Article Synopsis
- * Out of 320 sepsis episodes studied, 57 episodes (17.8%) showed secondary skin lesions, with purpura (including petechiae/ecchymosis) being the most common finding, particularly in cases of respiratory or skin-related sepsis.
- * The study indicates that skin involvement in sepsis is common, with a notable impact on hospital stay duration (averaging 38.58 days) and a mortality rate of 21.1%, highlighting the need for non-specialist clinicians to recognize these signs.
Atopic dermatitis predisposes to skin infections, and on the other hand, some therapies used for atopic dermatitis may worsen viral infections whose lesions may be more diffuse and resistant to treatment. The authors present a patient with severe atopic dermatitis and disseminated molluscum contagiosum infection. The molluscum contagiosum did not clear with topical treatment, and it worsened her atopic dermatitis even more, so the authors started treatment with dupilumab.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of DPP4i-induced cases of BP and to evaluate whether gliptin-related BP has specific clinicopathological and immunological features.
