Acneiform Eruption with Deucravacitinib: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Deucravacitinib, an oral selective tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor, is an effective treatment for chronic plaque psoriasis. Its use is widening to treat other autoinflammatory conditions, but acneiform eruptions have been increasingly reported. The objective was to quantify the incidence of acneiform eruptions with deucravacitinib and compare odds versus placebo, with exploratory analyses by dose and indication. A search of Medline, Embase, and CENTRAL was made for interventional and observational studies. Primary outcome was incidence of acneiform eruption (acne, folliculitis, dermatitis a…

Beyond spaghetti and meatballs: skin diseases associated with the Malassezia yeasts.

Malassezia are common lipid-dependent fungi that grow on the sebaceous areas of human skin, including the face, scalp, and upper trunk. Although Malassezia are a part of the normal human skin flora, they may also cause or exacerbate several skin diseases, including tinea versicolor, Pityrosporum folliculitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Topical antifungals are the mainstay of treating Malassezia-related diseases. Chronic prophylaxis is often required to prevent recurrences.

[Prevalence and etiology of occupational dermatoses in workers of railway transport in 1958-1992].

Dermatoses are among the most prevalent occupational diseases on the railway transport; in 1961-1975 their share in total morbidity was 40%. The structure of diseases was as follows (%): contact dermatosis 87.4, eczema 6.8, allergic drug-induced dermatitis 1.4, folliculitis, toxicoderma, chemical burns, radial dermatitis and other kinds of dermatosis 0.84. The main causes of diseases were the use of many chemicals in transport processes and of Diesel engines on trains.

Dermatoses: common in blacks.

Some skin disorders are more common in blacks than in whites or are so rare in whites as to be almost peculiar to blacks. Pigmentary abnormalities, either dark or light spots, often occur in association with inflammatory skin diseases. Curvature of the hair follicle is thought to be at the root of two other painful conditions, pseudofolliculitis of the beard and keloidal folliculitis. Certain hairstyles and treatments are damaging and can even cause alopecia if continued.

Pityrosporum ovale and skin diseases.

Pityrosporum ovale is a lipophilic yeast belonging to the normal human cutaneous flora in adults. It is not only a saprophyte but also an opportunistic pathogen associated with: Pityriasis versicolor, Pityrosporum folliculitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis and some forms of atopic dermatitis. Even systemic infections have been described. In pityriasis versicolor P. ovale change from the blastospore to the mycelial form under the influence of predisposing factors such as high temperature, high relative humidity or endogenous factors such as greasy skin, sweating, heredity, immunosuppressive treatment…

The spectrum of dermatological symptoms of pachydermoperiostosis (primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy): a genetic, cytogenetic and ultrastructural study.

Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is characterized by finger clubbing, periostosis and peculiar skin involvement (pachydermia, seborrhea and folliculitis). The aim of our work was to determine the occurrence of dermatological symptoms in patients with PDP and their relatives, and to study ultrastructural skin changes in the complete and incomplete forms of the disease. A genetic and cytogenetic study was performed in order to identify the mechanism of transmission, to discover possible links to other genetic and non-genetic diseases and to determine the chromosomal complement and eventual chromosoma…

A diagnosis not to be missed: Behcet's disease as a cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in a young Arab male patient.

We report a 33-year-old Arab male patient who was thought to have severe idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) associated with complete atrioventricular block for more than 6 years, then was found to possess features suggestive of underlying Behcet's disease in the form of recurrent oral and genital ulcers, cutaneous folliculitis, superficial thrombophlebitis, pathergism, partially thrombosed portal vein and a positive human leukocyte antigen -B51.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections of intact skin.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections of healthy skin are uncommon. We report four cases of P. aeruginosa infections of intact skin. These cases illustrate the clinical spectrum of these cutaneous infections: localized, mild epidermal infections (the green nail syndrome and webbed space infections), moderately serious infections (cutaneous folliculitis and otitis externa), and, in immunocompromised patients, extremely serious infections (malignant otitis externa, perirectal infection, and ecthyma gangrenosum).

Acquired Reactive Perforating Collagenosis: A Case Report.

Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is a rare form of dermatosis. It forms with perforating folliculitis, Kyrle's disease, and serpiginous perforating elastosis, which is a group of perforating dermatosis. RPC can be hereditary with autosomal dominant transmission or it can be acquired, which is usually observed in diabetics with chronic renal failure. Here we report a new observation in a 72-year-old woman treated by phototherapy with a favorable outcome.

[Empty follicle syndrome as cause of unsuccessful in vitro fertilization].

The authors report a case, where ultrasound guided transvaginal follicle aspiration was carried out for oocyte retrieval during the source of in vitro fertilization. Despite the favourable situation described by ultrasound and prognosed by serum hormone levels aspiration of oocytes proved unsuccessful even after lavage of follicules. The authors give an overview of the literature of "empty" follicle syndrome, its possible aetiology and methods of treatment.

Short-term treatment of dandruff with a combination of propylene glycol solution and shampoo.

Many studies now indicate an association between the lipophilic dimorphic yeast Pityrosporon ovale and dandruff. Propylene glycol has been proved effective in the treatment of pityriasis versicolor, Pityrosporon folliculitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. The patients in this study found treatment with a combination of propylene glycol, ethanol, and water, used with a shampoo, to be effective, easy to use, and cosmetically attractive. No side effects were observed by the patients.
