ABSTRACT
Over the past few years, venereal or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been on the rise worldwide requiring additional specialized monographic consultations to specifically treat STIs. Therefore, the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) Research Working Group on STIs and HIV has drafted this document with the necessary requirements in terms of infrastructure, personnel, technology, specific materials for sample collection, and needs for current therapeutic options. Strict emphasis is placed on the protection of patient privacy. A health care circuit model is outlined too. Additionally, a section has been included on contact tracking and reporting, key elements for the effective prevention and control of STIs. These clinical practice guidelines seek to establish a clinical action framework adapted to the current challenges posed by STIs and HIV in the dermatology, venereology, and multidisciplinary settings.

Describimos el caso de una paciente con vainas peripilares por utilizar peinados a tensión tipo cola de caballo. El problema se resolvió fácilmente con el uso de lociones queratolíticas. Las vainas peripilares son una modificación estructural del cabello. Son unas masas de queratina que envuelven el tallo piloso. Instrumentos sencillos, como una lupa, pueden ayudarnos a distinguirlas de su principal diagnóstico diferencial, la Pediculosis capitis(AU)
We describe the case of a female patient with hair casts due to her hairstyle (a pulled-back ponytail). The problem was solved very easily with keratolytic lotions. Hair casts are a structural variation of the hair. They are keratin accretions encircling a segment of the hair shaft. They must be differentiated from pediculosis capitis with simple tools such as a magnifying glass(AU)

El edema agudo hemorrágico de la infancia (EAHI) es una forma poco frecuente de vasculitis leucocitoclástica. Normalmente ocurre en niños menores de dos años. Se caracteriza por la aparición brusca de edema y lesiones purpúricas dianiformes, fundamentalmente en cara y extremidades. A pesar de esta presentación tan dramática, su naturaleza es benigna, con afectación sistémica excepcional y resolución completa de las lesiones de forma espontánea. El principal diagnóstico diferencial es con la púrpura de Schölein-Henoch. Describimos un caso clásico de EAHI en un niño de 10 meses después de un cuadro infeccioso de vías respiratorias altas tratado con antibióticos. Presentamos este caso para incidir en la naturaleza benigna de este proceso (AU)
Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is an unusual form of leukocytoclastic vacuities. It usually occurs in children younger than 2 years of age. It is characterized by the acute development of edema and targetoid purpuric lesions mainly on the face and extremities. Despite its dramatic onset, has benign nature with uncommon visceral involvement and spontaneous complete recovery. The main differential diagnosis in Henoch-Schölein purpura. We describe a classic case of AHEI in a ten-month old boy occurred after upper respiratory tract infection and antibiotic treatment. We report this case to emphasize the benign course of this disorder (AU)
