Parental Assessment of Infantile Hemangioma Cosmetic Clinical Outcomes: Results of the Spanish Hemangioma Nationwide Prospective Cohort.

Background: Functional impairment is the main consideration when it comes to choosing therapy for infantile hemangiomas (IH). However, since most hemangiomas are treated for cosmetic reasons, it is important to know the cosmetic outcome assessed by the parents.

Objective: To evaluate the aesthetic outcomes of IH, considering the characteristics of the lesions and the treatments used.

Dupilumab treatment in paediatric atopic dermatitis (2-18 years): Spanish multicentre retrospective real-world study.

Background: Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) can be difficult to manage in paediatric patients, and there are few licensed treatments available for this age group. Dupilumab is approved for the treatment of AD in children older than 6 months.

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in a real-world cohort of paediatric patients with AD in Spain.

Melanoma-specific survival is worse in the elderly: a multicentric cohort study.

We aimed to characterise cutaneous melanoma in the elderly and determine its association with poorer prognosis. We studied a prospective cohort of the melanoma population in Catalonia between 2012 and 2016. We compared young patient group (<75 years old) with elderly patient group (≥75 years old).

Baseline description of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology infantile haemangioma nationwide prospective cohort. Comparison of patients treated with propranolol in routine clinical practice with previous pivotal clinical trial data.

Background: There are several therapeutic options for infantile haemangiomas (IH). Propranolol is used according to a pivotal trial. We aimed to describe the characteristics of IH in clinical practice, including the therapies used, and to compare the characteristics of patients treated with propranolol with those of the trial to assess its external validity.

Cutaneous infection caused by Aspergillus ustus, an emerging opportunistic fungus in immunosuppressed patients.

We report a case of primary cutaneous infection by the emerging fungus Aspergillus ustus in an immunosuppressed patient after a domestic accident. The patient failed to respond to itraconazole and died before receiving a new treatment with amphotericin B. There have been eight other cases reported since 1973, and only two patients survived the infection.

Ofuji's papuloerythroderma following choledocholithiasis with secondary sepsis: complete resolution with surgery.

We describe a case of Ofuji's papuloerythroderma (PE) in a 72-year-old man with biliary sepsis induced by choledocholithiasis. The PE disappeared completely after surgery with no relapse. This aetiology for PE does not appear to have been described previously, while its resolution after treatment of the primary process supports the idea that it may be a reactive disorder of multifactorial origin.

Loose anagen hair in hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

We report a 4 year-old boy affected with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in whom loose anagen hair syndrome (LAHS) was suspected clinically. The diagnosis was confirmed by examination of hair by optic and scanning electron microscopy. Loose anagen hairs have not been previously described in the ectodermal dysplasias.

Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji: a report of 2 cases including the first European case associated with visceral carcinoma.

Papuloerythroderma (PE) is a rare type of erythroderma of the elderly which results from the coalescence of sheets of papules that spare skin folds, with peripheral eosinophilia in most cases. Skin biopsy shows a nonspecific eczematous pattern with a mature T cell lymphocytic and eosinophilic infiltrate with Langerhans cells in the dermis. We report 2 cases of PE.

Cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Alternaria longipes in an immunosuppressed patient.

Alternaria longipes was reported as the agent of a cutaneous infection in a patient with a neoplastic disease. The fungus has not been reported previously as causing disease in humans. It was distinguished by its rather small conidia with smooth or slightly verruculose walls and a pale brown beak which rarely extended into a secondary conidiophore.

Fluconazole-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are prone to severe drug reactions, mainly from sulfonamides. We report the case of a 33-year-old male patient with HIV infection (group IV C-2 of CDC staging system) that developed a toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) affecting more than 70% of the body surface area and severe mucosal involvement after starting fluconazole for a recurrent oral thrush with dysphagia. This is to our knowledge the first reported case of TEN due to fluconazole.

[Kaposi's sarcoma associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. An analysis of 67 cases with a study of the prognostic factors].

The features and prognostic factors of 67 cases of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) associated to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) diagnosed at the Hospital Clinic, Barcelona, are analyzed. All the patients were male; mean age was 39.7 years, ranging from 22 and 62 years.
