Acrodermatitis enteropathica in a full-term breast-fed infant.

Acrodermatitis enteropathica which is a manifestation of zinc deficiency, is rarely seen in breast-fed infants. A child with typical acral rash, zinc deficiency and low breast milk zinc levels is described. The importance of awareness of this entity in breast-fed infants along with differential diagnosis is being emphasized.

Co-existence of variants of porokeratosis: a case report and a review of the literature.

Rarely, different variants of porokeratosis may coexist in an individual patient or their family members. A patient with the linear form of porokeratosis present since birth subsequently developed the disseminated superficial actinic form at a later age. A review of the literature pertaining to the coexistence of variants of porokeratosis suggests a significant association between the linear and disseminated superficial actinic forms. Genetic linkage between different variants and the basis for their association is discussed.

Severe angioedema induced by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors: role of precipitating factors.

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors like captopril, enalapril, lisinopril, trandopril and ramipril may rarely induce a life threatening angioedema. We present two cases of severe angioedema induced by enalapril and ramipril along with possible precipitating factors observed in these patients. The importance of prompt recognition and early management of such cases is emphasized.

Erythema annulare centrifugum following pancreatico-biliary surgery.

Annular erythemas are distinct cutaneous eruptions associated with a variety of causes. Occurrence of erythema annulare centrifugum, a variant of annular erythemas, in the immediate post-operative period in a patient with surgical intervention in the gall bladder and pancreas region is being described for the first time. Its probable association with surgical trauma is discussed.

Squamous cell carcinoma in long-standing untreated lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the penis.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is an uncommon disease of skin and genital mucosa in both sexes. Involvement of the male genital mucosa is usually complicated by recurrent balanoposthitis, ulceration, phimosis, and meatal stenosis. The development of a squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare in genital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus in males as compared with females. We report a 70-year-old male with a squamous cell carcinoma of the glans superimposed on long-standing lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of glans and prepuce. The patient in addition had a basal cell carcinoma on his face. Awareness of this rare complication of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus in males is emphasized.

Human bite-induced penile ulceration: report of a case and review of literature.

Human bite on genitalia is a rare cause of penile ulceration, but is increasingly being reported, probably due to the increasing frequency of orogenital sex. The great morbidity associated with it brings it under the category of high-risk bite wounds, similar to those on hands, feet and joints. We report a case and review the literature on human bite-induced penile ulceration.

Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome.

Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome is an acute, life-threatening, idiosyncratic drug reaction seen with the aromatic antiepileptic drugs, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and primidone, with frequent cross sensitivity. It usually occurs 2-8 weeks after initiation of therapy and the hallmark clinical features are fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy. Hematologic abnormalities such as eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytes, and internal organ involvement also occur with varying severity. A case of hypersensitivity syndrome due to carbamazepine with cross sensitivity to phenytoin is reported. It is emphasized that this serious drug reaction with diverse clinical presentations should be recognized and treated promptly.

Lichen scrofulosorum: a rare manifestation of a common disease.

Tuberculids develop as hypersensitive immunologic reactions in the skin to an occult internal focus of tuberculosis. These eruptive lesions are due to hematogenous dissemination of bacilli in a host with a high degree of immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although rare, these specific lesions are important diagnostic markers of tuberculosis. Lichen scrofulosorum is one of the recognized tuberculids, usually seen in children and young adults. We report three children with lichen scrofulosorum; in two children it developed during treatment of tuberculosis. The appearance of lichen scrofulosorum after initiation of treatment due to a probable increase in cell-mediated immunity is emphasized.
