Q

signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis

A

red to brownish-gray colored patches that look like chapping
pruritus
small, raised vesicles which may leak fluid and crust over
thickened, cracked or scaly skin

Q

pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis

A

Q

FLG variants/deficiency

A

results in permeability barrier dysfunction: penetration of high MW allergens in pollens, microbes, food, etc
have more persistent disease, higher incidence of eczema herpeticum, greater risk of multiple allergies
-not exactly a pure correlation btwn FLG deficiency and eczema

Q

psoriasis defects in epidermal cell cycle

A

normal: 13 days to divide skin cells and 26 to mature
Psoriasis: 1.5 days to divide and 4 days to mature
T cells contribute to the hyperproliferation of the epidermis
altered maturation of the epidermis occurs

Q

immunologic disorder psoriasis pathophysio

A

keratinocytes encounter an antigen or undergo trauma
inflammatory triggers results in recruitment of T cells to site
histocompatibility complex->release of T cell cytokines->vasodilation and new capillary formation
T cell cytokines also cause further inflammation
