Generalized anetoderma in a patient with HIV and dual mycobacterial infection.

A middle-aged HIV infected man receiving treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis, presented with a febrile illness along with evanescent, erythematous nodular lesions all over the body. On examination, he had features suggestive of lepromatous leprosy with lesions of erythema nodosum leprosum. In addition, there were multiple small, circumscribed areas of slack skin, clinically and histopathologically suggestive of anetoderma. Both leprosy and HIV infection are known to give rise to lesions of anetoderma. Pathogenesis of anetoderma in these infectious conditions is discussed.

Photosensitivity in children: an approach to diagnosis and management.

Photosensitivity disorders in children include a wide array of conditions, many of which are unique to this age group. Prompt diagnosis of these disorders becomes difficult at times because of the overlapping clinical pictures. Genodermatoses and metabolic disorders may have associated systemic involvement, which may lead to these children presenting to pediatricians who may overlook the photosensitivity. A dermatologist's consultation is essential in such cases for specific instructions and counseling of parents regarding photoprotection in these children. This intervention may improve the quality of life by reducing the morbidity and chances of early mortality. This review includes a comprehensive discussion of the distinguishing clinical features of childhood photodermatoses along with general guidelines regarding their investigation and treatment.
