Abstract

A 54-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of erythema and pustules on the distal portion of her left index finger. Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau is a rare, chronic, sterile pustular eruption affecting the distal aspects of the digits. It is often considered to be a variant of pustular psoriasis that tends to be resistant to both topical and systemic treatments for psoriasis.

Gloves and socks syndrome caused by parvovirus B19 infection.

The papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS) is an uncommon dermatosis with a typical purpuric exanthem limited to hands and feet; it occurs mainly in young adults. We report a case of a 19-year-old man with an acute febrile illness accompanied by purpuric and papular lesions located mostly on the dorsal areas of his hands and feet. Serologic analysis for parvovirus B19 yielded positive results. The diagnosis of PPGSS was made. The eruption cleared without therapy in 12 days with plantar and palmar desquamation. Parvovirus B19 and some other viral infections have been proven to be causative agents of this syndrome.

A new mutation in exon 3 of the SCL39A4 gene in a Tunisian family with severe acrodermatitis enteropathica.

Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare autosomal recessive disease that manifests as an inability of the affected individual to absorb intestinal zinc, and therefore patients have nutritional zinc deficiency. Without zinc therapy, this condition is fatal. Mutations in the SLC39A4 gene are responsible for acrodermatitis enteropathica. This gene encodes one member of a human zinc/iron-regulated transporter-like protein, also known as ZIP4, and consists of 12 exons and spans about 4.7 kb. We describe a novel mutation in a Tunisian family in which a chain termination codon in exon 3 yielded a truncated ZIP4 zinc transporter protein.
