Atypical presentation of Sweet syndrome with nodular erythema and oral ulcerations provoked by Ad26.COV2.S SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and review of literature.

The aim of this article is to present the case of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet syndrome-SS) after Ad26.COV2.S vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of SS provoked by this specific vaccine. What is more, the mildly symptomatic beginning of the disease, later followed by typical SS manifestation with a variety of symptoms including nodular erythema of the feet and oral ulcerations, made it very challenging to establish the diagnosis. The article focuses on the current literature on the acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, along with the coexistence with other neutrophilic dermatoses and anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations as provoking factors. It emphasizes the necessity for sharing the knowledge and experience on the subject of SS's clinical manifestations and underlying causes to facilitate prompt diagnosis and introduction of appropriate treatment.

The Correction of Facial Morphea Lesions by Hyaluronic Acid: A Case Series and Literature Review.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of hyaluronic acid (HA) administration in correction of facial morphea lesions and to review the literature on the subject. Morphea is a chronic inflammatory disease of the connective tissue which may lead to serious deformations. The lesions located on the face particularly affect patients' quality of life and self-esteem; thus, there is a demand for safe and effective methods of treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: The paper presents three female patients aged 16, 17 and 70 with facial morphea lesions who had HA preparation Juvéderm® Voluma or Volux, Vycross® technology, Allergan, injected. One of the patients had additionally fractional ablative CO2 laser (FAL) therapy. DISCUSSION: The literature provides reports on successful use of HA, polymethylmethacrylate and poly-L-lactic acid for the correction of facial defects in localized scleroderma. HA is a natural component of the extracellular matrix and it therefore minimizes the probability of immunogenicity. The application technique also plays an important role. On the other hand, FAL therapy leads to the degradation of the abnormal collagen and the induction of normal collagen synthesis. CONCLUSIONS: HA injection and combination of HA application with FAL are minimally invasive, effective and safe therapeutic options for patients suffering from morphea.
