Mucocutaneous manifestations in 150 HIV-infected Indian patients and their relationship with CD4 lymphocyte countsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Mucocutaneous findings in 150 HIV+ve cases (F, 79; M, 71) were evaluated over a one-year period. Mucocutaneous manifestations were seen in 96% with 2.9 mean number of dermatoses and mean cluster of differentiation (CD4) count of 196.33 cells/mm3. The highest number of mean dermatoses, 3.29, was seen in individuals with severe immunosuppression. The most common mucocutaneous manifestation seen was candidiasis (35.33%), followed by seborrhoeic dermatitis (31.33%), oral pigmentation (29.33%), xerosis/ichthyosis (22.67%), pyodermas (22%), periodontitis (17.33%) and nail pigmentation (16.67%).

FLIP-mediated autophagy regulation in cell death controlEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Liang & Jae U. Jung Autophagy is an active homeostatic degradation process for the removal or turnover of cytoplasmic components wherein the LC3 ubiquitin-like protein undergoes an Atg7 E1-like enzyme/Atg3 E2-like enzyme-mediated conjugation process to induce autophagosome biogenesis. Besides its cytoprotecive role, autophagy acts on cell death when it is abnormally upregulated. Thus, the autophagy pathway requires tight regulation to ensure that this degradative process is well balanced. Two death effector domains (DED1/2) containing cellular FLICE-like inhibitor protein (cFLIP) and viral FLIP (vFLIP) of Kaposi's sar...

Adult self-healing papular mucinosis on genital skinEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report a unique case of papular mucinosis on genital skin. The lesion was initially misdiagnosed and mistreated as molluscum contagiosum. The histological sections showed a large amount of mucin with sparse plump fibroblasts. The papules resolved in a few weeks, indicating a very rare form of the adult variant of self-healing papular mucinosis. Genital localization of this peculiar mucinosis, which we suspect may be more common than reported, is an important clinical simulator of sexually transmitted disease, and correct diagnosis is important for appropriate treatment.

Abstract: To compare the efficacy, safety and acceptability of imiquimod (IMQ) 5% cream with cryotherapy for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum (MC) in children. Prospective, randomized, comparative, observer blinded study. A total of 74 children, with MC were divided randomly to receive treatment with either IMQ 5% cream (group A) 5 days a week or cryotherapy (group B) once a week until clinical cure or up to a maximum of 16 weeks. All the patients were followed up weekly during active treatment. The patients were followed-up for 6 months after clinical cure to look for recurrence. In the IMQ group (group A), the over...

Rashes and Fever in Children: Sorting Out the Potentially Dangerous, Part 3Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Children who present with rash and fever can be divided into 3 groups: those with features of serious illness who require immediate intervention, those with clearly recognizable viral syndromes, and those with early or undifferentiated rash. The morphology of lesions among children with symptoms of serious illness offers clues to the underlying cause. Fever accompanied by pharyngitis and a “sandpaper” rash that begins around the neck suggests scarlet fever. In most children with fever and rash who have clearly recognizable viral illnesses, such as measles or erythema infectiosum, diagnosis is clinical and therapy inclu...

Topical calcineurin inhibitors compromise stratum corneum integrity, epidermal permeability and antimicrobial barrier functionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that TCIs induce negative effects on the skin barrier including permeability and antimicrobial functions, which are mediated by decreasing epidermal lipid synthesis, lamellar body secretion and antimicrobial peptides expression through suppression of cytokine such as IL-1[alpha], therefore co-treatment with PLM would be helpful to overcome these negative effects.

She had been treated with immunosuppressants including plasmapheresis and pulse therapy with steroid and cyclophosphamide. Cryptococcal NF localized to the legs is very rare. Because diagnosis and treatment of cryptococcal infection is often delayed, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of cryptococcal infection when antibacterial therapy is not effective in an immunocompromised patient.

Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) are double-stranded DNA viruses that cause various mucocutaneous infections and are tumorigenic. Compared to MCV, complete genome expression and regulation of HPV in the stratified epithelium have been extensively studied and well characterized using in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry . The HPV genome encodes only 8–9 proteins, which are classified into two groups, the early (E) and late (L) regions. Early gene transcription initiates before the onset of vegetative DNA replication, increases with progressive keratinocyte differentiation, a...

A young, unmarried, immunocompetent female presented with complaints of fever and altered sensorium, along with lesions over the face and trunk. A provisional diagnosis of disseminated herpes simplex with giant molluscum contagiosum was made. However, cutaneous biopsy of the lesions showed numerous cryptococcal organisms which stained positive to periodic acid-Schiff. This case is reported to sensitise physicians to keep cryptococcosis as a differential diagnosis in such types of skin lesions, as the lesions resemble that of molluscum contagiosum very closely.

Abstract: Cantharidin is cited often in the dermatology and pediatric literature as a valuable treatment option for molluscum contagiosum (MC). However, there have been no prospective, randomized, vehicle-controlled trials that have been able to quantify cantharidin's efficacy in MC. The purpose of this study was to determine the breadth of usage of cantharidin, most frequently used protocols, and common side effects seen with use of cantharidin. An eighteen question survey was administered to the Society of Pediatric Dermatology. The survey sought to evaluate treatments used in MC and experiences with cantharidin includin...

Conclusion: Infection by Molluscipox virus alters keratinocyte differentiation status.
