Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare chronic dermatosis which mostly affects adult individuals. The classical skin lesions are asymptomatic, plum colored, erythematous nodules and plaques of variable sizes distributed symmetrically over extensor aspect extremities. We reported case EED in 50-year-old female presenting with involving palms owing to its presentation.

Atopic eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis) is a very common inflammatory skin condition.(Guidelines 2006) It is characterised by an itchy red rash that typically tends to involve the skin creases (e.g. behind the knees, folds of elbows, around the neck), and is usually relatively mild.(Emerson 1998) In the acute stage, eczematous lesions are poorly defined and red with oedema, vesicles, an...

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a skin disease characterized by recurrent nodules or abscesses and chronic suppurating lesions. In the absence of clear pathophysiology, HS is considered to be an inflammatory disease and has no satisfactory medical treatment. Recently, prolonged antimicrobial treatments were shown to improve or resolve HS lesions. We prospectively studied the microbiology of 10...

abstract background: atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease associated with chronic inflammation in the skin and itches and most patients have a positive family history of dermatitis. the major treatment of dermatitis, based on allopathic medicine, includes symptomatic treatment by oral antihistamines and topical or oral corticosteroids, which, in long-term, will cause various side effects....

introduction: chronic rhinosinusitis (crs) is a multifactorial disease. allergies are considered a predisposing factor to crs; however, this remains controversial. the objective of this research was to investigate the prevalence of co-morbidities and allergic reaction, and to specify the most common allergens in patients with confirmed crs.   materials and methods: one hundred patients with sig...

BACKGROUND Discovery of the significant impact of filaggrin (FLG) mutations on the genetic predisposition to atopic dermatitis (AD) focused attention on the 1q21 locus, where not only FLG but also other epidermal genes are located. In the present study, we compared 1q21 gene expression in lesional versus nonlesional AD skin. METHODS A real-time quantitative PCR analysis of 10 1q21 genes, sele...

INTRODUCTION To understand the severity of related health effects of chronic arsenic exposure in West Bengal, a detailed 3-year study was carried out in Murshidabad, one of the nine arsenic-affected districts in West Bengal.
