A random effects model was employed in the meta-analysis. Fifteen studies met the eligibility criteria, encompassing 50 429 participants with hyperhidrosis and 182 464 control participants. Hyperhidrosis was associated with increased odds of anxiety (odds ratio 3.5, 95% confidence interval 1.0-11.8) and depression (odds ratio 2.4, 95% confidence interval 1.4-4.0). Studies using outcome definitions for anxiety and depression and not included in the meta-analysis showed similar results. Studies reporting on other morbidities (i.e. body dysmorphic disorder, social phobia and stress) found a higher occurrence of these outcomes in the individuals with hyperhidrosis than in the control participants.

Most commonly, skin cancers arise through environmental factors, particularly ultraviolet radiation; thus, age is the most predictive factor in developing cutaneous carcinomas. However, children born with certain genodermatoses are significantly more likely to develop malignancies and must be carefully monitored and treated. Most published data are based mainly on signs and symptoms present in White patients. Therefore, we aim to highlight the cutaneous presentations and relative differences of these genodermatoses among patients with skin of colour, who are underrepresented in medicine. We conducted a literature review of 504 patients presented in 236 published articles. Manuscripts with accessible case reports for children aged ≤ 17 years were included. Patients with skin of colour often present with fewer classical findings and have higher incidences of scarring and dyspigmentation. There is also a higher incidence of consanguinity in affected patients. Providers who are able to recognize nonclassical signs can provide proper management and treatment regimens, potentially bringing outcomes for patients with skin of colour more in line with those of White children.</p>","PeriodicalId":10324,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"287-298"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141888665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, it is difficult to distinguish whether CMV reactivation in DIHS/DRESS is caused by steroid-induced immunosuppression or the pathology of DIHS/DRESS. In this study, we describe the characteristic of CMV reactivation in patients with DIHS/DRESS (n = 22) by comparing the frequency of reactivation and its complications with those that occur in people with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) (n = 21) treated with high doses of corticosteroids. The frequency of CMV reactivation showed no difference between the DIHS/DRESS and PV groups. On the other hand, the frequency of CMV complications was higher in the DIHS than the PV group.
