IMPORTANCE: Dermatologists prescribe more oral antibiotics per clinician than clinicians in any other specialty. Despite clinical guidelines that recommend limitation of long-term oral antibiotic treatments for acne to less than 3 months, there is little evidence to guide the design and implementation of an antibiotic stewardship program in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: To identify salient barriers and facilitators to long-term antibiotic prescriptions for acne treatment...

IMPORTANCE: Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and cotrimoxazole (CTX), a fixed-dose combination of SMX and trimethoprim in a 5:1 ratio, are antibacterial sulfonamides commonly used for treating various diseases. A substantial prevalence of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) following the administration of these drugs has been reported. However, the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes and SMX/CTX-induced SCARs has remained unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between HLA genotypes and SMX/CTX-induced SCARs...

IMPORTANCE: Darier disease (DD) is a rare genetic skin disorder caused by heterozygous variants in the ATP2A2 gene. Clinical manifestations include recurrent hyperkeratotic papules and plaques that occur mainly in seborrheic areas. Although some of the lesions wax and wane in response to environmental factors, others are severe and respond poorly to therapy. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the persistency of skin lesions in DD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In this case series, DNA was extracted from unaffected skin, transient and persistent lesional skin, and blood from 9 patients with DD...

IMPORTANCE: Cellulitis is misdiagnosed in up to 30% of cases due to mimic conditions termed pseudocellulitis. The resulting overuse of antibiotics is a threat to patient safety and public health. Surface thermal imaging and the ALT-70 (asymmetry, leukocytosis, tachycardia, and age ≥70 years) prediction model have been proposed as tools to help differentiate cellulitis from pseudocellulitis. OBJECTIVES: To validate differences in skin surface temperatures between patients with cellulitis and patients with pseudocellulitis, assess the optimal temperature measure and cut point for differentiating cellulitis from pseudocellulitis, and compare the performance of skin surface temperature and the ALT-70 prediction model in differentiating cellulitis from pseudocellulitis...

IMPORTANCE: Assessment of type, severity, and impact of dermatologic adverse events (DAEs) necessitates well-developed and validated clinician-reported outcome measures (ClinROMs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that evaluate concepts specific to mucocutaneous toxic effects and that allow appropriate interpretation and comparison of DAEs across trials. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate heterogeneity and quality of ClinROMs and PROMs used to assess DAEs from systemic cancer therapy...

IMPORTANCE: Kindler epidermolysis bullosa is a genetic skin-blistering disease associated with recessive inherited pathogenic variants in FERMT1, which encodes kindlin-1. Severe orofacial manifestations of Kindler epidermolysis bullosa, including early oral squamous cell carcinoma, have been reported. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether hypoplastic pitted amelogenesis imperfecta is a feature of Kindler epidermolysis bullosa. DESIGN, SETTINGS, AND PARTICIPANTS: This longitudinal, 2-center cohort study was performed from 2003 to 2023 at the Epidermolysis Bullosa Centre, University of Freiburg, Germany, and the Special Care Dentistry Clinic, University of Chile in association with DEBRA Chile...
