Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Ecthyma is a deeper form of impetigo involving the epidermis and dermis causing ulcerative plaques. Pathogens commonly responsible for the disease (group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus) typically afflicts children, presenting during early stages with skin lesions that can closely resemble other vesicular and ulcerative dermatoses, such as those observed in mpox infection. The ongoing global outbreak of monkeypox has escalated the urgency for clinicians to accurately differentiate between these conditions due to their overlapping dermatological manifestations.

Bacterial and viral cutaneous infections pose a great risk of serious complications in combat athletes and contribute to a significant amount of time lost in practice and competition. Although these infections can be treated with standard antimicrobials, the rise in resistance of Staphylococcus aureus and dermatophytes calls for updated treatment recommendations.

Dermatopathology (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Pathology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22903, USA.
The diagnostic utility of immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded sections in bullous disorders is useful when frozen tissue is not available. In pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, an intercellular lace-like staining pattern of IgG4 on lesional tissue by immunohistochemistry has been described, with a comparable sensitivity and specificity to direct immunofluorescence on perilesional tissue. This study aimed to evaluate the staining pattern of IgG4 in non-immunobullous disorders to highlight the potential pitfalls when using this stain.
