[Keratosis pilaris and keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei].

Keratosis pilaris and ulerythema ophryogenes (keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei) are hereditary disorders with altered follicular keratinization that show follicular, horny papules surrounded by an erythematous halo. Ulerythema ophryogenes is an uncommon variant of keratosis pilaris characterized by erythematous follicular papules of the eyebrows and cheeks followed by a gradual loss of hair. On the background of 15-year-old boy who presented with keratosis pilaris and ulerythema ophryogenes, we discuss the various clinical manifestations of keratosis pilaris.

Rosacea: an update.

Rosacea is a common chronic cutaneous disorder of unknown etiology which occurs most commonly in middle-aged individuals. Cutaneous manifestations include transient or persistent facial erythema, telangiectasia, edema, papules and pustules that are usually confined to the central portion of the face. The National Rosacea Society's Expert Committee on the Classification and Staging of Rosacea identified four subtypes of rosacea: erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous and ocular. Recently, a standard grading system for assessing gradations of the severity of rosacea has been reported. Little is known about the cause of rosacea. Genetic, environmental, vascular, inflammatory factors and microorganisms such as Demodex folliculorum and Helicobacter pylori have been considered. Topical metronidazole and azelaic acid have been demonstrated to be effective treatments for rosacea. Severer or persistent cases may be treated with oral metronidazole, tetracyclines or isotretinoin.

Cutaneous larva migrans associated with Löffler's syndrome.

We describe a patient who was admitted to hospital after returning from a holiday in Thailand with coronary artery disease and ventricular tachycardia. As an incidental finding, the routine chest radiography showed migratory pulmonary infiltrates. A peripheral blood smear showed eosinophilia. Physical examination revealed multiple, slightly raised, erythematous, serpentine tracks on the buttocks. A clinical diagnosis of larva migrans was made, and the patient was treated with oral albendazole 400 mg on 5 consecutive days and a single dose of oral praziquantel 3600 mg. By the end of treatment, most of the cutaneous lesions, the pulmonary infiltrates and the peripheral eosinophilia had resolved. The final diagnosis was larva migrans associated with Löffler's syndrome.
