A

Roseola infantum / Exantum subitum

common cause of sudden, unexplained high fever in young children between 6 and 36 months of age. Prodromal fever is usually high and may be accompanied by convulsions and lymphadenopathy. Suddenly, on about the fourth day, the fever drops. Coincident with the decrease in temperature, a morbilliform erythema of discrete, rose-colored macules appears on the neck, trunk, and buttocks and sometimes on the face and extremities. Often, there is a blanched halo around the lesions. The eruption may also be papular or rarely even vesicular. The mucous membranes are spared. Complete resolution of the eruption occurs in 1–2 days

Q

The underlying cause of TTP is a congenital or acquired deficiency of the vWF-cleaving protease, _________

A

ADAMTS13

vWF is secreted by the endothelial cell in long multimers, which should be cleaved into monomers by ADAMTS13 and released into the circulation. Instead, multimers circulate and extend from the surface of the endothelial cells in the microvasculature. Platelets adhere to these multimers and the surface of the endothelial cell, leading to microvascular thrombosis.

Wickham striae

A

Lichen Planus

The usual presentation of the disease is classical lichen planus. Symptoms can range from none (uncommon) to intense itch.

Papules and polygonal plaques are shiny, flat-topped and firm on palpation.

The plaques are crossed by fine white lines called Wickham striae.

Hypertrophic lichen planus can be scaly.

Atrophic lichen planus is a rare annular variant with an atrophic centre.

Bullous lichen planus is rare.

Size ranges from pinpoint to larger than a centimetre.

Distribution may be scattered, clustered, linear, annular or actinic (sun-exposed sites such as face, neck and backs of the hands).

Location can be anywhere, but most often front of the wrists, lower back, and ankles.

Colour depends on the patient’s skin type. New papules and plaques often have a purple or violet hue, except on palms and soles where they are yellowish-brown.

Plaques resolve after some months to leave greyish-brown post-inflammatory macules that can take a year or longer to fade.

Q

common disorder of the hair follicles that clinically gives the impression of blackheads (Fig. 33.30), but the follicles are filled with funnel-shaped, horny plugs within which are bundles of vellus hairs. The hairs are round at their proximal ends and shredded distally.

A

Trichostasis spinulosa results from retention of telogen hairs, which are derived from a single hair matrix. It is primarily caused by a hyperkeratosis of the follicular infundibulum, which leads to a partial obstruction of the follicular orifice and thus does not permit shedding of small telogen hairs.

Nodular BCC is composed of one or a few small, waxy, semitranslucent nodules forming around a central depression that may or may not be ulcerated, crusted, and bleeding. The edge of larger lesions has a characteristic rolled border. Telangiectases course through the lesion. Bleeding on slight injury is a common sign. As growth progresses, crusting appears over a central erosion or ulcer, and when the crust is knocked or picked off, bleeding occurs, and the ulcer becomes apparent. This ulcer is characterized by chronicity and gradual enlargement over time The lesions are asymptomatic, and bleeding is the only difficulty encountered. The lesions are most frequently found on the face

Q

lesions of bullous pemphigoid appear as tense bullae, filled with clear fluid, on normal or erythematous skin (Fig. 23–12, B). Bullous pemphigoid is characterized by _____________. Early lesions show a perivascular infiltrate of lymphocytes and variable numbers of eosinophils, occasional neutrophils, superficial dermal edema, and associated basal cell layer vacuolization. The vacuolated basal cell layer eventually gives rise to a fluid-filled blister (Fig. 23–12, C). The blister roof consists of fullthickness epidermis with intact intercellular junctions, a key distinction from the blisters seen in pemphigus.

Q

differentiate purpura vs petechiae vs ecchymosis

A

Purpura is the term used to describe extravasation of blood into the skin or mucous membranes. It presents as distinctive, brownish red or purplish macules a few millimeters to many centimeters in diameter.

Petechiae are superficial, pinhead-sized (<3 mm), round, hemorrhagic macules, bright red at first, then brownish or rust colored. They are most often seen in dependent areas, occur in crops, regress over days, and usually imply a disorder of platelets rather than of coagulation factors, which typically give rise to ecchymoses or hematomas rather than petechiae.

Ecchymoses are commonly known as bruises. These extravasations signify a deeper, more extensive interstitial hemorrhage that forms a flat, irregularly shaped, blue-purple patch. Such patches gradually turn yellow and finally fade away.

Mycetoma/ Madura foot/ Maduromycosis etiology

A

Mycetoma, also known as Madura foot and maduromycosis, is a chronic, granulomatous, subcutaneous, inflammatory disease caused by filamentous bacteria (actinomycetoma) or true fungi (eumycetoma). The organisms enter the skin by traumatic inoculation. Both forms of mycetoma present as a triad of progressive subcutaneous swelling with sinus tracts that discharge grains (Fig. 15.29).

Mycetoma is divided into actinomycetoma, produced by bacteria, and eumycetoma, produced by fungi Actinomycetomas are caused by Nocardia asteroides, N. brasiliensis, N. caviae, N. otitidiscaviarum, Actinomadura madurae, Actinomadura pelletieri, Actinomyces israelii (the major cause of lumpy jaw), and Streptomyces somaliensis. Eumycetomas are caused by fungi, including pigmented fungi such as Madurella spp., and hyaline fungi such as Pseudallescheria.

  • By the fourth or fifth day the coating disappears, the tongue is bright red, and the red strawberry tongue remains.
  • The cutaneous eruption begins on the neck then spreads to the trunk and finally the extremities (Fig. 14.15).
  • Within the widespread erythema are 1–2 mm papules, which give the skin a rough, sandpaper quality.
  • There is accentuation over the skinfolds, and a linear petechial eruption, called Pastia lines, is often present in the antecubital and axillary folds.
  • There is facial flushing and circumoral pallor.
  • A branny desquamation occurs as the eruption fades, with peeling of the palms and soles taking place about 2 weeks after the acute illness.

452
Q

what type of hypersensitivity reaction are Pemphigus vulgaris and foliaceus?

A

antibody-mediated (type II) hypersensitivity reactions

*pathogenic antibodies are IgG autoantibodies that bind to intercellular desmosomal proteins (desmoglein types 1 and 3) of skin and mucous membranes. The antibodies disrupt the intercellular adhesive function of the desmosomes and may activate intercellular proteases as well. The distribution of these proteins within the epidermis determines the location of the lesions. By direct immunofluorescence study, lesional sites show a characteristic fishnet-like pattern of intercellular IgG deposits (Fig. 23–9). As in other autoimmune diseases, pemphigus shows linkage with particular HLA alleles.

453
Q

A technique used to differentiate pemphigoid group from other Subepidermal immunobullous disease

A

Salt Split technique

Useful in determining the site of deposition of autoantibodies

Punch biopsy samples were incubated in 5 mL of NaCl (1 mol/L) at 4ΒΊC for 24 h. The epidermis was then teased from the dermis with the use of a fine forceps. The specimens were then processed in the same manner and treated with IgG and C3 conjugates as in DIF.

This technique involves artificially splitting the skin at the level of lamina lucida by incubating it in 1 M solution of sodium chloride for 24 h.

By DIF testing of the patient’s salt-split-skin biopsy, EBA will manifest IgG deposition only on the dermal side of the split, whereas the majority of BP patients will have IgG bound only to the epidermal side or to both sides.

β€œBOTE” (Beginning of the end) Sign

A

Molluscum contagiosum

It has described a phenomenon called β€œbeginning of the end” (BOTE) sign which refers to clinical erythema and swelling of an MC skin lesion when the regression phase begins (Figure 2). This phenomenon is likely due to an immune response towards the MC infection rather than a bacterial superinfection.

Inflamed MC is characterized by erythema and swelling of the individual lesions, sometimes with pustulation or fluctuance. It occurs in 20% of children with MC and usually heralds the resolution of disease. This has been named the β€œBOTE” sign (beginning of the end) and can be helpful for parents who are concerned about the redness and pain to understand that the infection may be close to resolution.
