Pustulosis subcórnea: a propósito de un caso / Subcorneal pustulosis: a case report

Resumen La dermatosis pustulosa subcórnea (DPS), oenfermedad de Sneddon-Wilkinson, es una dermatosis poco frecuente, benigna, de curso crónico y recidivante. En esta oportunidad presentaremos el caso de una paciente femenina de 58 años condiagnóstico de dermatosis pustulosa subcórnea, que fue tratada con dapsona 100mg por día, con resolución de lesiones. Realizamos unarevisión bibliográfica de esta patología describiendo sus características clínicas e histológicas, sus múltiples diagnósticos diferenciales y las posibles terapéuticas.

Abstract Subcorneal pustular dermatosis, or Sneddon-Wilkinson disease, is a rare, benign, chronic and recurrent dermatosis. We reportthe case of a 58-year-old female patient with subcorneal pustular dermatosis, who was treated with dapsone 100mg per day, with goodtherapeutic response. We carried out a bibliographic review of this pathology describing its clinical and histological characteristics, its multiple differential diagnoses and possible therapeutic options.

What to expect when AGEP is induced by terbinafine? Case report and critical review of the literature.

BACKGROUND: Acute Generalised Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) is a rash with multiple sterile intraepidermal or subcorneal non-follicular pustules on edematous papules, with a sudden development and rapid evolution, triggered by drugs, vaccination, insect bites, exposure to mercury, and allergens. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: We describe a female patient who developed extensive and abnormally prolonged AGEP following exposure to terbinafine and SARS-CoV vaccine. A detailed review of terbinafine-induced-AGEP cases was performed, with the aim of evaluating if the AGEP criteria would follow a different pattern when the disease is triggered by this drug. A PubMed search helped retrieve all terbinafine-induced AGEP case reports. AGEP-specific Sideroff criteria were analysed in terbinafine-induced cases and compared to other trigger causes. CONCLUSIONS: When the AGEP causative drug was terbinafine, a delay in recovery was observed, compared to the existing AGEP criteria when other causes are considered. Terbinafine frequently leads to delayed resolution AGEP probably due to the presence of the drug in the skin for several weeks after exposure, even after discontinuation, and the disease severity may be potentialised by additional factors such as concomitant viral infections or vaccination.

Síndrome de SWEET. A propósito de 1 caso / SWEET syndrome. About 1 case

El Síndrome de Sweet llamado también dermatosis neutrofílica febril aguda es una enfermedad rara, de naturaleza inflamatoria, caracterizada por fiebre de inicio agudo, neutrofilia, lesiones cutáneas eritematosas y dolorosas, infiltrado típico de neutrófilos en la dermis superior y rápida mejoría con corticoesteroides sistémicos. Presenta formas típicas y atípicas, las primeras cumplen con todos los criterios de diagnóstico y las causas pueden ser neoplásica, infecciosa, fármacos, embarazo y a veces idiopática. Se presenta un caso de Síndrome de Sweet típico en una mujer, probablemente desencadenado por un cuadro infeccioso de vías aéreas superiores con confirmación histológica y buena respuesta a la corticoterapia, con remisión total y sin recidiva a la fecha

Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare, inflammatory disease characterized by acute-onset fever, neutrophilia, erythematous and painful skin lesions, a typical neutrophil infiltrate in the upper dermis, and rapid improvement with systemic corticosteroids. It presents typical and atypical forms, the former meet all diagnostic criteria and the causes can be neoplastic, infectious, drugs, pregnancy, and sometimes idiopathic. We present a case of typical Sweet syndrome in a woman, probably triggered by an infectious picture of the upper airways with histological confirmation and good response to corticosteroid therapy, with total remission and no recurrence to date

Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands related to cocaine abuse

Abstract Neutrophilic dermatoses encompass a wide spectrum of diseases characterized by a dense infiltration mainly composed of neutrophils. Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands is currently considered a localized variant of Sweet syndrome. Cocaine abuse has been related to a wide range of mucocutaneous manifestations, including neutrophilic dermatoses such as pyoderma gangrenosum. The authors of this study present a patient with neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands, in which cocaine abuse was identified as a probable trigger.

Pioderma gangrenoso ampollar como forma de presentación de leucemia mieloide agudo: informe de un caso / Acute myeloid leukemia presented in the form of bullous pyoderma gangrenosum: a case report

El pioderma gangrenoso ampollar es una variedad infrecuente de pioderma gangrenoso, que se asocia en el 50-70% de los casos con trastornos oncohematológicos. Se comunica el caso de una paciente de 59 años, que consultó por fiebre y ampollas purpúricas de rápida progresión, con compromiso cutáneo mucoso. Con sospecha de una enfermedad neutrofílica, ampollar, o infección por gérmenes oportunistas, se realizó biopsia de piel para estudio histopatológico, inmunofluorescencia directa y cultivo. Los cultivos y la inmunofluorescencia directa fueron negativos, y la anatomía patológica reveló un denso infiltrado inflamatorio con predominio neutrofílico en dermis. Ante el diagnóstico de pioderma gangrenoso ampollar, se realizó una punción-aspiración de médula ósea cuyo resultado fue compatible con leucemia mieloide aguda. Se instauró tratamiento con corticosteroides sistémicos, a pesar de lo cual la paciente evolucionó desfavorablemente y falleció a los 15 días de su ingreso hospitalario. Este caso ilustra la asociación de esta enfermedad cutánea con trastornos oncohematológicos y el mal pronóstico que esto implica a corto plazo. (AU)

Bullous pyoderma gangrenosum is an infrequent type of pyoderma gangrenosum, associated with onco hematological diseases in 50-70% of cases. We present the case of a 59-year-old patient with fever and mucocutaneous hemorrhagic bullous of rapid progression. A biopsy for histopathology, direct immunofluorescence (DIF) and skin culture was made, considering the possibility of neutrophilic dermatoses, bullous dermatosis or an opportunistic infection. The results of both the culture and the DIF were negative. The histopathological examination of the specimen revealed a dense dermal polymorphic infiltrate composed primarily of neutrophils. Considering bullous pyoderma gangrenosum as a potential diagnosis, a bone-marrow biopsy was performed. This study revealed an acute myeloid leukemia. Although systemic corticosteroid therapy was begun, the patient presented an unfavorable evolution that led to her death 15 days after her admission at the hospital. This case shows the association between bullous pyoderma gangrenosum and onco hematological diseases. In addition, it highlights the poor prognosis related to these diseases in the short term. (AU)

Neutrophilic dermatosis: a new skin manifestation and novel pathogenic variant in a rare autoinflammatory disease.

Sideroblastic anaemia, B-cell immunodeficiency, periodic fever and developmental delay (SIFD) is caused by mutations of TRNT1, an enzyme essential for mitochondrial protein synthesis, and has been reported in 23 cases. A 6-month-old girl was evaluated with recurrent fever, failure to thrive, skin lesions and anaemia. She received blood transfusions and empirical antibiotics. Skin lesions, previously interpreted as insect bites, consisted of numerous firm asymptomatic erythematous papules and nodules, distributed over trunk and limbs. Skin histopathology revealed an intense dermal neutrophilic infiltrate extending to the subcutaneous, with numerous atypical myeloid cells, requiring the diagnosis of leukaemia cutis, to be ruled out. Over the follow-up, she developed herpetic stomatitis, tonsillitis, lobar pneumonia and Metapneumovirus tracheitis, and also deeper skin lesions, resembling panniculitis. Hypogammaglobulinaemia was diagnosed. An autoinflammatory disease was confirmed by whole exome sequencing: heterozygous mutations for TRNT1 NM_182916 c.495_498del, p.F167Tfs * 9 and TRNT1 NM_182916 c.1246A>G, p.K416E. The patient has been treated with subcutaneous immunoglobulin and etanercept. She presented with developmental delay and short stature for age. The fever, anaemia, skin neutrophilic infiltration and the inflammatory parameters improved. We describe a novel mutation in SIFD and the first to present skin manifestations, namely neutrophilic dermal and hypodermal infiltration.

Casos de pioderma gangrenoso en pacientes con quemaduras: revisión de la literatura.

OBJECTIVE: Perform a literature review of case studies on pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) associated with burns, and compare the results with a clinical case study on PG in a patient with wounds, published by the authors in this same article. METHOD: PubMed, ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey were searched for articles between June 2006 and July 2020. Of 831 articles, only 43 met the inclusion criteria. Nine articles, with 17 case studies, were included. The authors' case study was also evaluated (C18). RESULTS: Of the 18 case studies, 50% were female. In 55% cases, the most affected area was the lower limb. The most frequently applied treatment was corticoids (88.9% of cases). CONCLUSION: PG was present mostly on healthy areas, already healed. PG often develops on the lower limb, but can also be present in any anatomic area. It can emerge at any age, even in underaged patients.

OBJETIVO: Realizar una revisión de la literatura de casos de pioderma gangrenoso (PG) asociados con quemaduras, y comparar los resultados con un caso clínico de PG en un paciente con quemaduras, presentado por los autores en este mismo artículo. MÉTODO: Se revisó la literatura en las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect y ClinicalKey, entre junio de 2006 y julio de 2020. De los 831 artículos encontrados, sólo 43 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Nueve artículos, con 17 casos de estudio, fueron seleccionados. Se evaluó, además, el caso de estudio realizado por los autores (C18). RESULTADOS: De los 18 casos totales, 50% fue mujer y, el restante 50%, hombre. En el 55% de los casos, las zonas con lesiones más afectadas fueron las del miembro inferior. El tratamiento más frecuentemente empleado fue con corticoides, en 88,9% de los casos. Hubo similitudes entre los casos estudiados. CONCLUSIÓN: En lesiones traumáticas, como las quemaduras, el PG se presenta mayoritariamente en áreas sanas, ya cicatrizadas. Ocurre, con frecuencia, en los miembros inferiores, pero puede aparecer en cualquier área anatómica. Se presenta a cualquier edad, incluso en menores de edad, con mayor frecuencia en la quinta década de la vida. CONFLICTO DE INTERÉS: Ninguno.

Pioderma gangrenoso como manifestación Inicial de síndrome mielodisplásico / Pyoderma gangrenosum as initial manifestation of syndrome myelodysplastic

El pioderma gangrenoso es una dermatosis neutrofílica poco común que se presenta como un desorden inflamatorio y ulcerativo de la piel. Más de la mitad de los pacientes que desarrollan esta afección, tienen asociada una enfermedad sistémica subyacente. Caso clínico: paciente femenina de 79 años de edad, previamente sana, quien acude por presentar desde 4 días antes, flictenas violáceas, de contenido serohemático que se decapitan dejando úlcera superficial de fondo eritematoso, y luego profundizaron, no mejoraron con antibióticos por lo que se toma biopsia cutánea que reporta hallazgos compatibles con pioderma gangrenoso; se inició tratamiento con corticoides tópicos y sistémicos evidenciando mejoría de las lesiones. Durante la investigación etiológica se constató descenso de todas las líneas hematológicas y la biopsia de médula ósea mostró síndrome mielodisplásico con displasia unilínea de bajo grado. Discusión: El pioderma gangrenoso de tipo buloso, está comúnmente asociado a enfermedades hematológicas; en pacientes sin alteraciones hematológicas iniciales, debe haber un seguimiento estricto enfocado en la búsqueda de estos trastornos en un lapso de hasta 10 años. Se trata con fármacos inmunosupresores e inmunomoduladores. Conclusiones: ante la presencia de pioderma gangrenoso se debe sospechar síndrome mielodisplásico(AU)

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon neutrophilic dermatosis that presents as an inflammatory and ulcerative disorder of the skin. More than half of patients with pyoderma gangrenosum develop the disorder in association with an underlying systemic disease. Clinical case: 79-year-old female patient, previously healthy, who consulted for a period of 4 days, purplish skin lesions, which, once decapitated, showed a superficial ulcer that did not improve with broad spectrum antibiotics. The biopsy is taken, which reports findings compatible with pyoderma gangrenosum, so treatment with topical and systemic corticosteroids is started showing improvement of the lesions. During the diagnostic workup, pancytopenia was verified and, after ruling out other etiologies, bone marrow biopsy was performed, which allowed the diagnosis of lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome with single lineage dysplasia. Discussion: Bullous pyoderma gangrenosum is most commonly seen in patients with hematologic disease; due to the strong association between bullous PG and hematologic disease, patients who present without an associated hematologic disorder should be followed closely for the development of a hematologic disorder. Conclusion: Etiological search for pyoderma gangrenosum allows early diagnosis and timely treatment of the underlying disease(AU)

Dermatosis neutrofílica de las manos y rostro posterior a mordedura de perro: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura / Neutrophilic dermatosis of the hands and face after dog bite: case report and literature review

La Dermatosis neutrofílica de las manos es consi-derada una variante localizada acral del Síndrome de Sweet, más frecuente en mujeres y principal-mente asociada a enfermedades hematológicas. Las lesiones aparecen como pápulas, vesículas, nó-dulos, placas, úlceras y ampollas, principalmente en el dorso de las manos. Aproximadamente la mi-tad de los pacientes presenta fenómeno de patergia como factor desencadenante.En el presente caso clínico se describe una derma-tosis neutrofílica de las manos posterior a morde-dura de perro, asociado a mielofibrosis primaria y desarrollo de lesiones faciales.

Neutrophilic dermatosis of the hands is conside-red an acral localized variant of Sweet Syndrome, more frequent in women and mainly associated with hematological diseases. The lesions appear as papules, vesicles, nodules, plaques, ulcers, and blisters, mainly on the back of the hands. Appro-ximately half of the patients present a phenome-non of pathergy as a triggering factor. Herein we describe a case of neutrophilic dermatosis of the hands after a dog bite, associated with primary myelofibrosis and development of facial lesions.

Síndrome de Sweet en una niña preescolar / Sweet syndrome in a 5-year-old girl

El síndrome de Sweet, también conocido como dermatosis neutrofílica febril, es un trastorno dermatológico poco frecuente en pediatría. Clínicamente, se caracteriza por la aparición de lesiones papulares y/o nodulares de una coloración rojiza-violeta con hipersensibilidad local. Se reporta el caso de una paciente femenina de 5 años, quien consultó por un cuadro clínico de 10 días de evolución de aparición de lesión forunculosa en el arco nasal. Se realizó una biopsia de piel, que reportó dermatitis difusa con predominio de polimorfonucleares neutrófilos, necrosis epidérmica y ausencia de vasculitis. No se identificaron microorganismos. Se consideró el cuadro compatible con síndrome de Sweet. Es importante tener en cuenta este diagnóstico en cuadros clínicos similares y se deben descartar otros diagnósticos más frecuentes primero.

Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is an infrequent dermatological disorder in pediatrics. Clinically it is characterized by the development of papular and/or nodular lesions of a reddish-violet coloration with local hypersensitivity. We report the case of a 5-year-old female who consulted 1 month after the appearance of the lesion in the nasal arch. A skin biopsy was performed and it reported diffuse dermatitis with a predominance of neutrophil polymorphonuclear cells, epidermal necrosis and absence of vasculitis. No microorganisms were identified. It was considered compatible with Sweet syndrome. It is important to consider this diagnosis in similar clinical cases and other more frequent diagnoses must be ruled out first.

Síndrome de Sweet en pediatría: a proposito de un caso / Sweet syndrome in pediatrics: a case report

INTRODUCCIÓN: El Síndrome de Sweet es una dermatosis muy infrecuente en pediatría, de patogenia desconocida, caracterizado clínicamente por fiebre, neutrofilia, placas solevantadas y dolorosas en piel de cara, cuello y extremidades e histológicamente por infiltración dérmica de neutrófilos. OBJETIVO: Presentación de un caso clínico de Síndrome de Sweet en paciente pediátrico. CASO CLÍNICO: Prees colar femenino de 3 años, portador de cromosomopatía compleja 46XX add(8). Consultó por cuadro clínico de 7 días de evolución caracterizado por placas y ampollas localizadas en dorso y posterior mente en extremidades, asociado a fiebre alta, sin respuesta a tratamiento antibiótico indicado por sospecha de impétigo ampollar. Al examen físico presentaba múltiples placas eritemato-violáceas, con centro ampollar en dorso, extremidades superiores e inferiores, junto a placas y nódulos eritematosos en brazo y muslo izquierdo. En los exámenes de laboratorio destacó leucocitosis con neutrofilia (RAN 45954/mm3) y PCR elevada (347 mg/L). Se realizó biopsia de lesiones cutáneas con hallazgos histopatológicos compatibles con Síndrome de Sweet. Se indicó tratamiento con prednisona 1 mg/ kg/día, con buena respuesta clínica. A las 2 semanas de tratamiento presentaba placas costrosas de menor tamaño, sin lesiones ampollares. CONCLUSIONES: El síndrome de Sweet corresponde a una dermatosis infrecuente en pediatría, por lo que se debe tener un alto índice de sospecha ante la presencia de fiebre asociado a lesiones cutáneas persistentes. Si bien la mayoría de los casos son idiopáticos, se debe realizar el tamizaje de condiciones asociadas, principalmente de trastornos proliferativos, infecciones e inmunodeficiencias.

INTRODUCTION: Sweet's syndrome is a very rare dermatosis in pediatrics, of unknown pathogenesis, clinically characterized by fever, neutrophilia, raised and painful plaques on the skin of the face, neck, and limbs, and histologically by dermal infiltration of neutrophils. OBJECTIVE: To present a clinical case of Sweet Syndrome in a pediatric patient. CLINICAL CASE: 3-years-old female child, with history of complex chromosomopathy 46XX add(8), with a 7-day history of plaques and blisters on the back and later also on the limbs, associated with high fever, without response to antibiotic treatment pres cribed due to suspicion of bullous impetigo. Physical examination showed multiple erythematous- violaceous plaques, with bullous center on the back, upper and lower limbs, along with plaques and erythematous nodules on the left arm and thigh. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis with neutro philia (absolute neutrophil count 45954/mm3) and elevated CRP (347 mg/L). Biopsy of skin lesions reported histopathological findings compatible with Sweet's Syndrome. Treatment with prednisone 1 mg/kg/day was indicated with good clinical response. After two weeks of treatment, she presented crusty plaques of smaller size, without bullous lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Sweet's syndrome is an uncom mon dermatosis in pediatrics, therefore, a high index of suspicion should be held in the presence of fever associated with persistent skin lesions. While most cases are idiopathic, screening for associated conditions, mainly proliferative disorders, infections, and immunodeficiencies must be performed.

Sweet Syndrome: Clinical Features, Histopathology, and Associations of 83 Cases.

BACKGROUND: Sweet syndrome (SS) is an infrequent skin disease characterised by sudden onset of fever, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and tender erythematous plaques infiltrated by neutrophils. Multiple conditions have been associated with this syndrome. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, epidemiological, laboratory, and histopathological findings and associations of patients with SS. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of 83 patients with SS followed between January 1, 2006, and January 31, 2015. RESULTS: Of the patients, 82% were female; the mean age at onset was 48 years. Clinical presentation was mainly characterised by erythematous and edematous plaques, mostly on upper extremities and trunk. Fever was observed in 32%; 60% presented leukocytosis and 39% neutrophilia. On histopathological examination, neutrophilic and lymphohistiocytic infiltrate and edema were the most frequent findings. Fourteen percent of patients had malignancy or hematologic disorders, 26% were classified as having drug-induced SS, and 24% noted recent infection. Only 2 cases occurred during pregnancy. Systemic corticosteroid was the most common choice of treatment, with excellent response. In malignancy-associated SS, the mean hemoglobin level was lower ( P = .01) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was higher ( P = .04) in comparison to classic and drug-induced SS. Leukocytoclasia was associated with higher risk of recurrence ( P = .01). CONCLUSION: All patients with SS deserve careful investigation of possible underlying conditions. Higher ESR and lower hemoglobin levels might reinforce the need of malignancy screening. Also, leukocytoclasia appears to be a potential marker of higher recurrence rate, demanding closer and longer follow-up.
