Cold urticaria as a complication of cryotherapy in the treatment of viral warts.

Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen has been established as the first-line treatment for pediatric patients with viral warts. Cold-induced urticaria (CU) is a rare skin reaction triggered by cold stimuli. We present the case of a pediatric patient with viral warts who developed CU after receiving cryotherapy.

Metagenomic Sequencing of Monkeypox Virus, Northern Mexico.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has gained interest because of a multicountry outbreak of mpox (formerly monkeypox) cases with no epidemiologic link to MPXV-endemic regions. We sequenced the complete genome of MPXV isolated from a patient in northern Mexico. Phylogenetic analysis grouped the virus with isolates from Germany.

Morphea mimicking facial capillary malformations: Two new cases and review of the literature.

Morphea and facial capillary malformations (port-wine stains) are distinct conditions that can affect the pediatric population. Early localized morphea mimicking a capillary malformation is an uncommon clinical presentation. We present two new cases of girls, aged 2 and 3 years, who presented with erythematous patches, initially diagnosed as capillary malformations, which were later diagnosed as morphea.

Efficacy and Safety of Topical Timolol for the Treatment of Infantile Hemangioma in the Early Proliferative Stage: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Treatment of infantile hemangioma (IH) with topical timolol in the first 2 months of life (early proliferative phase) may prevent further growth and the need for treatment with oral propranolol. To our knowledge, no studies have determined whether beginning early treatment with timolol for IH is better than in other proliferative stages.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of timolol maleate solution, 0.

Investigation of a suspected outbreak of lipoatrophia semicircularis in children.

Background And Objective: Recent reports of outbreaks of lipoatrophia semicircularis (LS) in various countries have generated discussion regarding the potential role of the environmental characteristics of office workplaces in new buildings. The objective of this study was to investigate a suspected outbreak of LS among children in a public school in Barcelona, which generated tremendous alarm.

Methods: We performed an epidemiological assessment including descriptive and prevalence analyses, and an environmental investigation followed by a psychiatric assessment according to Small's criteria.

Linear Morphea Mimicking Lichen Striatus in Its Early Presentation.

Linear morphea and lichen striatus are distinct conditions that have been linked in only one previous case report. We describe two patients with facial lichen striatus preceding linear morphea at the same site. A possible pathogenic relationship is discussed.

Intralesional Candida Antigen Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Recalcitrant and Multiple Warts in Children.

Background: Intralesional injection of Candida antigen appears to be an effective alternative for the treatment of warts.

Aim: To determine the efficacy and safety of this treatment.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of all children who received intralesional injection of Candida antigen at our center from January 2008 to July 2013.

An unusually severe case of dermatosis neglecta: a diagnostic challenge.

Dermatosis neglecta is a condition secondary to lack of cleanliness, characterized by the formation of hyperkeratotic plaques located in a particular region of the body, usually due to a disability, and it is considered a diagnostic challenge because it can mimic other entities. We present the case of an 18-year-old woman with a 2-month history of progressive brown verrucous plaque in her face. Our first impression was seborrheic dermatitis and she was treated with facial cleanser soap and topic hydrocortisone 1%.

Case report: Transient success using prolonged treatment with miltefosine for a patient with diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis infected with Leishmania mexicana mexicana.

Leishmania sp. is an intracellular parasite that causes a variable degree of clinical manifestations, especially in the skin. We present the case of a 38-year-old male with a chronic history of mucocutaneous disease present since childhood that generated deformity, loss of cartilage in the ears and nose, and scarring that limited his range of motion.
