-called novel psychoactive substances allows for more appropriate clinical management of intoxication and withdrawal syndromes. This is a scientifically significant report as it provides therapeutic and outcome data concerning a syndrome that is still quite unfamiliar.

Context: Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory myopathy, which results from loss of tolerance to a select group of autoantigens, with an incidence of approximately 0.8 to 1.2 per 100,000, of bimodal distribution, more frequent in women, with important relationship with paraneoplasia, usually responsive to treatment. Case report: female, 65 years old, black, rural worker, with history of increased skin pigmentation in early 2019. After two months, she was bedridden, with dysphagia. Physical examination revealed paresis, poikiloderma on the face, alopecia, remnants of uper back shawl sign, Heliotrope and Gotron sign. Complementary investigation showed: aldolase 20.4 / 31; CPK: 521/220/207. Anatomopathological examination of skin biopsy reveald superficial and discrete lymphocytic dermatitis with focal pigmentary incontinence; electroneuromyography presented myopathic pattern in the four limbs. Paraneoplastic investigation was negative. There was a response to corticosteroids and metotrexato. Conclusions: The case shows a rapid progression from cutaneous symptoms to chronic symptoms and highlights the importance of recognizing skin lesions in view of the possible differential diagnoses in the neurology specialty, prior to the onset of the classic clinical picture and the appearance of chronic symptoms.
