Article Synopsis
- Chromoblastomycosis is a skin infection caused by certain types of dark-colored fungi and was diagnosed in a middle-aged man who had a persistent lesion for 20 years.
- Initially treated with oral terbinafine, the treatment shifted to itraconazole due to intolerance and low drug levels, leading to further changes to voriconazole and topical terbinafine.
- Despite ongoing treatment, the patient's condition worsened, leading him to pursue surgical options abroad, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing and treating this neglected tropical disease, especially in countries where it’s not commonly found.
Background: Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a rare, debilitating, chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects the hands and feet. Clinical, immunological and genetic findings suggest a pathogenic role for interleukin (IL)-1.
Objectives: To determine whether anakinra (an IL-1 receptor antagonist) delivers therapeutic benefit in PPP.
Importance: A high proportion of suspicious pigmented skin lesions referred for investigation are benign. Techniques to improve the accuracy of melanoma diagnoses throughout the patient pathway are needed to reduce the pressure on secondary care and pathology services.
Objective: To determine the accuracy of an artificial intelligence algorithm in identifying melanoma in dermoscopic images of lesions taken with smartphone and digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras.
