Idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) and orbital cellulitis can present similar clinical features, and the diagnoses of these two disorders are sometimes confused. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether or not inflammatory markers in the blood can be useful to
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), used to detect IgG and IgM antibody specific for human parvovirus B19, was established by use of human parvovirus B19 capsid protein VP-1 expressed in Escherichia coli. Paired samples of serum derived from 44 mothers and single samples derived from 24
Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) is an autoimmune disorder that usually occurs on sun exposed areas of head and neck. Infrequently it could be presented by palpebral involvement and rarely unilateral upper eye lid edema and erythema have been reported as the sole manifestation of DLE. We describe a
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is characterized by erythematous, raised, indurated papules or plaques. DLE may rarely present as periorbital erythema and edema. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman with psoriasis localized on the trunk and extremities who developed prominent periorbital
The cause of angioedema with eosinophilia (AE) is unknown. Patients with AE sometimes develop pruritic eruptions or urticaria before the onset of edema. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman with nonepisodic AE who presented with erythema and livedo reticularis before the onset of edema. The
Our patient and those of Agnello et al. had identical clinical symptoms such as erythema multiforme, arthralgias and angioneurotic edema and both differed from systemic lupus erthematosus in several important points, i.e., in spite of marked hypocomplementemia the nephropathy is not prominent and it
FS ultraviolet (UV) lamps are used extensively to study the biological effects of ultraviolet radiation. Using published data, we investigated the relative contributions of the UVC (250-289 nm), UVB (290-319 nm), and UVA (320-400 nm) portions of the FS lamp emission spectrum to the induction of
Substance P is a neuropeptide (contained in/and released from the A delta and C nerve fibers of the skin), which provokes erythema, edema, and pruritus after intradermal injection. Local pretreatment with capsaicin produces decreased substance P-dependent erythema, with edema similar to that
A 24-year-old woman with lymph vessel dysplasia had experienced a progressive edema of her legs since her second year of life and progressive facial edema for the past year. She also had telangiectasias and papules on the background of a diffuse erythema as well as marked seborrhea on her face.
We report two unusual cases of cutaneous lupus erythematosus presenting as dramatic eyelid edema and erythema. Neither patient had evidence of systemic or other significant cutaneous involvement. The eyelid edema and erythema were unilateral in one case and bilateral in the other. Both cases
Cyclooxygenase inhibitors were developed in the quest of enhanced analgesic efficacy devoid of gastric side effects. Etoricoxib is a second-generation cox-2 inhibitor and as its use increases so do the reports of side effects. We report a case of extoricoxib-induced pretibial erythema and edema; and
OBJECTIVE To characterize platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced edema and erythema in the skin of dogs and compare those reactions with histamine-induced cutaneous reactions. ANIMALS 6 healthy Beagles. PROCEDURES Experiments were performed at ≥ 2-week intervals. Each dog received ID injections (5
It is generally presumed that xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients are extremely sensitive to developing UV erythema, and that they have a more than 1000-fold increased skin cancer risk. Recently established mouse models for XP can be employed to investigate the mechanism of these increased
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of eyelid cooling to reduce postoperative pain, edema, erythema, and hematoma after upper blepharoplasty.
METHODS
After bilateral upper blepharoplasty in 38 consecutive patients, one eyelid per patient was randomized for cooling
The appearance of breast edema in the conservative approach of breast cancer is correlated with axillary dissection, and it is worsened by radiotherapy. In rare cases there are serious edema and erythema of the breast at the beginning of radiotherapy. We present a patient with edema and erythema of
