Background And Objective: Vibratory urticaria/angioedema is confirmed by the vortex provocation test. It has been agreed to measure the perimeter of the forearm after exposure to the vortex to define a positive response to it.
Material And Method: We evaluated the frequency of prior symptoms following vibratory stimuli in volunteers (using a questionnaire); the response to the vortex test in the same volunteers (increase in forearm perimeter, erythema, localized edema, heat, and pruritus); inter-rater reliability; and, the correlation between the questionnaire score and the response to the test.
Background And Objective: Diagnosis of vibratory urticaria/angioedema is established after performing the vortex provocation test. There is current consensus on measuring the forearm perimeter after running such test to define a positive response to it.

A new outbreak of monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection, a zoonotic infection endemic in Central and West Africa, is spreading throughout the world with new epidemiology and clinical features. Our aim was to characterize patients presenting to Dermatology emergency room with a MPXV infection between 15 May and 30 June 2022 in a tertiary hospital in Madrid, Spain. We collected 53 patients and describe their clinical, demographic and epidemiological characteristics and followed their evolution.

- * Out of 320 sepsis episodes studied, 57 episodes (17.8%) showed secondary skin lesions, with purpura (including petechiae/ecchymosis) being the most common finding, particularly in cases of respiratory or skin-related sepsis.
- * The study indicates that skin involvement in sepsis is common, with a notable impact on hospital stay duration (averaging 38.58 days) and a mortality rate of 21.1%, highlighting the need for non-specialist clinicians to recognize these signs.
