Article Synopsis
- Granuloma annulare is a noninfectious skin condition that appears as red or skin-colored plaques and can be difficult to diagnose due to its varied appearance, requiring correlation between clinical and histological findings.
- A case involving a 56-year-old woman who developed rashes after a tuberculin skin test is presented, with biopsy confirming granuloma annulare; treatment with topical and oral medications led to resolution of her symptoms.
- The exact cause of granuloma annulare remains unclear, with various potential triggers like trauma, infections, and immunizations; while it has different forms and mimics other skin diseases, it is generally a benign and self-limited condition.
While many COVID-19 studies focus on acute effects of the infection, few examine the intermediate and long-term sequelae of the illness. Studies have shown that a good portion of patients have chronic effects in several body systems for several months or longer. Such effects can potentially adversely impact pilot performance in flight.
