AI Article Synopsis
- * A 37-year-old male with HIV had over 400 skin lesions resembling those of Mpox, which improved with symptomatic treatment.
- * Eight months later, he developed papular anetoderma in previously affected areas, confirmed by biopsy to show loss of elastic fibers, indicating it was caused by Mpox.
Article Abstract
Anetoderma or macular atrophy is a rare skin condition of unclear pathogenesis, often associated with autoimmune diseases and skin damage from various infections. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, and poxviruses have been implicated in the development of anetoderma. A 37-year-old male patient with HIV and recent unprotected sexual encounters presented with more than 400 skin lesions, consistent with Mpox. Symptomatic treatment for Mpox resulted in acute symptom resolution. However, 8 months later he developed papular anetoderma lesions in areas previously affected by Mpox. Biopsy confirmed the loss of elastic fibers in the affected skin areas, leading to the diagnosis of Mpox-induced anetoderma. This report presents a unique case of anetoderma following Mpox in an HIV-positive patient.

Article Synopsis
- Wilson disease is a rare genetic disorder that leads to excessive copper accumulation in various organs, and penicillamine is a key treatment that can cause serious skin reactions.
- A case involving a 41-year-old man with Wilson disease showed localized cutis laxa (CL) after long-term use of penicillamine, with skin changes noticed in the neck area.
- The findings suggest that prolonged penicillamine treatment might cause localized CL through interference with collagen fiber connections.
