ABSTRACT

The amplified Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M tuberculosis) direct test (MTD) is reported to be a highly sensitive (92.6%) and specific (100%) test for the detection of M tuberculosis. We report two cases of human leprosy in which false-positive amplified MTD testing on skin biopsies led to initial misdiagnoses of cutaneous M tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare multisystem disorder affecting cartilaginous tissues, primarily of the ears, nose, larynx, and trachea. RP shows dermatologic manifestations in 35-50% of cases, and may show skin findings as the first sign of disease in 12% of affected patients. There have been reports of urticarial-like lesions in RP, typically associated with vasculitis, as well as a few reports of erythema multiforme-like lesions. There has also been one previous report of erythema annulare centrifugum associated with RP, presenting with a histology suggestive of a drug eruption. Our patient presented with urticarial and erythema annulare centrifugum-like plaques preceding the diagnosis of RP by over 1 year, with an initial histology suggestive of a drug eruption.

ABSTRACT

Toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome are acute life-threatening dermatoses characterized by extensive sloughing and mucositis. At the University of Florida, we use practical guidelines for the management of these gravely ill patients. These can be of help to other practitioners.

ABSTRACT

Lichen planus actinicus is a photodistributed variant of lichen planus that most often occurs in individuals with dark complexions. Sunlight seems to be a triggering factor in most cases. Several clinical morphologic patterns have been described, and multiple therapies with variable results have been used. The lesions in some patients may remit spontaneously with sun avoidance.

ABSTRACT

Primary cutaneous blastomycosis and primary cutaneous sphaeropsidale infections are rare in children. We present a 6-year-old immunosuppressed girl who had a solitary ulceration on her left lower leg which showed histopathologic findings of blastomycosis. She responded readily to oral itraconazole.
