Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are the most common type of adverse reactions to medications, and this study focused on their epidemiology in a tertiary hospital in Mexico.
- Over a 10-year period, researchers analyzed the frequency of ADRs in 61 hospitalized patients and those attending the outpatient Dermatology Clinic, identifying common conditions like acneiform dermatitis and maculopapular exanthema, primarily linked to certain medications such as prednisone and hydroxychloroquine.
- The findings suggest that multiple medications taken simultaneously are significant risk factors for these reactions, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to improve their skills in recognizing and managing these skin-related issues to reduce risks to patient health.
Article Synopsis
- This project gathered experts to create guidelines for treating a skin condition called pediatric Mycosis fungoides (MF), which is different from how adults are treated.
- They talked about important factors that go beyond just measuring the size of the disease, like itching, how it affects daily life, and feelings of worry or embarrassment.
- The team made 10 recommendations for managing both early and advanced stages of pediatric MF, but they still need more information on how to treat the later stages properly.
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by the fungus . It can manifest in various ways, ranging from pulmonary to disseminated presentations. Most of the disseminated cases are seen in immunocompromised patients; here, we present an unusual case of an 81-year-old Mexican male with a history of cave exposure in his childhood, with 75 years of incubation period of the disease, who developed disseminated cutaneous histoplasmosis with no evident immunocompromising conditions.

A punch biopsy was performed due to concerns about skin conditions like vitiligo or morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The biopsy confirmed a micronodular BCC, an unusual presentation, as these typically manifest as an erythematous macule or thin papule/plaque.

Their etiology includes a wide range of dermatoses, from benign to malignant diseases. The clinical presentation appears very similar between them, making the correct diagnoses and management a challenge.
