ABSTRACT

Abstract Porokeratosis is a disorder of epidermal keratinization characterized by the presence of annular hyperkeratotic plaques. Its etiopathogenesis is not yet fully understood, but a relationship with immunosuppression has been reported. Dermoscopic examination revealed a classic yellowish-white ring-like structure that resembled “volcanic crater contour” – the so-called cornoid lamella. We describe a case of porokeratosis in a female patient with chronic lymphedema, which was similar to Bowen’s disease due to the many glomerular vessels seen on clinical examination and dermoscopy.

ABSTRACT

Abstract We report a case of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis of Hoffman-Zurhelle (NCLS), with multiple lesions, in a ten-year-old child. The NLCS is considered rare. The classical clinical presentation is characterized by multiple skin-colored or yellowish papules and nodules, which can have a linear distribution. Histologically, it is characterized by the presence of mature ectopic adipocytes in the dermis. The main therapeutic option is surgical excision. The classical Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is reported in this case.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: Dermatofibroma is a frequent benign tumor of easy clinical diagnosis in most cases, but that can mimic other dermatoses. Dermoscopy may help to define the diagnosis and its classical pattern is a central white area, similar to a scar, surrounded by a discrete pigment network. However, dermoscopic findings are not always typical. We describe here a case of dermatofibroma exhibiting ridges, furrows and pseudocomedos, a pattern which is typical of seborrheic keratosis, in dermoscopy.

ABSTRACT

Abstract

In Brazil, visceral Leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania chagasi. The development of cutaneous lesions in visceral leishmaniasis patients has been described in two different clinical contexts. Patients with compromised immunity can develop skin lesions as a direct consequence of a current visceral disease. Equally, patients with a history of kala-azar and progressive, immune improvement occasionally develop skin lesions as a consequence of immune reconstitution infl ammatory syndrome. These cases manifest in similar fashion to the classic form of post-kala-azar dermal Leishmaniasis. We describe different cases that exemplify these two clinical presentations.

ABSTRACT

Lichen planus is an uncommon disease in children, and only 2 to 3% of affected patients are under twenty years of age. This dermatosis may appear in several clinical forms, which vary according to the morphology and distribution of lesions. In less than 0.2% of all lichen planus cases, the lesions are distributed along the lines of Blaschko, and is a variant called linear lichen planus. This is a case report of a patient aged two years and eight months, who presented keratotic violaceous papules, affecting the abdomen, buttocks and right thigh, distributed along the lines of Blaschko. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of linear lichen planus.


O líquen plano é uma enfermidade pouco frequente na infância, apenas 2 a 3% dos pacientes acometidos se encontram abaixo dos vinte anos de idade. Essa dermatose pode se apresentar sob várias formas clínicas, as quais variam de acordo com a morfologia e distribuição das lesões. Em menos de 0,2% dos casos de líquen plano, as lesões se distribuem ao longo das linhas de Blaschko, variante denominada de líquen plano linear. Relata-se o caso de uma paciente de dois anos e oito meses de idade apresentando pápulas violáceas de superfície ceratósica acomentendo a região abdominal, região glútea e coxa direita, distribuídas ao longo das linhas de Blaschko, cujo exame histopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico de líquen plano linear.

ABSTRACT

Poromas are uncommon benign neoplasms originating from the terminal ductal portion of the sweat glands, mainly characterized by skin-colored or pink pa pules or nodules, usually on the extremities. Due to their rarity, the pigmented form clinical hypothesis is hardly ever suggested and psychopathology is fundamental. We report a case of pigmented eccrine poroma in the right palmer area, a location considered atypical. We stress the importance of dermoscopy as a method for diagnosis of poromas, especially in the differential diagnosis with other pigmented nodular-popular lesions.


Os poromas são neoplasias benignas incomuns oriundas das porções ductais terminais das glândulas sudoríparas. Caracterizam-se principalmente por pápula ou nódulo cor da pele ou róseo, em geral nas extremidades. Devido à raridade, a hipótese clínica da forma pigmentada dificilmente é aventada, sendo fundamental a histopatologia. Relata-se caso de poroma écrino pigmentado na região palmar direita, localização considerada atípica. Ressalta-se a importância da dermoscopia como método auxiliar no diagnóstico do poroma e, principalmente, no diagnóstico diferencial com outras lesões pápulo-nodulares pigmentadas.

ABSTRACT

A hipomelanose macular progressiva é uma dermatose de etiopatogenia pouco conhecida. A participação do Propionibacterium acnes e a resposta ao tratamento com medicamentos com atividade para essa bactéria têm sido sugeridas. Relata-se uma série de casos de 13 pacientes com hipomelanose macular progressiva tratados com limeciclina e peróxido de benzoíla durante três meses, que apresentaram excelente resposta ao tratamento e nele se mantêm durante o período de seguimento do estudo.


Progressive macular hypomelanosis is a dermatosis of uncertain etiology. The participation of Propionibacterium acnes has been suggested in view of the response achieved following therapy with drugs that are active against this bacterium. This report describes a series of thirteen patients with progressive macular hypomelanosis who were treated with an association of lymecycline and benzoyl peroxide over a three-month period. Response to treatment was excellent and the positive results were maintained during the entire follow up period.

ABSTRACT

Little is known about the etiology of progressive macular hypomelanosis, although it has been suggested that Propionibacterium acnes plays an important role. While microbiological culture is commonly employed to identify Propionibacterium acnes, new identification methods have been under investigation, amongst them polymerase chain reaction. To determine the cut-off point for the number of genome copies of Propionibacterium acnes in the lesional skin of patients with progressive macular hypomelanosis as a positive marker, employing quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and anaerobic culture, considered gold standard. An observational study with a comparison group, included 35 patients with dermatosis, attended at the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital, Pernambuco, Brazil, between March and May 2008. Lesional skin was compared to non-lesional skin through positive testing with real-time polymerase chain reaction and culture. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 12.0, was employed for the association analysis with the McNemar test, and the cut-off point with the ROC curve for maximum values. Propionibacterium acnes was most frequently encountered in lesional areas (p<0,025). The cut-off point of Propionibacterium acnes in lesional skin was 1,333 genome copies, with a sensitivity of 87,9 percent and a specificity of 100,0 percent. Since Propionibacterium acnes is a saprophyte, identifying the cut-off point may assist in determining its positivity in lesional skin in patients suffering with this dermatosis.

ABSTRACT

A mortalidade reflete de maneira geral, os níveis de saúde e de desenvolvimento socioeconômico de um determinado território. No Sistema Único de Saúde, a redução da mortalidade materna e infantil é reafirmada como uma das prioridades do Pacto pela Vida. Este estudo objetivou analisar o perfil da mortalidade infantil no Distrito Sanitário II, Recife, no período de 2000 a 2008. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo de corte longitudinal tendo como população todos os óbitos infantis de residentes no Distrito Sanitário II. A variável dependente foi o óbito e as variáveis independentes foram sexo, idade gestacional, peso ao nascer, tipo do parto, idade, raça/cor e escolaridade da mãe. Foi realizada análise de tendência do coeficiente de mortalidade infantil através do modelo de regressão linear simples, sendo todas as conclusões tomadas ao nível de significância de 5 por cento. Os principais resultados revelam que o Coeficiente de Mortalidade Infantil para o Distrito Sanitário II foi de 20,83 e 11,21 por mil habitantes para os anos de 2000 e 2008 ficando assim, entre a média e baixa mortalidade na classificação estabelecida pelo Ministério da Saúde em 1990. A análise de tendência do coeficiente de mortalidade infantil revelou-se significativamente decrescente (p= 0,021). O componente neonatal precoce apresenta-se elevado corroborando com o nível do Recife e do país. Analisando as causas básicas e os possíveis determinantes da mortalidade infantil no período neonatal evidenciaram-se a predominância de óbitos por afecções perinatais, seguidas das malformações congênitas. Quanto a evitabilidade de acordo com a classificação de Ortiz, a análise revelou uma alta prevalência de óbitos evitáveis e que poderiam ter sido prevenidos com a melhoria da assistência ao pré-natal, ao parto e ao recém-nascido. Recomendam-se ações que garantam credibilidade às informações contidas nos sistemas de informações.

ABSTRACT

O Staphylococcus aureus é um dos principais patógenos que coloniza indivíduos saudáveis na comunidade e responde por infecções em pacientes hospitalizados. Um estudo transversal foi realizado para determinar a prevalência de S. aureus meticilina-resistente e sensível entre 231 pacientes, internados entre janeiro e abril de 2003, nas unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs) do Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz, assim como os possíveis fatores associados à colonização. Foram coletadas secreções de narinas, axilas, região perineal e dermatoses com soluções de continuidade, de todos os pacientes, nas primeiras 48 horas de internamento nas UTIs. O material foi semeado em meios de cultura adequados. A prevalência de S. aureus igualou-se a 37,7 por cento (87/231), sendo 13 por cento (30/231) meticilina-resistente e 24,8 por cento (57/231) meticilina-sensível. Idade, sexo, uso de antibioticoterapia, corticoterapia, motivo e local do internamento não se associaram à presença do S. aureus ou do meticilina-resistente. Houve associação significante entre procedência hospitalar e colonização por S. aureus, independente da cepa, e entre internamento anterior e presença do S. aureus meticilina-resistente. As narinas foram o sítio de colonização mais significante, por S. aureus meticilina-resistente (47/57=82,4 por cento) e sensível (23/30=76,7 por cento). Foi alta a prevalência do S. aureus (meticilina resistente ou sensível), assim como do meticilina-resistente entre os pacientes das UTIs deste hospital. Estudos futuros poderão comprovar se os resultados aqui descritos e medidas de rastreamento para S. aureus poderiam ser adotadas, de forma prospectiva, para se avaliar o risco, assim como a magnitude do efeito, no controle de infecções hospitalares provocadas por estes patógenos.


Staphylococcus aureus is the most important pathogen that colonizes healthy individuals in the community and is responsible for infections in hospitalized patients. A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant and sensitive S. aureus, in 231 patients, hospitalized from January to April 2003, in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) of Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz, as well as possible factors associated with colonization. Secretions, from the anterior nostrils, armpits, perineum and dermatosis with continuity solutions, were collected from all patients, within the first 48 h of admission at the ICU. These samples were spread on appropriate media. The prevalence of S. aureus was 37.7 percent (87/231), of which 13 percent (30/231) methicillin-resistant and 24.8 percent (57/231) methicillin-sensitive. Age, gender, antibiotic therapy, corticoid therapy and cause and place of hospitalization were not associated to colonization by S. aureus or methicillin-resistance. There was a significant association between hospital of origin and S. aureus colonization, regardless of strain, as well as between previous hospitalization and the presence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Regardless of strain, nostrils were the most significant colonization site for methicillin-resistant (47/57=82.4 percent) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (23/30=76.7 percent). There was a high prevalence of S aureus, (methicillin resistant or sensitive), as well as of methicillin resistance among ICU patients in this hospital. Future studies may prove the results reported here and screening routines for S. aureus should be adopted, prospectively, to evaluate risk, as well as the magnitude of the effect, on the control of hospital infections caused by these pathogens.

ABSTRACT

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the principal human pathogens that colonize healthy individuals in the community in general, and it is responsible for severe infections in hospitalized patients. Due to an increase in the prevalence of strains of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), combating these microorganisms has become increasingly difficult. A descriptive study was carried out on 231 patients in intensive care at the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital (HUOC) in Recife, Brazil between January and April 2003 to determine the prevalence of S. aureus and MRSA and to evaluate risk factors for colonization by these bacteria when introduced into Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Body secretions were collected from the nostrils, axillary and perineal regions, and from broken skin lesions, of all patients during the first 48 hours following admission to the ICU. Samples were inoculated into blood agar and mannitol-salt-agar culture medium and identified by Gram staining, and by coagulase, DNAse and agglutination (Slidex Staph Test®) tests. Growth in Mueller-Hinton agar with 4 percent sodium chloride and 6mg/L oxacillin was used to identify MRSA. In addition, the latex agglutination test was performed to identify penicillin-binding protein, PBP 2A. The prevalence of S. aureus and MRSA was 87/231 (37.7 percent) and 30/231 (12.98 percent), respectively. There was no association between any risk factor studied (age, sex, origin of the patient - whether hospital or community, previous hospitalization, use of current or previous antibiotic therapy, corticotherapy and/or immunotherapy, reason for hospitalization and place of hospitalization) and the presence of S. aureus. However, a significant association was established between previous hospitalization and the presence of MRSA (RR:1.85; CI:1.00-3.41; p=0.041). The nostrils were the principal site of colonization by both S. aureus (80.4 percent) and MRSA (26.4 percent), followed by the perineal area, with rates of 27.6 percent and 12.6 percent, respectively. If only the nostrils had been investigated, the study would have failed to diagnose 17 patients (19.5 percent) as carriers of the pathogen into the ICU, thus contributing towards cross-dissemination.
