Multifocal Infantile Hemangioma - Presentation of 4 Cases and Review of the Selected Literature.

Background: Multifocal infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are focal cutaneous lesions affecting more than 1 anatomic site. The multifocal distribution pattern is the rarest form of IH manifestation, accounting for only 3-4% of all affected infants. This type of cutaneous IHs may be a marker for extracutaneous disease, with the liver being the most frequently affected organ.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease in Children: Clinical Characteristics of an Outbreak in Novi Sad, Serbia.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a relatively common mild viral infection that usually affects young children, mainly occurring during the late spring, early summer, and fall months. It is most commonly caused by members of the human enterovirus (HEV) genus. Recently, HFMD has received renewed attention because of evidence that this disease could have clinical, epidemiological, and etiological characteristics different from those initially associated with it.

Infantile Hemangiomas with Minimal or Arrested Growth - Do They Occur More Often in Premature Infants Than It Seemed?

Infantile hemangiomas with minimal or arrested growth (IH-MAGs) are a subtype of infantile hemangiomas (IHs), characterized by absent or minimal (equal or less than 25% of the total IH surface area) proliferation. They are less conspicuous than classical IHs, but can also be complicated by ulceration or can be misdiagnosed as capillary malformations. The literature on IH-MAGs is scarce, but with increasing interest in the literature.

Iatrogenic Anetoderma of Prematurity: A Series of 5 Clinical Cases and Literature Review.

Iatrogenic anetoderma of prematurity (IAOP) represents a benign iatrogenic dermatosis characterized by focal, well-demarcated areas of atrophic skin in preterm infants. We present the cases of 5 infants diagnosed with IAOP during a 3-year period in a tertiary-care university hospital. Skin atrophy patches were absent at birth in all presented infants, and there was no family history of anetoderma.

Major risk factors for chronic venous disease development in women: is childbirth among them?

Many studies have reported that Chronic venous disease (CVD) occurs more in females than males, due to pregnancy. The study was conducted over the period 2014-2015 at the Dermatovenereological clinic, Novi Sad, Serbia. We performed a cross-sectional study of 554 women.

Frequency of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Patients With Chronic Venous Insufficiency.

Background: It is estimated that about 15% (10% - 30% in most of the studies) of the total adult population has some aspects of the Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). Frequency of the Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in the adult population is 3% - 4%. Studies dealing with etiopathogenesis of leg ulcers show that between 10% and 18% of all ulcers are of mixed, arterial-venous origin.

Epidemiological and clinical features of erythema infectiosum in children in Novi Sad from 2000 to 2009.

Background/aim: Erythema infectiosum (EI) is a common childhood illness, caused by human parvovirus B19. It occurs sporadically or in epidemics and is characterized by mild constitutional symptoms and a blotchy or maculopapular lacy rash on the cheeks (slapped-cheek) spreading primarily to the extremities and trunk.

Drug-related pityriasis rubra pilaris with acantholysis.

Introduction: Acantholysis is rarely reported histological feature of Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP), recently recognized as having diagnostic specificity for differentiating PRP from psoriasis.

Case Report: Adult male patient one week after the introduction of simvastatin had experienced pruritic erythemo-squamous eruption on head and upper trunk that in a month progressed to erythrodermia, with islands of sparing. Histological picture combined pemphigus-like acantholysis with alternating hyper- and parakeratosis, follicular plugs and dermal inflammation, and confirmed the clinical diagnosis of classic adult type 1 PRP.

Vitiligo and thyroid dysfunction in children and adolescents.

The link between vitiligo and thyroid disease has been proved in adult patients. The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in children and adolescents with vitiligo and to identify any predisposing factors of this association. This retrospective study included 75 children and adolescents with vitiligo: 47 (62.

Recurrent infections and cows-milk hypersensitivity in a 2-year-old girl with hyper immunoglobulin E syndrome.

The hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome is a rare complex primary immunodeficiency characterized by high serum IgE levels, eczema, and recurrent infections. We present a case of 2-years-old girl with eczema and repeated bacterial skin and lung infections since the period of infancy. The patient also had eosinophilia, high serum levels of IgE, and cows-milk hypersensitivity.

[Papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome--a case report].

Introduction: Papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome is a rare manifestation associated with acute seronegative arthritis and skin lesions. It is triggered by a viral infection, most commonly by Human parvovirus B19 or Coxsackie group of viruses, but precise viral diagnosis is not obtained in all cases.

Case Report: A 54-year old male patient experienced sudden, intense pain and swelling in the carpal area of his left hand.

Erythema infectiosum in children. A Clinical study.

Erythema infectiosum is a childhood illness characterized by mild constitutional symptoms and a blotchy or maculopopular lacy rash on the cheeks (slapped - cheek) spreading primarily to the extremities and trunk. The disease is caused by human parvovirus B19. Erythema infectiosum epidemics occur in a cyclic fashion, mostly during winter and spring months.

[Some psychological characteristics of children and adolescents with vitiligo--our results].

Introduction: Numerous studies have characterized patients with chronic skin disease as psychologically vulnerable, mainly due to the fact that their condition affects their social relations and all other aspects of life. The purpose of this work was to determine whether there are significant differences in the level of anxiety, severity of depressive symptoms, and presence of stressful life events between adolescent patients with vitiligo and healthy peers.

Material And Methods: 33 patients with vitiligo aged 10-15 years, and a control group of 60 healthy subjects of the same age, were included in this prospective study.

[Autoantibodies in children with vitiligo].

Introduction: Vitiligo is an acquired, sometimes familial skin depigmentation disorder. In about half of patients it occurs before the age of twenty. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and significance of autoantibodies (AT) and associated autoimmune and endocrine diseases in children with vitiligo, in relation to adults with vitiligo and children without vitiligo.

[Vitiligo in childhood].

Introduction: Vitiligo is an acquired, sometimes familial skin depigmentation disorder due to selective destruction of melanocytes. Vitiligo is primarily a disease of the young; in about half of patients it occurs before the age of twenty. The aim of this study was to investigate some epidemiological and clinical characteristics of vitiligo in children, in relation to adults with vitiligo and children without vitiligo.
