“…[245] Several factors have been implicated in PA development such as drugs, anxiety, and abrupt changes in the environmental conditions. [678] Some descriptive data support a probable participation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-α in the pathogenesis of PA.[67] In patients with Crohn's disease treated with TNF-α inhibitors, a stimulation of alternative pro-inflammatory pathways, including up-regulation of the IL-1 family, potential generation of autoreactive T cells, and keratinocyte proliferation, is observed.

Development of pityriasis amiantacea after valproic acid therapy

Here, we present the case of a 16-year-old male who developed pityriasis amiantacea (PA) after the use of valproic acid. We propose that the keratinocyte proliferative activity of valproic acid mediated through the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β, and subsequent activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway could play a role in the development of PA. We additionally review the most relevant characteristics of this disease.

“…Moreover, 12 of 29 cases of psoriasis appeared as pseudotinea amiantacea. This clinical presentation has been variously considered in past years as a manifestation of tinea capitis [ 19 ], Darier's disease [ 20 ], pityriasis rosea [ 21 ], seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis [ 22 ]. In accordance with the current literature [ 22 ], we consider pseudotinea amiantacea as a minimal form of psoriasis; our diagnosis was supported by a positive family history of psoriasis and the presence of minimal psoriasis in typical sites.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological profile of hair and scalp disorders in children referred to the Pediatric Dermatology Outpatient Clinic. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective study of children with hair loss problems or scalp diseases who turned to the Pediatric Dermatology Service, Anna Meyer Pediatric Hospital, Florence, Italy, from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2009. Demographics, personal and familial medical history, laboratory tests, clinical examination, final diagnosis and therapeutic interventions were obtained from the manual chart review. Results: Of the 2,640 children who had access to the Pediatric Dermatology Service, 190 (7.19%) had a hair or scalp disorder. Among the 190 children, 60 (31.57%) presented with nonscarring alopecia, 56 (29.47%) had benign neoplasias, hamartomas or vascular malformations of the scalp, 51 (26.84%) had scalp inflammatory diseases, 14 (7.36%) had scarring alopecia, 5 (2.63%) had infections and 2 (1.05%) had infestation of the scalp. A case of constitutional hypertrichosis (0.52%) and also a case (0.52%) of lamellar ichthyosis were diagnosed. Conclusions: Our results underline that hair and scalp diseases represent an important percentage of admittances to a dermatological pediatric outpatient clinic. The variety and complexity of the diseases observed in this study included diseases commonly found also in adulthood.

Amaç: Pitiriyazis amiantasea (PA) üst üste kiremit tarzı dizilim gösteren, saç ve saçlı deriye yapışık, kalın, gümüş rengi skuamlarla karakterize bir tablodur. Sebebi bilinmemekle birlikte, çeşitli inflamatuar durumlara karşı saçlı derinin bir reaksiyonu olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada; kliniğimizde rastladığımız PA'lı hastaların kayıtlarını inceleyerek hastalığın klinik özellikleri, eşlik eden hastalıkları, etyopatogenezde rol oynayabilecek bakteriyel ve süperfisiyel fungal ajanları ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda PA'nın literatürde bildirilen örneklere benzer olarak en sık seboreik dermatit ve psöriyazis vulgaris ile ilişkili olduğu saptandı. Ancak, terapötik yaklaşımı etkileyeceği için yüzeyel fungal ve bakteriyel enfeksiyonların da etyopatogenezde rol oynayabileceği unutulmamalıdır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Skalp dermatozları, psöriyazis, seboreik dermatit, tinea kapitis, staphylococcus aureus, pitiriyazis amiantasea Objective: Pityriasis amiantacea (PA) is characterized by thick, silvery, adherent scales, which surround the base of scalp hair. The exact cause of PA is unclear and it is claimed to be a reaction pattern of the scalp to various inflammatory scalp conditions. In this study, we intended to describe the clinical features, to search the microbiologic etiology and to evaluate the associated diseases.
