Dapagliflozin-associated chronic balanitis due to Streptococcus agalactiae.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Secondary bacterial infections commonly occur in skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, ectoparasitosis, and varicella zoster, primarily involving Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, with occasions of Gram-negative infections as well.
- - Factors that promote these infections include changes to the skin barrier, itchiness, and specific environmental influences, which can vary based on the patient's location and the type of dermatosis.
- - Effective prevention and treatment hinge on managing the underlying skin condition, maintaining proper skin hygiene, and in cases of recurrence, addressing S. aureus colonization.

Background: Little is known about phototype and the response to systemic treatment in psoriasis.
Objectives: To assess the characteristics of psoriasis, the therapeutic choice and its efficacy according to phototype.
Methods: We included patients from the PsoBioTeq cohort initiating a first biologic.
Background: In France, psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. For several years now, particular attention has been given to the quality of life (Qol) of psoriasis patients. Sexual dysfunction (SD) defined as not wanting or enjoying sexual experience is an important component of Qol.

Article Synopsis
- Multiple assays are used for diagnosing neurosyphilis (NS) from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but there's no definitive 'gold standard' test.
- This study assessed two PCR tests and three serological techniques on CSF samples from 143 patients suspected of NS.
- While molecular tests showed high specificity, none had great sensitivity; serological tests like treponemal tests excelled in sensitivity but were less specific, indicating the need for a combined approach of clinical assessment and lab tests for accurate NS diagnosis.
Objectives: We evaluated a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) for detection of the (TP) genome in clinical samples through simultaneous detection of two genomic targets.
Methods: We performed qPCR with TaqMan technology using two TP genes, and , as targets, with an internal positive control. The qPCR assay was compared with syphilis diagnosis based on a combination of clinical examination, serological results and inhouse nested PCR (nPCR).
We report on the sexual disorders common in patients with psoriasis, and examine the underlying reasons, including the use of psoriasis treatments that can result in sexual difficulties.

Here we characterize the colonization dynamics and abundance of nine species of Caenorhabditis nematodes in neotropical French Guiana, the most speciose known assemblage of this genus, with resource use overlap and notoriously similar external morphology despite deep genomic divergence.
Methods: To characterize the dynamics and specificity of colonization and exploitation of ephemeral resource patches, we conducted manipulative field experiments and the largest sampling effort to date for Caenorhabditis outside of Europe.
