Q

Diagnosis & management?

A

Haemangioma
Increases in size and resolves first year of life
1. Uncomplicated/localised- active monitoring/topical therapies (BB- superficial with cosmetic concern, steroids - small/deep)

  1. High risk/complicated (large, segmental, facial risking disfigurement/scarring) = propanolol (Cx= shock, bradycardia, asthma, prem)
    - Steroids second line
    - Vincristine/IFNa (inhibits angiogenesis)

Q

Features of SJS/TENs

A

Cytotoxic T-cells (CD8+) attack epithelial cells in mucosa and epidermis, release perforin/granzymes, IFN-y/TNF-a = cell death, dehydration, infection

Exudative erosions of lips, oral mucosa, eyes, genital mucosa; targetoid papulovesicles of skin, skin sloughing, and skin pain

Histo: vacuolar interface dermatitis or epidermal necrosis

Drugs:
- Bactrim
- CBZ, phenytoin
- NSAIDS (meloxicam)
- Allopurinol

Can occur days-months after drug exposure
