The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has severely impacted human health and the health management system globally. The ongoing pandemic has required the development of more effective diagnostic strategies for restricting deadly disease. For appropriate disease management, accurate and rapid screening and isolation of the affected population is an efficient means of containment and the decimation of the disease.

Over the past 10 years, the environmental and veterinary communities have sounded alarms over an insidious keratinophilous fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, that has decimated populations of bats (yes, bats, chiropterans) throughout North America and, most recently, Northern China and Siberia. We as dermatologists may find this invasive keratinophilous fungus of particular interest, as its method of destruction is disruption of the homeostatic mechanism of the bat wing integument. Although it is unlikely that this pathogen will become an infectious threat to humans, its environmental impact will likely affect us all, especially as recent data have shown upregulation of naturally occurring coronaviruses in coinfected bats.

For centuries, scurvy, or vitamin C deficiency, decimated crews of sailing ships on long sea voyages and populations deprived of fresh fruits and vegetables during times of war or famine. Today, scurvy is extremely rare in the United States, and its classic findings of perifollicular petechiae, edema and purpura of the lower extremities, corkscrew hairs, and hemorrhagic gingivitis may go unrecognized. We report the case of a man from rural Appalachia who developed typical signs and symptoms of scurvy on two separate occasions, approximately 2 years apart.
