inflammatory dermopathies Flashcards
Be familiar with the clinical and histologic features of the acute inflammatory dermatoses:Urticaria, eczema/atopic dermatitis and erythema multiforme Be familiar with the clinical and histologic features of the acute inflammatory dermatoses:psoriasis, lichen planus and lupus erythematosus Be familiar with the clinical and histologic features of the autoimmune dermopathies: pemphigus vulgaris, bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, and epidermolysis bullosa aquisita
hereditary angioedema caused by
inherited deficency of C1 esterase inhibitor
localized mast cell degranulation leads to…
dermal microvascular hyperpermeability (urticaria)
red papules, with overlapping vesicles that ooze and become encrusted
acute excematous dermatitis (eczema)
epidermal edema also known as
spongiosis
immune presenting cells in skin
langerhans cells
condition where fluid seeps into the epidermis, splaying apaty keratinocytes
spongiotic dermatitis
hypersensitivity reaction to certain infections and drugs
erythema multiforme
infections that can cause erythema multiforme
herpes simplex, some mycoplasms and fungi
drugs that can cause erythema multiforme
sulfaonamides, penicillin, salicytes, hydantoins, antimalarials
wide diversity of lesions including macules, papules, vesicles and bullae with target lookin lesions
erythema multiforme
erythema multiforme pathenogenisis
skin-homing cytotoxic T cells attackin basal cells of the skin and mucosa
superfical perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate with epidermal edema abd degenerating keratinocytes
erythema multiforme
severe form of erythema multiforme
toxic epidermal necrolysis
complications of psorisis
heart attacks and stokes, arthritis
koebner phenomenon
psoroatic lesions brought on by trauma
cells mediating psorias reactions
T cells inducing keratinocyte hyperproliferation
well-demarcated pink to salmon colored plaque covered by looseky adherend silver-white scale
psorisis
rete ridges “test tubes in a rack”
psorisis
auspitz sign
multiple bleeding sites in psorisis
casues scaleing in psorisis
loss of stratum granulosum and extensive parakeratotic scale
treatment of psorisis
NSAIDS, cyclosporin, TNF antagonosts
puritic, ciolaceousm flat topped papules highlighted with white dots or lines
lichen planus
lesions concentrated at interface of sqaumous epithelium and papillary sermis
interface dermatitis
microscopic “sawtoothing” abd civatte bodies
lichen planus
