Immunosuppressive treatments used in the management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, namely steroids, thiopurines and anti-TNF drugs, raise the risk of acquiring opportunistic infections. However, most of these infections are mild and self-limited, not requiring specific therapy or suspension of the immunosuppressors. We report a case of disseminated cutaneous herpes simplex infection in a patient with Crohn's disease under steroids and azathioprine.

Cardiovascular involvement in Leishmania sp. infections still requires further elucidation, with cutaneous and organic changes being more frequently observed. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of cardiovascular involvement in dogs with canine visceral leishmaniasis, considering a publication span of over 80 years.

Worldwide, a variety of mycobacterial species have been associated with skin lesions in dogs and cats. Lesions may result from systemic dissemination or local cutaneous inoculation. Only infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex organisms have the potential to be transmitted from companion animals to humans, but even then, zoonotic risk is considered low.

Article Synopsis
- Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis causes various types of leishmaniasis, and the study investigates how different subpopulations (Thor03, Thor10, Thor22) affect disease progression in BALB/c mice.
- The research found that after three weeks of infection, Thor03 and Thor10 led to larger lesions and influenced immune response markers, showing lower IL-12 and TNF levels, while Thor10 had the highest IL-10 levels.
- The study concluded that these subpopulations might lead to mild footpad lesions but can persist in lymph nodes, highlighting differences in infection patterns and immune responses among the subpopulations.
