Until recently the specific dermatoses of pregnancy were ill-understood and characterized by numerous and rather misleading terminology. In 19831 the following simplified clinical classification of the specific dermatoses of pregnancy was proposed: 1) Pemphigoid "Herpes" Gestationis. 2) Polymorphic Eruption of Pregnancy (PUPPP). 3) Prurigo of Pregnancy (papular dermatitis). 4) Pruritic Follicul...

In a public hospital in Lima, Peru, 24 patients with 16 types of paraneoplastic dermatoses were identified by data collection. The most frequent dermatosis was dermatomyositis (four patients). The other dermatoses were malignant acanthosis nigricans, palmoplantar keratoderma, bullous dermatoses, lymphomatoid papulosis, edematous scarring vasculitic panniculitis, Norwegian scabies, primary syste...

Olympic athletes are vulnerable to traumatic, environmental and infectious skin manifestations. Although dermatological complaints are frequent among Olympians, there is a scarcity of literature that reviews sports-related dermatoses among Olympic athletes. A comprehensive review of PREMEDLINE and MEDLINE searches of all available literature through to January 2011 was conducted, focusing on sp...

Résumé Les dermatoses paranéoplasiques sont un ensemble de signes cutanés qui peuvent précéder, coïncider ou suivre le diagnostic du cancer. Notre observation rappelle que l’érythrodermie desquamative fait partie des dermatoses paranéoplasiques facultatives au cours des hémopathies, d’où l’importance de faire un bilan complet devant ce signe clinique à la recherche d’un processus néoplasique in...

Introduction Robert Sweet first described a syndrome with a painful, erythematous nodular plaques, neutrophilic dermal infiltrates, fevers and peripheral neutrophilia. This cluster of syndromes became known as Sweet’s syndrome. There have been many published cases in children of neutrophilic dermatoses and fever which are labeled as Sweet’s syndrome. Recently, however, neutrophilic dermatoses h...

This paper presents a 15-year-old boy with an acute febrile illness accompanied by purpuric and papular lesions located mostly on the dorsal areas of his hands and feet with the additional changes on his knees and elbows. Serologic studies confirmed the acute infection by parvovirus B19. Apart from mild leukocytosis there were no other abnormalities in hematologic and laboratory findings. The d...

The term "neutrophilic dermatoses" includes a rare inflammatory pattern characterized by neutrophil-rich cutaneous infiltrate. Both innate and adaptive immune pathways may be involved in neutrophil recruitment. Occasionally, neutrophilic dermatoses may occur in association with autoimmune thyroiditis. Pathogenetic aspects of this autoimmune disorder may elucidate their possible connection. Two ...
