ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption. Methods Clinical data on 24 cases of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption were retrospectively analyzed.Results All the 24 patients were accompanied by different underlying skin diseases, including eczema in 17 cases and atopic dermatitis in 7 cases. PCR of vesicle fluid was positive for herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV 1 ) in 16 (66.67%) patients, and culture of vesicle fluid or lesional exudates grew Staphylococcus aureus in 12 (50%) patients. Conclusion Infants with atopic dermatitis or eczema are rather susceptible to Kaposi's varicelliform eruption, which may be partly caused by herpes simplex virus infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of activated ERK (p-ERK) and activated p38 (p-p38) in the keratinocytes of condyloma acuminata (CA) lesions. Methods Fifty cases of HPV 6/11 CA were diagnosed by in situ hybridization. The expression and distribution of p-ERK and p-p38 in CA lesions and 25 normal human skins (foreskins) were detected by immunohistochemistry technique (En Vision). Results ①The results showed that the expression of p-ERK and p-p38 in keratinocytes of CA lesions were significantly higher than those in normal epidermis (P
