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 is 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...

Digging into uncertainty: a case report on Spitz lesions
Acta Dermatovenerol Alp Pannonica Adriat. 2024 Jan 12;33(1):actaapa.2024.2.ABSTRACTSpitz lesions represent a spectrum of melanocytic proliferations, and they include Spitz nevi, atypical Spitz tumors, and Spitz melanomas. Atypical Spitz tumors are intermediate melanocytic lesions with features between benign Spitz nevi and malignant Spitz melanomas. They often present a diagnostic challenge to pathologists and dermatologists alike because they can mimic melanoma, especially high-grade atypical Spitz tumors. Importantly, they present a relevant clinical management challenge because definite recommendations for their managem...
