We performed a retrospective chart review for all cases of recurrent Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) from March 2013 to March 2016. Nine children had 29 episodes of SJS or incomplete SJS; all children were male and 8 (88%) were white. Episodes affected mucus membranes with minimal skin involvement. Mycoplasma infections and HLA-B27/-B51 were common.

Trichodysplasia spinulosa is a rare folliculocentric polyomavirus infection observed in the setting of immunosuppression. We report a 7-year-old boy with pre-B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia who presented with folliculocentric spiny papules on the face. Histologic evaluation revealed hypertrophic bulbs, an expanded inner root sheath, and numerous brightly eosinophilic trichohyalin granules. We present this case to raise awareness of this rare but recognizable entity and to highlight the availability of appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.

Background/Objectives We evaluated the acceptance of synchronous (live video) telehealth for pediatric dermatology. Methods This was a prospective, single‐center study of patient and dermatologist surveys paired at the encounter level for telehealth encounters with Children's Hospital Colorado Pediatric Dermatology Clinic between 21 April 2020 and 22 May 2020. Results Dermatologists were most receptive to a telehealth encounter for isotretinoin monitoring (96.6%) and non‐isotretinoin acne (89.5%). In contrast, 71.8% and 58.8% of patients surveyed were open to telehealth for isotretinoin encounters and non‐isotretinoin acne encounters, respectively. There was no significant correlation between patient and dermatologist satisfaction regarding a telehealth encounter (r = 0.09, CI [−0.09, 0.26], p = .34) or between patient and dermatologist preference for telehealth encounter (r = 0.07, CI [−0.11, 0.25] p = .46). Dermatologists reported needing a photo to aid their physical examination in 38/363 (10.7%) of encounters and preferred in‐person examinations when an encounter would have benefitted from laboratories, procedures, dermatoscopic examination, examination by palpation, and accurate weights in infants. Conclusions Synchronous, live‐video telehealth is an effective method of healthcare delivery in certain situations for pediatric dermatology, but it does not replace in‐person encounters. Families and dermatologists have different perceptions about its acceptance.
