Epidemiologic features and risk of scarring in pediatric patients with kerion celsi.

Background: Kerion celsi represents the inflammatory extreme of tinea capitis, as a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to the causative dermatophyte. Data regarding prevalence, trends in pathogens, and risk factors for scarring are limited.

Objective: The main objective of the study is to assess clinical and epidemiologic features of children with kerion celsi and risk factors for scarring.

Treating pediatric cutaneous Leishmania tropica with systemic liposomal amphotericin B: A retrospective, single-center study.

Leishmania tropica (L. tropica) cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is associated with high morbidity and low response rate to therapy, especially in pediatric patients. Intravenous (IV) liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) has been used off-label as a treatment for L.

Biogeographical Landscape of the Human Face Skin Microbiome Viewed in High Definition.

The bacterial community that colonizes the human face imparts physiochemical and physiological effects on the facial skin. These skin-microbe interactions impact dermatological, cosmetic and skincare applications due to the centrality of the human face in daily interactions. However, fine-scale characterization of the human face skin microbiome is lacking.

[NEONATAL SKIN MANIFESTATION OF LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS].

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is rare during the newborn period. The term is used to describe a disorder characterized by infiltration of Langerhans cells into various organs. Langerhans cells are derived from the bone marrow, and are a type of dendritic cells found primarily in the epidermis.

Skin Microbiome Compositional Changes in Atopic Dermatitis Accompany Dead Sea Climatotherapy.

Dead Sea climatotherapy (DSC) is a well-established therapeutic modality for the treatment of several diseases, including atopic dermatitis. Skin microbiome studies have shown that skin microbiome diversity is anticorrelated with both atopic dermatitis severity and concurrent Staphylococcus aureus overgrowth. This study aimed to determine whether DSC induces skin microbiome changes concurrent with clinical improvements in atopic dermatitis.

[SOLAR URTICARIA].

Solar urticaria is a rare photodermatosis. It belongs to the group of physical urticarias. In this particular urticarial, erythema and whealing accompanied by pruritus occur seconds to minutes after exposure to light.
