In the last two decades, 308-nm excimer laser has been increasingly recognized as a therapeutic alternative for several dermatological conditions, being currently FDA approved for the treatment of localized vitiligo and moderately severe localized psoriasis unresponsive to topical treatments. We describe the case of a 17-year-old with a recalcitrant form of dermatitis occupying the entire perioral region, previously unresponsive to several treatments, who was treated with 308-nm excimer laser with an excellent result. 308-nm monochromatic excimer laser has several advantages over other types of phototherapy, including lower UV dose exposure, shorter courses of therapy and a better sparing of adjacent tissue. Although infrequently used, 308-nm excimer laser certainly has a vast potential in Dermatology, particularly regarding recalcitrant and localized inflammatory conditions, such as the one we present.

CorrigendumThere is correction in the Journal of Dhaka Medical College, April 2009 issue (Vol. 18, No. 1). In the original article titled "Treatment of vitiligo with autologous epidermal transplantation using the roof of suction blisters, first in Bangladesh", the name of the first author will have to be read Khondoker MS instead of Khundkar SH, and in address of correspondence Dr. Md. Sajjad Khondoker instead of Prof. Shafquat Hussain Khundkar at page no. 58.On 15/02/2011, the first author's name was changed from SH Khundkar to MS Khondoker on the online edition of the journal on BanglaJOL.We report our experience of autologous epidermal transplantation for 30 (Thirty) patients with vitiligo. The vitiligo in 25 (Twenty five) patients was stable whereas in the rest (5) it was active. Autologous epidermal transplantation was performed using suction blister roofs from normal pigmented skin to vitiligo skin that was failed to repigment using topical steroid and/or psoralenultraviolet- A treatment. Grafts were well taken in all the patients. Only three of them are presented as case report in this article. There were no complications except mild hyper pigmentation at the donor areas. For the patient who had active vitiligo, depigmentation of the graft and concomitant Koebner‘s phenomenon at the donor site were observed 3 weeks after the procedure. We conclude that autologous epidermal transplantation using the roof of suction blisters is an excellent and safe regimenting procedure for stable, localized vitiligo and the active disease precludes transplantation. Key words: Epidermis surgery; vitiligo therapy; transplantation alutologous. DOI: 10.3329/jdmc.v18i1.6308 J Dhaka Med Coll. 2009; 18(1) : 58-63

Minocycline is a medication commonly used for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The central nervous system-induced side effects of minocycline include headaches, pseudotumor cerebri, ataxia, and vestibular dysfunction. Many minocycline-related side effects have been presented in the literature, however, reports of depersonalization symptoms induced by the medication are rare. We present the case of a 37-year-old female diagnosed with perioral dermatitis treated with minocycline, who within 1 week suffered from severe depersonalization symptoms. The pathophysiologic mechanism of depersonalization induced by minocycline is unclear but various hypotheses include hypersensitivity of the serotonin system, drug-related metabolic encephalopathy, substance-induced temporal disintegration, and panic-disorder-related etiology. Depersonalization is a potentially severe and important side effect of minocycline that should be documented, further investigated, and recognized by clinicians.

We report a case of ten year old male child of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) who presented initially with predominant hemorrhagic bullae in extremities. Initial presentation with bullae is rare in HSP. The child recovered within two weeks with a course of systemic and topical steroid without any sequel.

A 19-year-old man visited the neurology clinic for evaluation of a headache and pulsating tinnitus that he had experienced for 2 months. A neurological examination was normal, except for bilateral disc swelling. His medical history was notable for recently diagnosed psoriasis for which he had been applying topical hydrocortisone 2.5% three to four times a day. Neuro-imaging with a computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance venography of the brain was normal, except for tortuosity of the optic nerves and dilatation of the optic nerve sheaths. Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome was suspected. Unfortunately, the patient refused a spinal tap to measure the cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure. Excessive application of topical steroid was believed to be the cause of the patient’s pseudotumor cerebri syndrome. The patient’s headache and disc swelling improved after treatment with acetazolamide and cessation of topical hydrocortisone. This is the first case report of a topical steroid associated with pseudotumor cerebri syndrome.

Although penile keloid formation can be seen after major penile surgeries, it is rarely reported after circumcision and there is no standard method for the treatment of this complication. We present a patient who was admitted with a penile keloid mass that occurred after circumcision surgery and discuss the treatment we administered in light of the current literature review. A 7-year-old white boy was admitted to our clinic with a swollen stiff mass on the foreskin six months after circumcision. The parents indicated that no complication occurred in the early postoperative period. Physical examination revealed a white-colored stiff mass measuring approximately 2×1.5 cm in size along the penile ventral surface. Intralesional injection of 0.5 ml triamcinolone acetonide was administered for 12 weeks. At 9 months after circumcision, the keloid tissue was resected. Beginning from the first postoperative week, a silicone gel sheet and topical steroid application were administered for 8 weeks. At a 1-year follow-up, the penis had a satisfactory appearance.
