TO THE EDITOR Atopic dermatitis (AD, also known as atopic eczema or eczema), is characterized by skin barrier and immunologic dysfunction. Viral and bacterial superinfection of cutaneous lesions, including eczema herpeticum and Staphylococcus aureus in patients with severe disease is well documented (Ong and Leung, 2016; Weidinger and Novak, 2016). Whether the general population of patients wit...

Cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV) infection typically manifests with isolated warts. However, some patients in familial clustering develop extensive and protracted HPV infections, primarily the β-HPV types 5 8, distinct cutaneous findings. This clinical entity, epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV), autosomal recessive inheritance, is characterized by numerous flat warts childhood, which prog...

Fungal infections in humans range flom superficial and cutaneous (such as dermatophytoses) to deeply invasive and dissemi hated (such as candidiasis and cryptococcosis). Pathogenic fungi occur worldwide, although particular species may predominate in certain geographic areas. In the past 20 years, fungal infections have increased dramatically--paradoxically, as a resuh of medical advances. Fung...

Abstract Aim Cutaneous malignant melanoma is a significant public health challenge in the United Kingdom. Wide local excision with Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) current standard of treatment for most lesions. Some patients positive SLNB would routinely undergo locoregional Clearance (LNC). Results Multicenter Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial II (MSLT-II) published August 2017 challenged this...

Leclercia adecarboxylata is a rarely described motile, aerobic, gram-negative bacillus reported to cause clinically significant solitary infections in immunocompromised patients and polymicrobial wound infections in immunocompetent patients [1-5]. We present a case of a polymicrobial infection including L. adecarboxylata in a healthy female patient with a subungual splinter, to increase awarene...

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rare primary myelopoiesis disorder, characterized by persistent severe neutropenia and early-onset bacterial infections. Herein, we describe an 11-month-old male who was referred with recurrent cutaneous infections and chronic diarrhea. Serial complete blood counts indicated persistent neutropenia. Bone marrow aspiration of the patient demonstrated matur...

In patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) bacterial infections constitute a major clinical problem caused by compromised skin barrier and a progressive immunodeficiency. Indeed, the majority of patients with advanced disease die from infections with bacteria, e.g., Staphylococcus aureus. Bacterial toxins such as staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) have long been suspected to be involved in...
