Background: Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) may discontinue dupilumab owing to dupilumab-induced ocular adverse events (DOAEs) or dupilumab-induced facial redness (DFR).
Objective: To evaluate DOAE and DFR outcomes after switching to tralokinumab or Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi).
Methods: This retrospective study included 106 patients discontinuing dupilumab because of DOAEs and/or DFR.
We describe a rare case of early Lyme borreliosis in France caused by Borrelia spielmanii, which manifested as a large erythema chronicum migrans rash. The patient completely recovered after a 15-day course of amoxicillin. Absence of pathognomonic signs prevented distinguishing B.

Even though considerable research is being produced in medical entomology, no reports on patient management in clinical entomology units are available in the literature.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively surveyed all the records from patients having consulted in our outpatient clinical entomology unit in Nice University Hospital from 2012 to 2020.
Objective: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic mucocutaneous disorder characterized by epithelial fragility leading to blister formation on skin and mucous membranes with even minor mechanical trauma. Most EB oral health publications give fragmented information, focusing on only one oral health aspect or one EB type. The aim of this study was to expand the knowledge of the overall oral health status of individuals with dystrophic, junctional, and simplex EB.

Background/objectives: We observed isolated cases of perialar intertrigo in children and teenagers that did not appear to correspond to any known clinical entity. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical features of this dermatosis and the clinical characteristics of the patients.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, multicenter cohort study in France from August 2017 to November 2019.
Introduction: Bier anemic spots, cyanosis, and urticaria-like eruption (BASCULE) syndrome is an underreported pediatric vascular disorder from the group of acrosyndromes. In children, these include paroxysmal acrosyndromes (Raynaud's phenomenon and chilblain-like lesions), permanent acrosyndromes (acrocyanosis), and transient acrosyndromes, in which their pathogeneses are associated with virus infections, Epstein-Barr virus, and, more recently, SARS-CoV-2, respectively.
Methods: We reported a case of BASCULE syndrome associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and provided a narrative review of case reports describing the BASCULE syndrome in children.
We report patients in their homes in France who had cutaneous lesions caused by Anthrenus sp. larvae during the end of winter and into spring. These lesions mimic bites but are allergic reactions to larvae hairs pegged in the skin.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe report 20 newborns who developed, at a median age of 7 days, large abdominal patches of radially arranged purplish telangiectasia in a bilateral and symmetrical pattern in relation to the midline, creating a "butterfly wing" pattern. Clinical examination was normal in 13 newborns, six newborns had abdominal distention, and one newborn had poor weight gain due to inadequate breastfeeding. Most lesions spontaneously resolved within 3 months and did not reoccur for 19 newborns.

This suggested that monitoring of these searches with tools including Google Trends may help monitor the pandemic itself. In Europe and North America, dermatologists reported an unexpected outbreak of cutaneous acral lesions (eg, chilblain-like lesions) in April 2020.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFImportance: Chilblain-like lesions have been reported during the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The pathophysiology of such manifestations remains largely unknown.
Objective: To perform a systematic clinical, histologic, and biologic assessment in a cohort of patients with chilblain-like lesions occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic.
