CADRs were more common in women and most of them were caused by antimicrobial agents followed by NSAIDs and anticonvulsants. Latency period of anticonvulsants were longer than the other groups.

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED; Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) is a genetic disorder characterized by sparse hair, oligodontia with peg-shaped teeth, reduced sweating, and defects in a number of other ectodermal organs. A partial or complete absence of eccrine glands can lead to recurrent severe overheating that may cause seizures and neurological deficits. This clinical report presents a 14-year-old male patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, including the clinical and radiographic findings, and multidisciplinary treatment. The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL) was administered to patient along with mother to assess for any psychiatric disorders. The screening and rating scales completed by mother and two teachers to evaluate the severity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, and other behavioral problems. Patient's academic performance, adaptive functioning, and problem behavior was evaluated using. The Teacher Report Form. Mental capacity was assessed with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R). Illness Perception Questionnaire Revised was used to systematically assess illness representation attributes and emotional representations of illness. On the psychiatric diagnosis assessment using K-SADS-PL sub-threshold attention deficits and anxiety symptoms were determined. In this case we established a multidisciplinary approach in his treatment with pediatric, dermatological, and dental examinations, beside his psychiatric evaluation. The prosthetic rehabilitation included restoring upper teeth with copings and fabrication of upper and lower complete dentures. Metal framework was not incorporated in the partial denture design allowing modifications as the oral and maxillofacial development continued. Removable complete or partial dentures without metal framework is a treatment of choice until the completion of facial growth at which definitive treatment is considered.

Background and Design:Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory disease that occurs with polygenic and other triggering factors. The association of psoriasis, which is considered to be a systemic disease, with other diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, hepatosteatosis, obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia has been shown. Materials and Methods:In this study, we compared the levels of fasting blood glucose, serum lipid (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride), basal insulin, insulin resistance and body mass index as well as cigarette and alcohol consumption in 50 adult patients with those in 50 age-and gender-matched non-psoriatic controls. Results: In our study, metabolic syndrome was present in 62% patients with psoriasis, compared with 24% of the controls (p<0,001). In psoriatic patients with metabolic syndrome PASI median value was 13,6, whereas patients without metabolic syndrome PASI median value was 11,2 and the difference was statistically significant (p<0,001). Conclusion: In our study, the frequency of metabolic syndrome and its components diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were found to be higher in patients with psoriasis compared to that in non-psoriatic controls.

ÖzetVulvar sikatrisyel pemfigoid, büllöz pemfigoidin çocukluk çağında görülen, izole ve lokalize vulvar tutulumla karakterize nadir bir varyantıdır. Sum maryVulvar cicatricial pemphigoid is a rare variant of bullous pemphigoid, which is characterized by isolated and localized vulvar involvement, observed in childhood. The typical clinical finding is erosive lesions of the vulva healing with scar formation. Ocular involvement may be associated with vulvar disease or may develop during the follow-up. On histopathologic examination of the lesions, subepidermal blister and on direct immunofluorescence study, linear deposition of Ig G and C3 are observed. The differential diagnosis includes lichen sclerosus and, sexual abuse should be considered at first. Topical and systemic steroids and dapsone are the main treatment options. Ophthalmological examination and follow-up should be repeated on every six months for ocular involvement. Here, we report development of vulvar cicatricial pemphigoid in an 11-year-old girl with clinical and histopathological findings. (Turkderm 2014; 48: 51-3)
