Sensitization to propolis in 1255 children undergoing patch testing.

To investigate the frequency and the features of contact sensitization to propolis in children, we patch tested 1255 consecutive children suspected of allergic contact dermatitis with propolis 20% petrolatum over an 8-year period (1995-2002). Positive responses were observed in 5.9% of patch-tested subjects, with a significantly higher frequency in boys than in girls. The dermatitis was localized mainly on the face, hands and limbs. A significant linear increase in the annual frequency of propolis allergy was noted. Confirming literature data, a significant association with balsam of Peru sensitivity was present in children reacting to propolis, linked to the presence of common constituents in the 2 substances. In conclusion, based on our data, we suggest that propolis should not be used in topical products for children because of its high sensitization rate at the paediatric age.

Verruca vulgaris developing during cyclosporin therapy for psoriasis vulgaris.

Several kinds of side effects have recently been reported with cyclosporin (CsA) therapy. We describe two patients with psoriasis vulgaris who developed verrucae vulgaris during systemic CsA therapy. In one case, a verrucous nodule appeared on the scalp and grew rapidly in a 54-year-old male with psoriasis vulgaris 29 months after starting CsA therapy. The total dose of CsA was 87.5 g, and average dose of CsA was 2 mg/kg/day. In the other case, multiple verrucae vulgaris developed on the scalp, face, knee, and inguinal region in a 54-year-old male. He had been given CsA for 10 months, the total dose was 45.5 g, and the average dose was 3 mg/kg/day. He also had Sjögren's syndrome. Most of the verrucae vulgaris lesions spontaneously disappeared after stopping the CsA.

Caseating cutaneous granulomas in a child with common variable immunodeficiency.

Cutaneous, noninfectious, granulomatous lesions have been reported occasionally in different types of immunodeficiencies, including common variable immunodeficiency (CVD). We present a child with CVID and cutaneous granulomas with a strikingly prominent caseating necrosis. We think that such granulomatous lesions constitute a distinctive manifestation of immunodeficiency, and may reflect a altered immune response. Corticosteroids have been of benefit to our patient, as well as in similar cases.

Allergic contact dermatitis from pyoctanin.

Although pyoctanin is widely used in medicine, there are hardly any reports of contact allergy to it. Most reports of side-effects refer to irritant reactions after topical application. We describe 2 patients who developed pyoctanin contact dermatitis after long-term application on damaged skin. Positive patch test results down to concentrations of 0.0025% and 0.05% aqueous pyoctanin solution, respectively, were found.

Cutaneous and ocular reactions to practolol.

A total of 21 patients suffering from drug-induced rashes from practolol have been seen over the past two years. The clinical manifestations varied, with the morphological appearances of the rash resembling those of eczema, lupus erythematosus, lichen planus, and a highly characteristic toxic erythematous psoriasiform eruption. Persistent ocular damage was a feature in three cases.

Multiple persistent keratoacanthomas.

A unique case of multiple keratoacanthomas is described, with involvement of the face and lower extremities with persistent lesions clinically and histologically diagnostic of keratoacanthomas. The lower extremity lesions appear as giant keratoacanthomas, with evolution into a distinctive confluent plaque. This important tumor and its present classification are reviewed.

Secondary erythermalgia associated with an autoimmune disorder of undetermined significance.

A 50-year-old female patient is described with an acquired, persisting and yet incurable erythermalgia featured by symmetric burning pain and red congestion of the extremities secondary to cutaneous vasculitis. A weakly positive antinuclear antibody titer and high titers of antibodies against gastric parietal mucosa cells pointed to an underlying but unclassifiable autoimmune disorder. It is concluded that histopathology of lesional skin contributes to the differential diagnosis of primary and secondary erythermalgia.

Hazardous hedgehogs.

The African pygmy hedgehog has recently become a fashionable exotic pet in the United States, particularly in the South. As illustrated by the three cases reported, this mammalian insectivore can be a carrier of fungi that cause human dermatomycoses. The African pygmy hedgehog has also been associated with contact urticaria and human salmonellosis.
