Erysipelas is an acute non-necrotizing bacterial dermohypodermatitis (DHD), most often (85%) affecting the lower limbs. The occurrence of dermohypodermatitis during pregnancy may jeopardize the maternal–fetal prognosis because of its severity and the obstetric complications. Early management and multidisciplinary follow-up may reduce the complications of these bacterial infections during pregnancy. Several risk factors are implicated in the risk of the occurrence of DHB. They are often encountered during pregnancy, such as lymphoedema, venous insufficiency, and varicose veins, which may explain the topography of the lesions in the lower limbs. In addition, pregnancy represents an additional risk factor due to the impairment of the immune system. Herein, we present the case of DHD in an unusual location in a pregnant female. Key words: Dermohypodermatitis; Abdomen; Pregnancy
Hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans is caused by the intradermal migration of soil-dwelling filariform larvae of dog and cat hookworms, most commonly Ancylostoma, usually develop itchy skin lesions, usually consisting of migrating superficial serpiginous traces, or sometimes stationary follicular eruptions. The plantar topography or on the regions of the body in contact with the sand of the beaches of the Antilles, West Africa and East Asia, the presence of fine and not very mobile serpiginous furrows and eczematization with vesiculobullous eruption, are characteristic. There are misleading profuse forms such as pseudo-folliculitis. We present a Moroccan patient who developed the disease after their return from and who responded well to treatment with albendazole.
Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign skin condition, presenting as disseminated umbilical yellowish-pink papules, usually on the face. Histologically, each lesion consists of a large multilobed sebaceous gland whose acini confluence in a central collector that corresponds to the clinical umbilication The condition may occur sporadically as a result of chronological aging and photoaging, in a familial form or as a manifestation of Muir-Torre syndrome. Also, more and more cases of eruptive multiple sebaceous hyperplasia secondary to cyclosporine have been described of which we describe an exceptional case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
