Fegeler Syndrome Mimicking Kaposi Sarcoma: A Case Report.

Acquired capillary malformation, also known as Fegeler syndrome, is a rare condition in adults, often linked to trauma. This report presents a 49-year-old male with a violaceous nodule on the fourth toe, clinically resembling Kaposi's sarcoma. Dermoscopic examination revealed surface scaling, thick intersecting white lines, and a rainbow pattern.

Psoriatic arthritis, biologic therapy experience, body mass index, and onset age of psoriasis were independent factors of secukinumab discontinuation in patients with psoriasis.

Introduction: Despite the availability of several treatments for psoriasis (PsO), factors influencing the persistence of secukinumab (SEC) therapy remain inadequately understood. This study aimed to identify predictors of SEC persistence in PsO.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 109 PsO patients who received SEC treatment at least 1 year.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patients: a Cross-Sectional Study From Tertiary Referral Hospital.

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, disabling skin disorder which is characterized by recurrent attacks of nodule, abscess, sinus tract formation and scarring. Oral/topical antibiotics, oral retinoids and TNF-alpha inhibitors are used for the treatment of HS.

Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) positivity and the presence of COVID-19 related symptoms in relation to the age, gender, body mass index, disease duration, treatment used for HS, treatment duration and smoking.

Diagnostic Role of Direct Immunofluorescence Assay in Determining The Etiology of Erythroderma: Experience in a Tertiary Referral Hospital.

Introduction: Erythroderma is a life-threatening dermatologic emergency which is characterized by diffuse erythema and exfoliation affecting more than 90% of the body surface area. Most common cutaneous diseases associated with erythroderma are systemic contact dermatitis, psoriasis, drug eruption and atopic dermatitis. Clinical-pathological correlation is used to determine the underlying disease.

Evaluation of Diagnostic Accuracy and Therapeutic Approach of Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons To Non-Melanocytic Skin Lesions By Using Telemedicine.

Introduction: In the new circumstances of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, tele-dermatology and tele-dermoscopy have become more important in daily practice for departments for which visuality is at the forefront as dermatology and plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Objectives: This study was aimed to determine diagnostic accuracy and treatment approaches of non-melanocytic skin lesions between 2 clinics by store and forward tele-dermatology method and to evaluate the contribution of tele-dermoscopy to the diagnostic accuracy for dermatologists.

Methods: A total of 26 patients with non-melanocytic skin lesions were included in the study.

Dermatology consultation requests from a university hospital's pediatric and adult emergency departments: A 5-year retrospective analysis.

Background: Unnecessary dermatology consultation requests from emergency departments (EDs) are a common occurrence worldwide.

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients consulted to the dermatology department for dermatologic disorders by a university hospital's pediatric ED (PED) and adult ED (AED).

Materials And Methods: The electronic medical records of 2316 dermatology consultation requests from the PED and AED during a 5-year period were retrospectively reviewed.

The effect of COVID-19 on patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria treated with omalizumab and antihistamines: A cross-sectional, comparative study.

Introduction: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is defined as recurrent attacks of urticaria present for more than six weeks. The monoclonal anti-immunoglobulin E antibody, omalizumab, was approved for the treatment of CSU in patients who remain refractory to H1-antihistamines. Biologic agents are shown not to increase the risk of COVID-19 infection in different studies.

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on dermatology consultation requests from adult and paediatric emergency departments.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the characteristics of dermatology consultation requests from the adult and paediatric emergency departments (EDs) of a university hospital during 8 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and to compare them with the same 8 months of 2019.

Materials And Methods: Electronic medical records of dermatology consultation requests from adult and paediatric EDs between 15 March 2019 and 15 November 2019, and between 15 March 2020 and 15 November 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: The study included 495 consecutive dermatology consultation requests.

Treatment of psoriasis with biologics in the early COVID-19 pandemic: A study examining patient attitudes toward the treatment and disease course.

Background: Since March 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been ongoing all around the world with a wide range of clinical course including asymptomatic cases to severe and fatal respiratory tract disease. Patients on immunosuppressive treatments were predicted to be more susceptible to COVID-19.

Aims: It was aimed to assess treatment continuity, the course of psoriasis and the course and clinical features of COVID-19 in patients treated with biological agents for psoriasis at the early initial period of COVID-19 pandemic.

Paediatric lichen sclerosus et atrophicus: A retrospective analysis of 38 paediatric patients.

Background: Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is a chronic inflammatory cutaneous disease.

Aim: To evaluate the characteristics of paediatric LSA patients in Turkey.

Material And Methods: Data for patients aged <18 years who were diagnosed with LSA by a paediatric dermatologist were retrospectively reviewed.

Serial Quantiferon-TB Gold test results in 279 patients with psoriasis receiving biologic therapy.

The risk of active tuberculosis is still a concern in patients receiving biologics. To determine the risk of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) reactivation by Quantiferon-TB Gold (QFT) assay in psoriatic patients treated with biologics in 11 years' follow-up, along with chest radiography alterations. This retrospective study included 279 patients with plaque-type and/or pustular, or nail psoriasis who were treated with biologics, and had results for ≥2 LTBI tests.

Evaluation of microfocused ultrasound for improving skin laxity in the lower face: A retrospective study.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a newer microfocused ultrasound (MFU) device on the lower face laxity. Subjects who underwent MFU therapy for skin tightening were enrolled in the study. The primary outcome measure was overall improvement in skin laxity of the lower face that was evaluated by improvement on jawline irregularities, marionette line, and submental laxity.
