Crusted scabies are a severe variant of highly contagious scabies. Various cutaneous, neurologic and immunologic diseases have been described to predispose to crusted scabies. Case presentation: The presented case is a 7-month-old male. He was hospitalized at the Clinic of Dermatovenerology, due to hyperkeratotic changes in the palms and food, papules throughout the body, and nail changes all of these accompanied by scratching. Initially, it was diagnosed as atopic dermatitis, hyperkeratosis palmoplantaris, and onychomycosis mani. The changes had started to appear five months ago. Also, the mother of the child presents the papules throughout the body, also associated with itching as classical scabies. Conclusion: Crusted scabies are a severe variant of highly contagious scabies. Is known the failure of the immune system to suppress the proliferation of the mite is an important cause of crusted scabies development. Crusted scabies usually do not present as an acute eruption as in classical scabies. The eruption is slow in onset and insidious in progression. In the present case, we learned that in the stimulation of the condition, there was a major role in the application of topically fluoride steroids.","PeriodicalId":153509,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dermatology and Clinical Research","volume":"570 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139240594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is caused by a mutation in the STS gene ensuing lower production of Steroid sulfatase. A current study was performed to characterize XLI and its complications in patients of Bajaur Agency, Pakistan. We also wanted to record critical factors affecting the progression of XLI. Methods: An Ichthyosis examination questionnaire was prepared and detailed information about the symptoms and management was recorded from 51 affected male patients of 17 families. Personal data such as age and gender were also recorded. Results: Our results indicate that 53% of the patients were collodion while other symptoms appeared in the first month after birth. Almost every part of the patient has symptoms of the disease; scales were found on the extensor and flexor muscles (98%) of limbs followed by the ears (82.53%). All the patients had normal nails, palms and soles. Conclusion: The age of the patients seems to have a significant effect on the color of the scales changing from white to brown to blackish. The disease progresses with the age and worsens in cold, dry seasons. The pedigrees of all families show that disease passes from generation to generation according to the classical X-linked recessive inheritance. We recommend early diagnosis and treatment for effective management of the condition. Further work is required to elucidate the genetic, biochemical, and environmental factors involved in the disease.","PeriodicalId":153509,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dermatology and Clinical Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129305374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of our study was to revise the characteristics of rheumatoid purpura in adults. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive and analytical study [June 2016 - June 2021], including all the patients hospitalized in the dermatology department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital for rheumatoid purpura. We first described the characteristics of adult patients aged over 18 years old, and then we compared them to those of the children (<18 years old) to determine the clinical features in adults. Results: A total of 18 adults (15 women/3 Men) and 9 children were collected. Adults had a mean age of 48 years [27-66 years]. Vascular purpura was constant, complicated by necrosis in 12 patients, bullae in 6 patients, and ulceration in 2 patients. Joint involvement was present in 16 patients. Ten patients presented digestive signs: epigastralgia (n= 4), abdominal pain (n= 8), and rectal bleeding (n= 2). Cutaneous biopsy showed leukocytoclastic vasculitis in all patients with IgA and C3 deposition in 13 patients. Renal involvement was present in 6 patients. After comparison with the children group, the particularities in adults were the absence of previous drug intake (p= 0.009), absence of pruritus (p= 0.009), presence of bullae (p= 0.05), presence of severe digestive involvement (p= 0.033), joint involvement (p= 0.003), and presence of anemia (p= 0.017).
