Article Synopsis
  • In 2021, a program was launched to encourage pediatricians to use teledermatology, and a satisfaction questionnaire was developed to evaluate their perceptions of this approach.
  • * A draft of the questionnaire was created based on literature, then refined by experts for clarity and relevance, ultimately ensuring all questions met a content validity index above 0.78.
  • * The final validated questionnaire showed strong internal consistency and reliability, making it a useful tool for assessing pediatricians' satisfaction with teledermatology despite some concerns regarding its construct validity.*

Background: Clinicians are increasingly prescribing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to treat cancer, but the real-world incidence, characteristics and risk factors of cutaneous immune-related adverse events (cirAEs) are unclear.

Objectives: To determine the incidence, features and risk factors of cirAEs and to measure their possible association with extracutaneous toxicity.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in a Spanish tertiary care hospital, including people who started an ICI between March 2020 and May 2022.

Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the clinical, histological and imaging characteristics of congenital haemangiomas (CHs), and have reported possible complications and atypical behaviour. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical, histological and ultrasound features of a series of CHs and to analyse their association with complications and atypical behaviour, with a view to providing diagnostic and management recommendations. The medical records, histology results and ultrasound images of all patients with CH diagnosed in the Dermatology Department of Alicante University General Hospital between 2006 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.

A 4-year-old girl presented with a 2-month history of round, hypopigmented, slightly scaly patches measuring 1-6 cm and encircled by an erythematous halo, first appearing on the lower limbs then spreading to the whole body. Three biopsies were taken as the condition progressed, each showing a lymphocytic infiltrate affecting a medium-sized artery at the dermal-subcutaneous junction, with a concentric fibrin ring. These findings are characteristic of lymphocytic thrombophilic arteritis (LTA).

Chilblain-like acral lesions have been identified in some coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. It has been suggested that these pseudo-chilblains could be a specific marker of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Most patients with these lesions have had negative polymerase chain reactions (PCRs), but some authors believe serology tests are likely to give positive results.
