Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (CGPD) is a disease presenting most commonly in prepubertal children as yellow-brown papules limited to the perioral, perinasal and periocular regions. The condition is benign, self-limiting and is not associated with systemic involvement. We herein report a case of an 11-year-old Korean boy with multiple, asymptomatic, monomorphic, red-to-yellow-colored papular eruptions on the perioral areas of 7-month duration. Histopathological examination revealed upper dermal and perifollicular granulomatous infiltrate. After using oral erythromycin 500 mg daily for 1 year, the condition resolved completely without leaving a scar.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on long-term follow-up of 18 pediatric and adult patients with hypomorphic DCLRE1C mutations diagnosed with leaky severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
- Common clinical manifestations included recurrent infections, skin issues, autoimmune diseases, and malignancy, with a significant number of patients showing low immunoglobulin levels and T/B-cell lymphopenia.
- Findings suggested a dominant Th1 immune response, with elevated IFN-γ and T cells contributing to chronic inflammation and autoimmunity, emphasizing the need for ongoing patient monitoring post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Article Synopsis
- Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a common chronic childhood condition that can lead to uveitis in 20-25% of cases, requiring regular screening for early detection.
- Uveitis is typically chronic, asymptomatic, and involves inflammation in the front part of the eye, making collaboration between paediatric rheumatologists and ophthalmologists essential for effective management.
- Treatment usually begins with methotrexate, and if ineffective, may progress to adalimumab, with alternative options like anti-IL6 and anti-TNF agents available for persistent cases, though evidence for these is limited.
