Intraperitoneal (IP) injections of IgG from patients with Endemic Pemphigus Foliaceus [Fogo Selvagem (FS)] cause acantholysis in BALB/c mice (JID. 85:538, 1985). The dynamic ultrastructural changes of FS IgG-induced acantholysis in mice are the subject of this study. FS IgG was injected IP into
Staphylococcal scaled-skin syndrome (SSSS) is a toxin-related epidermolytic disease that usually affects infants and children under 5 years. We report herein a case of a premature infant who had developed SSSS after an infection of the pharynx with staphylococci and who died of septicaemia due to
Grover disease (GD) is a rather common papular pruritic dermatosis that can be transient, persistent, or asymptomatic. The microscopic diagnosis of clinically suspected lesions can be challenging because GD can adopt different patterns, and involved areas are generally admitted to be mostly focal.
Dear Editor, This rather original investigation was performed some time ago but is still unpublished. Its aim was to estimate the effect of low or high temperature cow's milk given to breast feeding rats in order to study possible influence of this diet to rats, to their physical growth and also
BACKGROUND
Intense pulsed light (IPL) systems emit non-coherent, polychromatic light and are increasingly used for various dermatologic indications. Although generally regarded as safe therapy, IPL is not without risk.
OBJECTIVE
We report a 21-year-old woman who experienced a severe blistering
Four patients presented with asymptomatic gray-white oral mucosal tissues that sloughed and peeled away leaving a normal tissue base. This peeling phenomenon appeared unlike any known oral mucosal disease, although it somewhat resembled leukoedema and chemically irritated oral mucosa due to certain
Human skin cells (epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts) in monolayer culture and human skin in organ culture were exposed to agents that are known to produce irritation (redness, dryness, edema and scaly crusts) when applied topically to skin. Among the agents used were three well accepted
Four 1.5-year-old, male, Murrah buffalos were maintained during eight months without direct solar exposure during a study of copper toxicosis. Four days after solar exposure, all buffalos presented clinical manifestations consistent with acute photosensitization, including anorexia, apathy, loss of
Three selected cases of transient acantholytic dermatosis were studied because of their definitive correlation with sweating due to fever and/ or bed-ridden situations. Biopsy specimens were serially sectioned and acantholysis was found in the acrosyringium or traced to connect to the acrosyringium
