Dermatologic manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF) include nutrient deficiency dermatoses, vasculitis, transient reactive papulotranslucent acrokeratodema, digital clubbing, and increased rates of atopy and drug reactions. Few cases of a characteristic eruption in patients with episodic arthritis of CF have been described with prior reports primarily occurring outside of the dermatology literature. We report four cases consistent with this presentation to add to the literature and propose a new and unifying name to recognize this entity as cystic fibrosis dermatitis arthritis syndrome (CF-DAS).

Article Synopsis
  • Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene, leading to symptoms like frequent lung and sinus infections, digestive issues, and nutritional deficiencies.
  • The disease can also cause various skin problems, including specific rashes and conditions linked to nutrient deficiencies, and can occasionally present with skin symptoms before respiratory or digestive complications appear.
  • Dermatologists are crucial in identifying and managing these skin issues in CF patients, especially considering the effects of common antibiotics and CFTR modulating therapies that may cause skin reactions.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a painful and often progressive inflammatory skin condition that presents with papules, nodules, abscesses, and tunnels in the axillary, inframammary and anogenital regions. HS can be difficult to differentiate from a skin infection, such as a bacterial abscess. However, differentiation between the two is important as management of hidradenitis suppurativa often requires long-term follow-up and specialist care.

Goal: Clinician stress and resilience have been the subjects of significant research and interest in the past several decades. We aimed to understand the factors that contribute to clinician stress and resilience in order to appropriately guide potential interventions.

Methods: We conducted a scoping review (n = 42) of published reviews of research on clinician distress and resilience using the methodology of Peters and colleagues (2020).
