Data on oral lesions of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are conflicting, and there are few evidence-based data on oral lesions directly caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The aim of this case series and literature review is to determine the prevalence of oral lesions associated with COVID-19 in outpatients and identify oral manifestations that are likely associated with COVID-19. We present 15 patients that came for their first specialist examination to the Oral Medicine Outpatient Clinic, Dental Clinic, Split, Croatia between November 2020 and January 2024...

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can often accompany human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemics. Development of psoriasis in HIV patients is correlated with a decrease in CD4+ count. Significant variability in the clinical presentation of psoriasis makes it a challenging disease to diagnose. Furthermore, associated immunodeficiency complicates standard treatment with immunosuppressive and biological therapy. Articles that match the terms psoriasis and HIV were searched in MEDLINE and Embase and selected based on their relevance...

INTRODUCTION: The gold standard method for diagnosing primary hyperhidrosis (PHH) is based on seven patient-reported criteria. By determining an individual criterion's diagnostic accuracy, one can identify short-version classification models. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from Danish blood donors in 2021. Cohen's kappa and diagnostic accuracy were determined by comparing each criterion with the gold standard method. RESULTS: The study included 1,039 participants...

A multidrug-resistant dermatophyte species recently arose in India, first described as terbinafine-resistant Trichophyton interdigitale and soon given a separate name: T. indotineae. Thanks to its treatment recalcitrance, person-to-person spread, and frequent travel, before long it was identified in many countries on all continents. We describe here the case of a boy with widespread, extremely pruritic, inflammatory dermatophytosis affecting his face, neck, trunk, and extremities, unsuccessfully treated for months with oral terbinafine and fluconazole and a range of topical antimycotics...

INTRODUCTION: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a potentially life-threatening genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of angioedema. From the onset of symptoms until diagnosis, patients often have several contacts with the healthcare system. It was hypothesized that a "digital fingerprint" of undiagnosed HAE patients could be identified in Danish registries. METHODS: This study compared patients with a control group of patients with a diagnosis of Quincke's edema (QE) or bee/wasp allergy because they could have phenotypic similarities...

Spitz lesions represent a spectrum of melanocytic proliferations, and they include Spitz nevi, atypical Spitz tumors, and Spitz melanomas. Atypical Spitz tumors are intermediate melanocytic lesions with features between benign Spitz nevi and malignant Spitz melanomas. They often present a diagnostic challenge to pathologists and dermatologists alike because they can mimic melanoma, especially high-grade atypical Spitz tumors. Importantly, they present a relevant clinical management challenge because definite recommendations for their management and treatment have not yet been established...

Monkeypox virus (MPXV), originally endemic in West Africa (Clade II) and Central Africa (Clade I), has recently emerged worldwide and has reinforced the need for rapid and accurate MPXV diagnostics. This review presents and critically discusses the range of virological methods for laboratory diagnosis and characterization of MPXV as well as related lessons learned and practical experience gained from the 2022 Mpox global outbreak. Real-time PCR is currently considered the diagnostic gold standard and ensures accurate and timely confirmation of suspected Mpox cases based on suspicious skin lesions, and digital PCR improves the precision of MPXV DNA quantification...

Darier disease is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis that initially first presents in adolescence with scaly reddish brown keratotic papules and plaques with a seborrheic and intertriginous distribution. The absence of specific targeted medications complicates the treatment process, and managing resistant cases can prove challenging due to recurrent exacerbations that may result in serious complications such as secondary bacterial and viral infections. Treatments of choice include antiseptics, topical corticosteroids, and systemic retinoids, mainly acitretin and isotretinoin...

We report the case of a 70-year-old man with no significant medical history that presented with a rapid onset of generalized pink to livid papules. No enlarged lymph nodes were observed, and laboratory results revealed a low platelet count. A biopsy was performed, and histopathological examination revealed a cutaneous infiltration with a highly malignant blastoid neoplasm. Further examination performed by hematologists, including cytological analysis of a bone marrow puncture, confirmed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)...

The emergence of de novo or recurrent cutaneous eruptions in individuals with hematological diseases presents a challenge when determining whether they indicate secondary dissemination or an unrelated diagnosis. Eosinophilic eruption of hematoproliferative disease is a rare nonspecific manifestation accompanying lymphoproliferative disorders, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We present the case of a 70-year-old man with CLL in remission (previously treated with two 6-month cycles of fludarabine-cyclophosphamide plus rituximab, 2 and 5 years earlier) with an acute, disseminated polymorphic skin eruption...

This review article focuses on cutaneous manifestations in schoolchildren and adolescents 6 to 18 years old connected with various aspects of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, including personal protective equipment (PPE), SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. The use of PPE has been associated with mask-related acne due to microbiome dysbiosis and disruption of skin homeostasis, leading to the emergence of new acne or exacerbation of preexisting acne. Chilblain-like lesions, erythema multiforme-like eruptions, and cutaneous manifestations of multisystem inflammatory syndrome related to SARS-CoV-2 are the most commonly described skin manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection...

Skin warts are ubiquitous, self-limiting, benign neoplasms caused by human papillomaviruses (HPV). Several studies have investigated the prevalence and diversity of HPV types in the three main types of skin warts: common, plantar, and flat warts. Using different methodological approaches and diverse populations, several HPV types were detected in skin warts, but often the etiological link remained unconfirmed. This review addresses recently improved multiple strategies for investigating the presence of HPVs in skin warts, covering proper sampling techniques for HPV testing, choice of molecular method(s) for HPV detection, and assignment of the etiological causality of the tested skin wart to a causative HPV type using cellular viral load estimation...

REVIEW
Rachel E Christensen, Isabella Tan, Mohammad Jafferany
Trichotillomania, defined as the compulsive pulling out of one's hair, is a psychocutaneous condition associated with functional impairment and decreased quality of life. The pathophysiology of trichotillomania is poorly understood and likely multifactorial, involving alterations in both neural activity and cognitive function. Behavioral treatment options for trichotillomania are limited and are often only modestly effective. Moreover, there are no medications currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its treatment...

REVIEW
Anita Gunarić, Dubravka Šimić, Branka Marinović
Autoimmune blistering skin diseases (AIBDs) encompass several heterogeneous conditions clinically characterized by blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes and are immunopathologically characterized by autoantibodies against structural proteins of the skin. Those proteins are responsible for the intercellular contact between epidermal keratinocytes and adhesion of the basal keratinocytes to the dermis. Therefore, AIBDs are divided into two main groups: intraepidermal (the pemphigus group) and subepidermal (the pemphigoid) groups...

INTRODUCTION: Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (PS) are skin diseases that have a significant impact on the quality of life. The correct application of corticosteroids in topical treatment is highly effective and safe for patients. Excessive and irrational fear of these drugs based on incorrect information is increasingly observed at dermatological clinics. METHODS: To assess the extent of corticophobia, we conducted a single-center cross-sectional survey using the TOPICOP© questionnaire...

INTRODUCTION: Psoriasis is a prevalent, complex, immune-mediated illness. There is some evidence in the literature supporting the involvement of the Wnt signaling pathway in psoriasis. No previous studies have focused on the association between the Wnt signaling pathway and vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression in psoriasis. This study investigates the expression of VDR and mediators of the canonical (β-catenin) and non-canonical (Wnt5a) Wnt signaling pathway in psoriatic lesional skin biopsy specimens compared to controls...
