Treatment of plaque-psoriasis in HIV-positive patients
Acta Dermatovenerol Alp Pannonica Adriat. 2024 Mar;33(1):37-40.ABSTRACTPsoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can often accompany human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemics. Development of psoriasis in HIV patients is correlated with a decrease in CD4+ count. Significant variability in the clinical presentation of psoriasis makes it a challenging disease to diagnose. Furthermore, associated immunodeficiency complicates standard treatment with immunosuppressive and biological therapy. Articles that match the terms psoriasis and HIV were searched in MEDLINE and Embase and selected based on their relevance. Highly...

COVID-19 and oral lesions: 2020-2024 outpatient case series and literature review
We present 15 patients that came for their first specialist examination to the Oral Medicine Outpatient Clinic, Dental Clinic, Split, Croatia between November 2020 and January 2024. Their medical and dental history was taken following CARE guidelines. The prevalence of oral lesions associated with SARS-CoV-2 was 1.42% during the 4-year follow-up period. The most common oral lesions were nonspecific erosions, stomatitis, salivary flow disorders (xerostomia, oligosialia), salivary gland diseases (sialadenitis, chronic sialadenitis), candidiasis, pigmentation, aphthae, burning mouth syndrome, and geographic and fissured tongu...

Diagnostic accuracy of a short-form version of the diagnostic criteria for primary hyperhidrosis
CONCLUSIONS: The PHH major criterion showed near-perfect agreement and near-equal diagnostic accuracy compared with the gold standard method. This single criterion can be used as a short-form version to screen for PHH. Determination of reproducibility in independent populations is warranted.PMID:38532656 (Source: Acta Dermatovenerologica Alpina, Panonica, et Adriatica)

Hereditary angioedema: do patients have a specific "digital fingerprint" in Danish registries?
CONCLUSIONS: HAE patients had several hospital contacts due to swelling attacks during the years before their diagnosis was established, and half of them consulted a dermatologist. It was not possible to identify a specific "digital fingerprint" in Danish registries regarding specific procedures or diagnoses distinguishing them from the control group. It is therefore recommended that hospitalized patients with angioedema of unknown cause be screened for HAE.PMID:38347716 (Source: Acta Dermatovenerologica Alpina, Panonica, et Adriatica)

Widespread dermatophytosis in a healthy adolescent: the first report of multidrug-resistant Trichophyton indotineae infection in the UAE
We describe here the case of a boy with widespread, extremely pruritic, inflammatory dermatophytosis affecting his face, neck, trunk, and extremities, unsuccessfully treated for months with oral terbinafine and fluconazole and a range of topical antimycotics. Qualitative polymerase chain reaction of skin scrapings from his lesions identified a T. interdigitale complex fungus, highly probably T. indotineae due to conspecificity and antifungal resistance. Oral itraconazole, administered over 8 weeks, cleared the infection. Because the patient had not traveled outside the United Arab Emirates for months before the infection b...
