No, You Don’t Have To Have Celiac Disease To Have A Wheat Sensitivity
People who don’t have a diagnosis for celiac disease or a wheat allergy may face a lot of scorn and derision for claiming to be sensitive to wheat products, skipping pasta and bread.  But a new study by scientists at Columbia University may explain why certain grain products can cause intestinal discomfort in some people, even if they don’t have a widely-recognized medical condition. It may also present doctors with a new way to test for this non-celiac wheat sensitivity, which for now has no diagnostic measure and must be assessed clinically, according to a person’s symptoms. Not everyone who feels ...

Erythema multiforme in leprosy.
Abstract The clinical course of leprosy is often interrupted by reactions, which are acute inflammatory episodes that can be classified as type I or type II. Type II reactions can present as cutaneous lesions that resemble erythema multiforme (EM). EM is classically associated with drug allergies or pre-existing viral infections. However, the differential diagnostic criteria of the diverse causative agents remain controversial. The aim of this study was to determine both the clinical relevance and the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the EM-like lesions during the course of type II leprosy ...

Tranexamic acid-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis.
CONCLUSIONS: This appears to be the first report of a case of TEN that occurred in a patient being treated with oral tranexamic acid. Clinicians should be made aware of this potential severe cutaneous adverse reaction that may be caused by tranexamic acid administration. PMID: 23447480 [PubMed - in process]

High incidence of heparin-induced allergic delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions in pregnancy
Conclusions: Among patients receiving long-term heparin anticoagulation during pregnancy, heparin-induced skin lesions are frequent (incidence, 19.8%) and are all caused by allergic DTH reactions. Nadroparin has the highest frequency of skin lesions (approximately 65% at 100 days), which is significantly higher than that of dalteparin (HR, 26.7). Therefore nadroparin use should be avoided in pregnancy when possible.

CR0321 Recurring oral ulcers with acute stomatitis: a diagnostic challenge
Patients with a history of oral mucosal disease that does not coincide with common diagnostic categories may undergo multiple diagnostic tests and consultations. A 24-year-old white woman was admitted to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with acute, generalized, painful oral lesions for 3 weeks. An Oral Medicine consultation was requested. She had had a history of recurrent oral ulcers since childhood, with 5 to 6 episodes per year. There were no present skin, vaginal, or conjunctival lesions, but a recent history of a pruritic rash. Her medical history was significant for pericardial effusion, asthma, migrai...

Paroxysmal itch caused by gain-of-function Nav1.7 mutation
We describe a kindred characterized by paroxysmal itch caused by a variant in SCN9A gene encoding for the Nav1.7 sodium channel. Patients underwent clinical and somatosensory profile assessment by quantitative sensory testing, nerve conduction study, autonomic cardiovascular reflex, and sympathetic skin response examination, skin biopsy with quantification of intraepidermal nerve fiber density, and SCN9A mutational analysis. The index patient, her mother, and a sister presented with a stereotypical clinical picture characterized by paroxysmal itch attacks involving the shoulders, upper back, and upper limbs, followed by tr...

Curious crosses: injection-induced lesions
Skin biopsy provided an elusive diagnosis —and evidence that the patient had likely omitted important information during medical interviews. A 43-year-old man with a history of alcohol and opioid use was admitted to the inpatient ward from the infectious disease clinic. For 2 weeks, recurrent, painful skin nodules that expressed bloody, p urulent fluid had plagued him. These were associated with fever and chills but no joint pain. He reported no allergies, recent travel, tick bites, or new medications.

Diagnostic Tools for Doctors' Evaluation of Tattoo Complications.
Authors: Serup J Abstract Diagnosis of tattoo complications is a multi-facetted field since many clinical entities and disease mechanisms are represented. Infections, allergies, and pigment foreign body reactions with granuloma are the major groups. The clinician needs a structured approach to diagnosis and an armamentarium of standard tests. Diagnosis primarily builds on patient history, objective clinical examination, and punch biopsy, supplemented with microbiology testing, ultrasound scanning, and clinical photography. Evaluation of allergic tattoo reactions and allergy to pigments by patch testing is not appli...

A Diagnosis More than Skin Deep
​BY AARON SNYDER, MDInfectious processes, such as streptococcal infections, can partially masquerade as alternative diagnosis. Streptococcal infections are a frequent source of infection treated by emergency physicians, and it is crucial that the appropriate tests, antibiotics, and hospitalization are used to recognize rash patterns and to identify causes and the differential of causation.A 60-year-old woman presented from her primary medical doctor's office with fever, fatigue, tachycardia, and facial discomfort for two days that developed into a malar rash. The patient reported one day of fever, several days of sore th...
