Pellagra and pellagralike dermatoses: etiology, differential diagnosis, dermatopathology, and treatment.

Clinical pellagra is a multiple vitamin-deficiency disease. The clinical manifestations include dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia; the result is often death. Photosensitivity has also been associated with pellagra. Other clinical findings may depend on the nutritional status of the patient. Pellagrins may not have specific cutaneous pathological findings, although necrolytic migratory erythema has been reported in clinical pellagra. Most pellagrins respond to niacin combined with a high-protein diet, although other concomitant vitamin deficiencies may prevent the use of niacin. Clinical pellagra should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with chronic alcoholism, malnutrition, and amino acid imbalance.

Sudden appearance of multiple keratoacanthomas three weeks after thermal burns.

The sudden appearance of multiple keratoacanthomas in a patient who has sustained a thermal burn is extremely uncommon. This case report describes a sixty-four-year-old man who noted multiple keratoacanthomas within three weeks after being involved in a gasoline explosion. Multiple keratoacanthomas appear to be a rare complication of thermal cutaneous injury in predisposed persons.
