Demodex mite is an obligate human ecto-parasite found in or near the pilo-sebaceous units. Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are two species typically found on humans. Demodex infestation usually remains asymptomatic and may have a pathogenic role only when present in high densities and also because of immune imbalance. All cutaneous diseases caused by Demodex mites are clubbed under the ...

Bullous dermatoses are a variety of autoimmune skin diseases that are characterized by the presence of bullae or blisters. Most of these diseases are associated with substantial morbidity, and a few may result in death. Although most general approaches to the treatment and diagnosis of these entities are similar, the diagnosis of the specific disease is important, because the most appropriate d...

Objective To register the patterns of specific dermatoses of pregnancy in Bangladeshi pregnant

Pathophysiology The aetiology is unknown but important contributory factors include venous hypertension, exercise and gravitational dependency [2] . Histology shows a perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate of T cells centred on the superficial small blood vessels of the skin, suggesting that cell-mediated immunity plays a part [3] . There is swelling of endothelial cells and narrowing of the lumen...

The zosteriform distribution of cutaneous lesions is a common disease pattern in dermatology. It describes a unilateral girdle-like distribution restricted to the sensitive nerve territory of a dermatome. Three different pathogenic pathways can lead to a zosteriform pattern. The neural pathway uses the axons of a nerve ganglion for viral transport to a specific dermatome. The arche type is Herp...

BACKGROUND: Hair and scalp disorders generally are not associated with significant physical morbidity but the psychological impact of visible scalp problems may be very high. The scalp is unique among skin areas in humans, with high follicular density and a high rate of sebum production. The skin of the scalp has several unique features that aid in its critical role of protecting the head. The ...

Introduction: Les affections cutanées restent encore un problème de santé publique dans la majorité des pays en développement. Notre étude s'est fixée comme objectif de déterminer les aspects épidémiologiques et histologiques des dermatoses au Togo. Méthodes: Il s'agissait d'une étude descriptive et transversale portant sur les cas de dermatoses diagnostiquées de 2002 à 2013 (10 ans) au laborat...

BACKGROUND Sloughing esophagitis, also known as esophagitis dissecans superficialis, is a very rare and underdiagnosed entity with unknown incidence rate. It can be associated with bullous dermatoses and medications such as central nervous system depressants and those causing esophageal injury. CASE REPORT A 55-years-old woman was recovering from renal failure due to rhabdomyolysis when she d...
