The Rare Presentation of Deep Dermatophytosis‐Trichophyton in an Immunosuppressed Patient

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dermatophytes typically cause superficial skin infections characterized by an active border. However, they can present atypically invading deeper in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of a 72‐year‐old woman with bullous pemphigoid who had received oral prednisolone for 3 months and developed umbilicated papules.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

A Retrospective Analysis Into the Effect of Punch Grafts in Patients With Chronic Ulcers of the Lower Leg

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Punch grafting was retrospectively evaluated in patients with chronic lower leg ulcers treated at Erasmus MC between 2018 and 2023. Median pain scores significantly decreased after 6 weeks. Opioid use declined and 30% of patients no longer required analgesics. Complete wound closure was achieved in 7% of cases.

The use of biatain Ag in hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers: meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Venous leg ulcers are common, troublesome, and their failure to heal is often related to a heavy bio-burden. Ionized silver has both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Atypical Wounds in Chronic Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease and Peripheral Arterial Disease Caused by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The term “atypical wounds” primarily refers to lesions with immunological or cancerous etiologies. However, these wounds can also be drug‐induced. We report about a 32‐year‐old man with a 6‐year history of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (cGvHD) following an HLA‐compatible allogeneic stem cell ...

Applicability of Novel Laser Scanning Microscopy Techniques in Demonstrating Characteristic Features of Porokeratosis: In Vivo and Ex Vivo Investigation

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Porokeratoses represent a group of keratinization disorders characterized histopathologically by the presence of a cornoid lamella. The recognition of porokeratosis as a genodermatosis, along with its association with increased risk of skin cancer, underscores the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis.
