25
what is the characteristic lesion in Erythma multiform
target like lesions
26
febrile form of erythema multiform associated with extensive involvement of skin (<10%). -tends to involve lips, oral mucosa, conjunctiva, urethra, and genital and perianal areas
Stevens Johnson syndrome
27
This variant of Erythema multiform is characterized by diffuse necrosis and sloughing of cutaneous mucosal epithelial surfaces -Widespread epidermal damage produces clinical picture similar to that seen in pts with extensive burns
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (>30% detached epidermis)
28
what are the chronic inflammatory Deratoses?
- Psoriasis - Seborrheic Dermatitis - Lichen Planus
29
well-demarcated, pink to salmon colored plaque covered by loosely adherent silver white scale
Psoriasis
30
what is the general basis of Psoriasis
autoimmune
31
Auspitz sign: minute bleeding points when scale is lifted from plaque
Psoriasis
32
morphology for psoriasis
- Nail changes - the stratum granulosum is thinned or absent and extensive overlying parakeratotic scale is seen - Neutrophilc in spongiotic foci of superficial epidermis (spongiform pustules) - Munro microabscesses
33
where is Seborrheic dermatitis found
sebaceous glands but is still due to inflammation of epidermis - scalp - external auditory canal - retroauricular - nasolabial folds - presternal
34
what other conditions are associated with Seborrheic dermatitis?
- Parkinson Disease - Fungal species of Malassezia - HIV with low CD4 counts
35
follicular lipping
Seborrheic Dermatitis
36
6 P's for Lichen Planus
- Pruritic - purple - polygonal - planar - papules - plaques
37
Koebner phenomenon is found in what conditions

Lichen planus
41
Honey colored crust
impetigo
42
characteristic microscopic feature of impetigo
accumulation of neutrophils beneath the stratum corneum
43
a blistering disorder caused by autoantibodies that result in the dissolution of intercellular attachments within the epidermis and mucosal epithelium

44
pemphigus are what antibodies? | against what
- IgG | - Desmogleins
45
what is the characteristic finding by immunofluorescence of Pemphigus

47
what type of blister is pemphigus VULGARIS
suprabasal acontholytic
48
highlights for Bullous Pemphigoid
- elderly - inner thighs, flexor surfaces of forearms,axillae, groin, lower abdomen - autoantibodies that bind to proteins that are required for adherence of basal keratinocytes to basement membrane

highlights for Dermatitis herpetiformis
- urticarial and grouped vsicles - predominantly males - third or fourth decade - some cases associated with intestinal celiac disease and responds to gluten free diet - Granular IgA deposits at tips of dermal papillae
51
Epidermolysis Bullosa highlights
- inherited structural protein defects | - blisters at sites of pressure, rubbing, or trauma at or soon after birth

62
Darier sign: localized area of dermal edema and erythema (wheal) that occurs when lesional skin is rubbed
Mastocytosis
63
Dermatographism: area of dermal edema resembling a hive that occurs as a result of localized stroking of apparently normal skin with a pointed instrument
