Livedoid vasculopathy
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Oct 15;29(5). doi: 10.5070/D329562414.ABSTRACTLivedoid vasculopathy is a painful thrombo-occlusive vascular disorder characterized by spontaneous thrombosis in medium-size arterioles, which causes localized hypoxia and skin ulceration. As livedoid vasculopathy is rare, case reports are the primary means of expanding collective knowledge about its presentation and response to various therapies.PMID:38478650 | DOI:10.5070/D329562414 (Source: Dermatol Online J)

Implementation of a dermatology skin of color educational module for medical students
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Dec 15;29(6). doi: 10.5070/D329662989.ABSTRACTResearch in dermatology education highlights the lack of skin of color (SOC) instruction for medical students, leading to concerning healthcare outcomes. Because of the already limited opportunity for students to have dedicated teaching in pathophysiology, management, and treatment of dermatologic diseases in medical school, we developed an educational module that addresses these gaps. We created a one-hour virtual lecture for medical students focused on common skin diseases tested on the United States Medical Licensing Examination with visual images acr...

ChatGPT offers an editorial on the opportunities for chatbots in dermatologic research and patient care
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Dec 15;29(6). doi: 10.5070/D329662990.ABSTRACTChatGPT is a chatbot developed by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research laboratory, that is trained on massive-scale internet text data to understand a broad range of language styles and topics. As a mature, conversational chatbot, ChatGPT can respond to follow-up questions and produce coherent primary texts based on the user's request. We explore the opportunities and risks of integrating chatbots into dermatologic patient care and research while presenting ChatGPT's response to the same question.PMID:38478661 | DOI:10.5070/D329662990 (Source: Dermatol Online J)

When a travel bug gets you down: severe, hypotensive African tick bite fever and response to therapy
We present a United States traveler with African tick bite fever 5 days after she returned from a mission trip to Zimbabwe. The patient exhibited symptomatic hypotension in addition to more typical findings, including fever, fatigue, and a necrotic eschar. The diagnosis was supported by histopathological findings and the patient's symptoms rapidly resolved with oral doxycycline therapy. We believe this case represents the first African tick bite fever diagnosis associated with symptomatic hypotension. This case additionally serves as a reminder of the importance of evaluating patient travel history.PMID:38478662 | DOI:10.5...

Disseminated blastomycosis with cutaneous involvement in a 57-year-old woman: a case report and review of management
We present a 57-year-old woman with pulmonary blastomycosis and secondary cutaneous involvement. Her diagnosis was facilitated by dermatology consultation after approximately one year of delay. In endemic areas including Canada and the USA, individuals are at risk for blastomycosis when non-motile fungal spores are inhaled, thus producing pulmonary disease. The organism may disseminate over time, affecting a variety of extrapulmonary organ systems including the skin. In endemic regions of blastomycosis, this important cutaneous manifestation of disease should be considered with a high index of suspicion as to avoid delayed...

Cutaneous type IV hypersensitivity reaction following tebentafusp treatment for uveal melanoma
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Dec 15;29(6). doi: 10.5070/D329662993.ABSTRACTTebentafusp is a bispecific protein that recently underwent FDA approval for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma that functions by redirecting cytotoxic T cells to glycoprotein-100, a protein highly expressed in melanoma. Although clinical trials have demonstrated that rashes are common in the first few days of treatment, little is known about skin reactions that develop later in the treatment course. Herein, we describe a type IV hypersensitivity reaction and vitiligo-like depigmentation that developed six weeks into treatment and discuss the pos...

During his admission, several violaceous plaques appeared on the upper extremities and anterior left hemithorax, which worsened and acquired a necrotic center. We performed a biopsy and histology showed a cutaneous infarction at the dermoepidermal and subcutaneous level. We observed abundant wide hyphae with right-angled branching and a culture isolated Rhizopus oryzae. A plastic surgery consultant performed a surgical debrideme...
