BackgroundCondyloma acuminata are soft, skin colored, fleshy warts that are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The disease is highly contagious, can appear singly or in groups, small or large. The incubation period may be from 1–6 months. Although anogenital warts are considered to be sexually transmitted in adults, this may not be the case for children. Genital warts in children may result from several modes of transmission: from the maternal genital tract autoinoculation, from finger warts and nonsexual transmission from members/careers.Case presentationThe presented case is a 13-month-old girl. She was hospitalized at the Clinic of Dermatovenerology in 2001 due to papillomatosis changes on the genital area. The changes had started to appear in the sixth month of life, light purple in color, smooth and combined in a tumorous mass, in the vulva and anal areas.ConclusionFrom this case we can come to the conclusion that condyloma acuminate are not only transmitted sexually but through nonsexual ways as well, such is this case, from the infected mother to the infant. Laser therapy is preferred when multiple warts are spread over a large area as though in our case.
INTRODUCTION:Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a dermatitis caused by hookworm larvae inoculation in the skin, most commonly acquired among individuals in tropical and sub-tropical areas or travelers who have visited those areas. The typical clinical presentation consists of itchy serpiginous lesion that advances.CASE REPORT:We are reporting a long time misdiagnosed case of a 37-year-old farmer from continental European region with a typical clinical presentation, and no history of traveling to endemic areas. We made the diagnosis of the CLM based on the patient’s history of itchy skin that had advanced for a few months, and clinical characteristics of the lesion in the right gluteus region consisting of erythema, papula and vesicles, together with erythematous/livid serpiginous tracks that formed an irregular and capricious path. The patient was successfully treated with oral mebendazole twice daily for three days and local therapy.
INTRODUCTION:Tinea corporis (B35.6) caused by Microsporum canis which is fungal species that causes numerous forms of disease. It is part of a group of fungi known as Dermatophytes. Though mostly well known for ringworm in pets, it is also known to infect humans. This fact makes this pathogen both anthrophilic and zoophilic in nature. Microsporum canis is a communicable pathogen.Case report:We will report about a case, 22-year-old female, residing in a village, with typical changes of a mycotic infection caused by M. Canis. Dermatological description can be summarized with polymorphic erythematous, papulosquamous changes, erosions mainly on genital organ and spread to the thighs and lower abdomen which are accompanied with itching and burning. Diagnosis B35.6 was determined on the basis of clinical appearance complemented with anamnesis, microscopic examination and culture. The patient was treated successfully with general and local antimycotics and antibiotics.
