Quality of Life in Individuals with Erythematotelangiectatic and Papulopustular Rosacea: Findings From a Web-based Survey.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of rosacea on self-perception, emotional, social, and overall well-being and quality of life in individuals with erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR) and papulopustular rosacea (PPR). We distributed a cross-sectional email invitation for participants in the United States to fill out a web-based survey. We included adults who reported having previously received a diagnosis of erythematotelangiectatic rosacea or papulopustular rosacea.

Neonatal lupus erythematosus mimicking langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized primarily by transient skin lesions and/or permanent congenital heart block. Other clinical findings include self-limited cytopenias and liver disease. The syndrome results from the passive transfer of maternal anti-SSA, anti-SSB, or anti-U1RNP autoantibodies to the fetus across the placenta.

Hypersensitivity reaction in a child due to lamotrigine.

Lamotrigine is an anticonvulsant with a broad spectrum of activity that has been approved in the United States for use in adults with either partial or generalized seizures. This drug is being widely prescribed by pediatricians and neurologists because it is effective in children with idiopathic, resistant, generalized seizures and does not impair cognition. As with other anticonvulsants, a hypersensitivity syndrome has been described.

Prevalence of cutaneous findings in hospitalized pediatric patients.

Cutaneous findings can be useful in establishing the diagnosis and treatment of hospitalized patients. Observation and identification of cutaneous abnormalities can improve the accuracy of diagnosis and result in improved patient care. We set out to determine the prevalence of cutaneous abnormalities in hospitalized pediatric patients in a hospital and how often these findings were noted and properly diagnosed by the admitting team of physicians.
