Extensive bullous lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a chronic disease of unknown etiology characterized by atrophic and sclerotic plaques in both genital and extragenital regions. Extensive bullous lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (BLSA) is a severe variant of the disease with no widely accepted treatment. We present a 63-year-old woman with extensive extragenital, ivory-colored, atrophic plaques on her trunk and extremities and disseminated hemorrhagic bullae.

Prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum in genital samples collected over 6 years at a Serbian university hospital.

Background: Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are implicated in a wide array of infectious diseases in adults and children. Since some species have innate or acquired resistance to certain types of antibiotics, antibiotic susceptibility testing of mycoplasma isolated from the urogenital tract assumes increasing importance.

Aims: To evaluate the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of M.

What is the impact of tumour size on dermoscopic diagnosis of BCC?

Background: The effect of size on diagnostic performance of dermoscopy in basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) is yet to be determined.

Objectives: To investigate the differences in dermoscopic features between small- and large-sized BCCs.

Methods: A total of 151 BCCs consecutively collected during a 2-year period were analysed.
