An otherwise healthy 47-year-old woman presented with confluent pustular lesions on the scalp for 5 months and asymptomatic pustular lesions on the trunk and extremities for 2 weeks. She did not have systemic clinical manifestations and was treated with oral antifungals and antibiotics (amoxicillin, and clavulanic acid and flucloxacillin), with no effect. The lesions were unrelated to her menstrual cycle, and she had no history of dermatosis, including acne, psoriasis, or folliculitis. (. 2022;20:466-468).

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.

The research aimed to investigate the perinatal pathology of Alpine ibex () through the study of four young subjects (at the age of 3 to 4 months) found dead in Valle d'Aosta, a region of northwestern Italy. The carcasses were submitted to necropsy followed by an examination of ecto- and endoparasites (ECP and ENP); samples from the gross lesions (in summary, cutaneous papilloma and crusts, ocular discharge, lobular haemorrhagic areas in the lungs, catarrhal-haemorrhagic enterocolitis) were analysed by bacteriological, histopathological, and biomolecular methods to define the etiological agent. The subjects, with various co-infection patterns, were affected by contagious ecthyma virus (ORFV) (agent of a highly diffusive pustular dermatitis transmissible to small ruminants and humans), Enteropathogenic (EPEC) (major etiological agent of infantile diarrhoea especially in developing countries), (MC) (cause of an ocular infection common to goats and sheep), various ECP (ticks and keds) and ENP (lung and intestinal nematodes, and coccidia).

Isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid) is a well-established systemic treatment for moderate to severe acne vulgaris, renowned for its ability to target multiple contributors to acne pathogenesis. However, its therapeutic potential extends beyond conventional acne management. This case report highlights its efficacy in treating recalcitrant pustular dermatosis, a condition that proved resistant to standard therapies and posed significant diagnostic challenges.
