“…[ 1 2 3 4 ] To the best of our knowledge, ocular examination (through dermoscope) has not been described in these cases, while dermoscopy of lichen scrofulosorum have been described in 2 cases only. [ 5 ] Our case is demonstrating this rare association along with their dermoscopy and ocular findings.…”

“…had reported pale round monomorphic grouped perifollicular large dots with central black follicular opening topped with a crust and marginal rim of fine white scaling and marginal hyperpigmentation (in one of the case) as dermoscopic findings of lichen scrofulosorum; however, we noticed follicular as well as extrafollicular lesions with central cluster of brown clods (instead of black follicular opening) and telangiectasia in addition to their findings. [ 5 ] Ocular findings of PKC on dermoscopy require further validation by more studies.…”

Dermoscopy has been showed to facilitate the non-invasive recognition of several infectious disorders (infectiouscopy) thanks to the detection of peculiar clues. Although most of the knowledge on this topic comes from studies involving light-skinned patients, there is growing evidence about its use also in dark phototypes. This systematic literature review summarizes published data on dermoscopy of parasitic, bacterial, viral and fungal dermatoses (dermoscopic findings, used setting, pathological correlation, and level of evidence of studies) and provides a homogeneous terminology of reported dermoscopic features according to a standardized methodology. A total of 66 papers addressing 41 different dermatoses (14 bacterial, 5 viral, 11 fungal infections, and 11 parasitoses/bites and stings) and involving a total of 1096 instances were included in the analysis. The majority of them displayed a level of evidence of V (44 single case reports and 21 case series), with only 1 study showing a level of evidence of IV (case-control analysis). Moreover, our analysis also highlighted a high variability in the terminology used in the retrieved studies. Thus, although promising, further studies designed according to a systematic and standardized approach are needed for better characterization of dermoscopy of infectious skin infections.

“… Dermoscopy: Dermoscopy of two pediatric cases of lichen scrofulosorum showed pale round monomorphic grouped perifollicular dots with a central brown follicular plug and marginal rim of fine white scaling [ Figure 5 ]. [ 78 ] More studies are needed to document the dermoscopic features of various types of tuberculids and whether this tool can be used in accurately differentiating tuberculids from other conditions. Histopathology: Table 3 describes the histopathological features of each type which are characteristic and help in differentiating it from other conditions.…”

Tuberculids are a group of dermatoses with tuberculoid histology and the absence of tubercle bacilli. They are considered to be hypersensitivity reactions to circulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) or its antigens in individuals with good immunity. The objective of the review is to provide a detailed literature review of all available articles on tuberculids in the past 10 years and provide an update on epidemiology, etiopathogenetic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and treatment. A search was performed on PubMed using the keywords lichen scrofulosorum, papulonecrotic tuberculid, erythema induratum, and erythema nodosum tuberculosis for all articles, with no restrictions on age, gender, or nationalities. An update on tuberculids, including some new concepts in pathogenesis, atypical presentations, new investigative modalities, and treatments are reviewed.
