A 23-year-old man developed cellulitis and ascending lymphangitis of the right leg. Blood cultures and skin saline aspirates were sterile. Gram stain of the aspirate did not show any bacteria. Direct and indirect immunofluorescent staining with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to Streptococcus pyogenes revealed streptococci in the reticular dermis. The cellulitis resolved following treatment with intravenous cefazoline.
We report two patients with epidermal nevus: one with linear verrucous nevus and one with inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus. The patients first showed manifestations of nevus at different ages (soon after birth and at the age of seven), and the findings progressed differently. In both cases, warty plaques were located unilaterally, strictly following Blaschko's lines.
Two patients with Sweet's syndrome are described. In the first patient the disorder was associated with urinary stone disease and in the second with chronic hepatitis. We compared skin lesions in patients with kidney and liver diseases with those in Sweet's syndrome. In both patients all skin manifestations disappeared when the underlying disorders were treated. No corticosteroids were used.
