A case of febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease responsive to systemic corticosteroids.

Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease (FUMHD) is a rare, potentially fatal subtype of pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA). Herein, we present a rare case of a 14-year-old male without significant past medical history who was diagnosed with FUMHD without a clear inciting factor. He was effectively treated with systemic corticosteroids with complete resolution of symptoms.

Remdesivir and Mortality in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Background: The impact of remdesivir (RDV) on mortality rates in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is controversial, and the mortality effect in subgroups of baseline disease severity has been incompletely explored. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of RDV with mortality rates in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study we compared persons receiving RDV with those receiving best supportive care (BSC).
