The association between bullous pemphigoid and comorbidities: a case-control study in Moroccan patients.

Background: Comorbidities of bullous pemphigoid (BP) have not been thoroughly described in Morocco. This study investigates clinical features, comorbidities, and medications in a cohort of Moroccan patients with confirmed BP to help decrease morbidity and mortality.

Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 81 cases of BP diagnosed in 2015-2018 and 162 age- and sex-matched controls with complete follow-up at the Department of Dermatology in a university hospital setting.

Risk factors associated with unsuppressed viral load in HIV-1 infected patients at the first antiretroviral therapy in Morocco.

Background: Nonsuppression of viral load (VL) in HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with increased HIV transmission and poor survival. The objective of this work was to evaluate the factors associated with the unsuppressed VL (VL >400 copies/ml) in HIV-1-infected patients after 6 months of the first-line ART.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 181 patients living with HIV-1 on ART in Dermatology and Venereology Department of Mohamed V Military Teaching Hospital of Rabat, during the period between January 1, 2007, and January 1, 2017.

[Soft tissue melanoma: a clinical case].

Soft tissue melanoma was first described by Enzinger in 1965 under the name of clear cell sarcoma. In 1983, Chung and Enzinger renamed it soft tissue melanoma due to its immunohistochemical similarities with melanoma. We here report the case of a 22-year old young man with this rare type of melanoma, presenting with molluscoid lesion on his ankle without any clinical sign of malignancy.

[Vitiligo revealing Vogt -Koyanagi-Harada disease].

Vitiligo is a chronic auto-immune skin disease, often associated or discovers other autoimmune pathologies. His association with Ophthalmological type pan uveitis and/or neurological type of meningitis and/or inner ear type of hearing loss determines the disease or Vogt -Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH). We related the case of a young woman who consulted for recurrent uveitis for a year, and it was only with the onset of vitiligo lesions that VKH disease diagnosis was discussed and confirmed.
