ABSTRACT

Dermatoses such as eczematous dermatitis and cutaneous infection are recognized presentations of primary immunodeficiency (PID). However, atopic dermatitis affects approximately 10% of infants, and cutaneous infections are not uncommon in children, therefore the challenge for the dermatologist is to distinguish the few patients that have PID from the many that do not. We report on a 6-year-old girl who was ultimately diagnosed with autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease (AR-CGD) after presenting to various hospitals with dermatitis, scalp plaques recalcitrant to treatment, and recurrent infections over a 3-year period, and describe some aspects of her diagnosis and management. This report highlights the importance of considering rare disorders such as AR-CGD in the differential diagnosis of recurrent or recalcitrant dermatological infections in children.

ABSTRACT

Diverse manifestations of ocular syphilis may involve any structure in the eye, at any stage of the disease. Posterior uveitis in the form of posterior placoid chorioretinitis has been described in secondary- and tertiary-acquired syphilis. In this case report, we present a 47-year-old man with late latent syphilitic infection and fundoscopic, as well as angiographic findings consistent with acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis. To our knowledge this form of patchy multifocal choroiditis has never been described in the latent stage of the disease.
