Abstract:Acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood is an unusual form of leukocytoclastic vasculitis previously reported in children age 4 months to 3 years. The etiology remains unknown, however, many authors describe the process as an immune‐mediated vasculitis in response to a variety of antigenic stimuli. We report a case of congenital acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood associated with maternal gastroenteritis six weeks before deliver

摘要:

Abstract:A 4‐year‐old boy had a generalized, confluent, pustular eruption on an erythematous base of three weeks’ duration. He was febrile and toxic. He had had a similar problem at age 5 months that lasted for about four weeks. The child was initially treated conservatively, but later developed erythroderma and became increasingly toxic. This necessitated administration of oral methotrexate 2.5 mg/day at weekly intervals. After two pulses there was marked improvement in his psor

摘要:

Abstract:A four month old girl initially presented with a crusted nodule on her right index finger. Evaluation was unremarkable for infectious causes or malignancy. She ultimately developed similar hyperkeratotic plaques and papules of the right hand and ultimately linear hyperpig‐mented patches of her arms and legs. The diagnosis of Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) was then made. The diagnosis of IP and the differential diagnosis of IP‐like lesions is presen

摘要:

Abstract:A 13‐month‐old girl developed multiple pruritic, 1‐ to 7‐cm, vegetating and ulcerative masses on the neck, extremities, and trunk after a one‐week course of an antibiotic and an expectorant that contained potassium iodide, prescribed for treatment of a respiratory tract infection. Clinical and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of iododerma. A thorough search for an underlying disease was negative. On cessation of potassium iodide and administration of oral prednisolone 1 mg/kg/day, a dramatic response was

摘要:

Abstract:A 12‐year‐old girl had a lesion located on the upper part of the scalp that was clinically interpreted as a melanocytic nevus and corresponded histologically to a basal cell carcinoma. At age 2 years she had been diagnosed as having acute lymphoblastic leukemia L1, for which she was treated with systemic chemotherapy. She also received telecobalt therapy to the whole cranium for prophylaxis of meningeal leukosis. Having rejected other possible causes that can favor the appearance of basal cell carcinoma during childhood (basal cell nevus syndrome, nevus sebaceus, albinism, etc.), we believe that this case should be added to the five previously reported in the literature as basal cell carcinoma developing at an early age in cranial radiation portals with megavoltage radiotherapy. We draw attention to the need to explore radiated areas of skin as part of the long‐term follow‐up of these patients, and to the advisability of obtaining a biopsy from any persistent lesion in thes

摘要:

Abstract:Prolidase deficiency is a hereditary enzyme deficiency characterized dermatologically by chronic recurrent ulcers and scarring due to increased skin fragility. It has been speculated that the enzyme deficiency causes a relative deficiency of proline in the wounds of these patients and negatively affects clinical healing. Two ulcers in a 17‐year‐old girl with established prolidase deficiency were treated for 12 weeks with ointments containing amino acids in an open study comparing the effects of 5% proline and a combination of 5% proline plus 5% glycine. Both ointments caused significant reduction of the ulcer size (p<0.02), but the 5% proline‐5% glycine mixture caused a more rapid reduction (0.01
