RESUMEN

Erythema nodosum leprosum is a type 3 hypersensitivity reaction that often presents with transient eruptions of red papules, plaques, and nodules. A 52-year-old female presented with multiple joint pain that was being treated as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but through clinical examination, she was found to have Hansen's disease with a type 2 reaction. Hence, the importance of a thorough clinical examination is a must for the timely and correct diagnosis of patients suffering from Hansen's disease.

RESUMEN

An asymptomatic male in his mid-30s presented with a positive Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test report. He was investigated and detected to be reactive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 antibodies. A lumbar puncture revealed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) VDRL to be reactive at a titer of 1:160 which led to a diagnosis of asymptomatic neurosyphilis. The unavailability of first-line antibiotics necessitated the search for alternative regimens. The patient was administered oral doxycycline 200 mg twice daily for 28 days along with intramuscular benzathine penicillin 2.4 million units once weekly for three weeks. A repeat CSF-VDRL performed six months later with raised titers of 1:320 indicated treatment failure. The patient was then administered ceftriaxone 1 g intramuscularly for 14 consecutive days. A final CSF-VDRL examination performed six months later showed non-reactive titers.

RESUMEN

A male patient in his early 20s presented to our outpatient clinic, having previously been misdiagnosed and unsuccessfully treated as a case of viral warts. Dermoscopic and histopathological evaluations revealed characteristic features of the nevus sebaceous. The lesion was eventually treated with an erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser after the patient declined surgical excision. Nevus sebaceous often presents with verrucous surfaces that make misdiagnosis common. A correct diagnosis is crucial due to potential neoplastic transformations. Histopathological analysis is essential for both the confirmation of disease and the exclusion of malignancy. Full-thickness surgical excision remains the preferred treatment.
