RESUMO
Abnormal vaginal discharge is common among the females of the reproductive age group. Vulvovaginitis caused by azole-resistant Candida albicans is rare. Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) causes significant patient distress and morbidity. The vaginal microflora is a complex micro-ecological environment comprising different microbiological species in variable quantities and relative proportions. Any disturbance in the aforesaid causes vaginitis, for instance, aerobic vaginitis (AV) results from the displacement of healthy vaginal Lactobacillus species with aerobic pathogens. We report AV with RVVC caused by C. albicans resistant to even second generation azoles which has not been previously reported to the best of our knowledge.
RESUMO
Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign malformation characterized by eccrine and vascular components. It usually presents at birth or during early infancy or childhood on lower extremities as a nodule or plaque. We report a case of asymptomatic tumoral swelling over the left leg in a 5-month-old Indian infant since birth. This was diagnosed as EAH on histopathology and confirmed on immunohistochemistry.

The liver is the most frequently affected visceral organ in leprosy, particularly in the multibacillary group. Administration of hepatotoxic drugs may also affect liver function. We report the case of a male patient, diagnosed as borderline lepromatous leprosy with Type 2 reaction, who was managed with multibacillary multidrug therapy and steroids, and who then developed acute hepatitis and succumbed to sudden cardiac death. Although erythema nodosum leprosum has been described as a rare cause of death in the literature, such an occurrence in the present era when leprosy has been eliminated needs a special mention.

Histoid leprosy is extremely rare in children. Molluscum contagiosum-like lesions in the setting of histoid leprosy is a highly atypical presentation and may signify the process of "transepidermal elimination" in lesions with high bacillary load. A case of histoid leprosy with umbilicated papules and nodules mimicking molluscum contagiosum is reported in a 10-year-old Indian boy.
