Carbamazepine is an important drug used in the management of seizures, trigeminal neuralgia, and chronic pain syndromes. It has been associated with a variety of adverse skin reactions including urticaria, lichenoid eruptions, erythroderma, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic
Levamisole is an antihelmintic drug that stimulates antibodies formation increasing both T response, and neutrophilic response, and quimiotaxis. It is used in dermatology for the treatment of plane warts, erythema multiforme, aphtous ulcers and, with prednisone, in lichen planus. With prolonged use
Eighteen patients with oral eruptions that developed during chrysotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis were studied retrospectively. The most frequent mucosal changes were nonspecific ulcerations, lichenoid eruptions, atrophy of lingual filiform papillae, and diffuse erythema. Histologic examination
Chikungunya fever (CF) is an arboviral acute febrile illness transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. After a quiescence of more than three decades, CF has recently re-emerged as a major public health problem of global scale. CF is characterized by an acute onset of high fever
Piroxicam (Feldene) and isoxicam (Vectren) form a part of a new family of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) highly used in France: the oxicams. The cutaneous accidents of all kinds are frequent, estimated from 1 to 3 p. 100 of the patients with piroxicam (16, 20). In addition to the
BACKGROUND
Adverse cutaneous drug reactions (ACDRs) are caused by a wide variety of agents. The aim was to study the incidence and clinico-demographic profile of ACDRs to identify any potential risk factors and compare the results with other studies.
METHODS
A cross-sectional observational study was
First line Anti-TB therapy with rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol/streptomycin is very effective. However, major adverse reactions to antituberculous drugs can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Cutaneous adverse drug reaction (CADR) is one of the commonly observed major
OBJECTIVE
A mild, micropapular eruption previously coined as "solar dermatitis" on the extensor of the forearm is a common form of photodermatitis in Taiwan. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic findings of "solar dermatitis", the micropapular type of photodermatitis.
METHODS
We
BACKGROUND
Herein, we report a case of systemic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma refractory to standard therapy, the course of which resulted in haplo-identical bone marrow grafting.
METHODS
A 53-year-old woman consulted for facial erythema with infiltration, keratotic lesions on the trunk, and
Paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (PAMS), first described as paraneoplastic pemphigus in 1990, is an autoimmune blistering disease associated with neoplasia. Patients with this rare disorder have severe blistering and painful erosions of the oral cavity and various other cutaneous
Cutaneous drug reactions may be classified with respect to pathogenesis and clinical morphology. They may be mediated by immunologic and nonimmunologic mechanisms. Immunologic reactions require host immune response and may result from IgE-dependent, immune complex-initiated, cytotoxic, or cellular
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of lichen planopilaris in a patient treated with infliximab for longstanding refractory psoriasis.
METHODS
A 37-year-old man with recalcitrant plaque psoriasis was being treated with infliximab at a dosage of 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks, with good response. However, 11 months
BACKGROUND
The prototypic lichenoid eruptions, lichen planus (LP), lichenoid drug eruptions, secondary syphilis, and collagen vascular disease, are defined histologically by a band-like lymphocytic infiltrate in close apposition to the epidermis. We describe a novel form of lichenoid dermatitis with
Anti-hypertensive drugs, including diuretics and beta-blocking drugs, belong to a group of therapeutics used by about a fourth of the Danish population. As with cytostatics, antibiotics, and topical remedies, they rather frequently cause adverse drug reactions (ADR) in the skin. No exact statistical
Photosensitivity may be phototoxic or photoallergic. Phototoxicity is much more common. There are 2 types of phototoxicity: photodynamic, which requires oxygen, and nonphotodynamic, which does not. Reactions induced by porphyrin molecules, coal tar derivatives, and many drugs are photodynamic. The
