Inmunohistochemical detection of mastocytes in tissue from patients with actinic prurigo
2015
Background: Actinic prurigo (AP) is a type of photodermatosis, the pathophysiology of which has not been determined. AP has been suggested to be a hypersensitivity reaction to the presence of eosinophils and the local production of IgE. Material and Methods: Descriptive study, using paraffin blocks of tissue that have been diagnosed with AP from the Dermopathology department, Hospital General Dr. Manuel Gea González. In 66 blocks from 63 patients, eosinophils were identified by hematoxylin and eosin staining, and mastocytes were labeled by immunohistochemistry. Three random microphotographs (40x) were used, and cell counts were calculated as the mean count in the 3 microphotographs. Results…
OCCUPATIONAL DERMOPATHIES AND JUDGMENT OF SUITABILITY
2022
Occupational dermatosis is defined as a skin pathology expressed as a result of factors mainly associated with the work environment. Given the considerable heterogeneity of skin pathologies that are possible in the work environment, it was decided not to use the term dermatitis but dermatosis, which is generic but more appropriate for such pathological conditions. Many occupational activities can lead to skin diseases, especially when the exposure is very intense, such as the construction industry, the metal industry, the chemical industry, etc. In many developed countries, including the countries of the European Union, occupational skin diseases are the second most common occupational dise…
Diagnosis and novel clinical treatment strategies for pyoderma gangrenosum
2019
Introduction: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a noninfectious, reactive inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis that is commonly associated with autoimmune and neoplastic disorders. There are emerging diagnostic tools and treatment options for PG.Area covered: The diagnosis of PG should be seriously considered when managing ulcers to avoid unnecessary medical and surgical complications with prompt and suitable treatment. There are no standardized treatment guidelines for PG, and current therapy largely depends on the severity and progression of the disease. Systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressant therapy, and biologic agents remain mainstay therapies. In this article, we present a literature …

Patologia Cutanea HCV correlata
2005
Questo review sintetizza le ormai ben note associazioni tra virus dell’epatite C (HCV) ed alcune dermatosi. Data l’opportunità di un valido trattamento per le infezioni da HCV, spesso asintomatiche, il medico deve tenere sempre presente che particolari manifestazioni cutanee possono essere la spia di infezioni da virus dell’epatite C fino a quel momento non diagnosticate e pertanto, ove necessario, procedere all’esecuzione di appropriati test di screening.
Ketoprofen photodermatosis
2013
Background and aim of the study: The aim of the following review is that of stimulating and highlighting the importance of pharmacovigilance, examining all the data about ketaprofen (a well known NSAD) photodermatosis cases reported in literature, especially those occurred in patients under topical therapy that have been revealed to be adverse reactions. Materials and methods: Analysed data concern studies carried out from 1991 to 2011 among different European countries, in particular at the Swedish University of Lund, Katholieke University of Leuven in Belgium, and in France. All the data arrived through the Italian national pharmacovigilance network. Results: Evidences show that the basic…
Sweet's syndrome induced by removable partial denture using a CoCr alloy: case report.
2010
Sweet's syndrome is an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by fever, neutrophilia and erythematous skin lesions. This disease typically occurs as a reactive event in response to infective, inflammatory or neoplastic processes. The aim of this work was to describe a rare case of Sweet's syndrome induced by dental removable partial denture using a CoCr alloy.

Jejunoileal bypass as the main procedure in the onset of immune-related conditions: the model of BADAS
2013
Bariatric surgery represents a common approach for the control of severe morbid obesity, reducing caloric intake by modifying the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract. Following jejunoileal bypass, a large spectrum of complications has been described, with rheumatic manifestation present in up to 20% of cases. Although bowel bypass syndrome, also called blind loop syndrome, is a well-recognized complication of jejunoileal bypass, the same syndrome was recognized in patients who had not had intestinal bypass surgery, and the term the 'bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome' (BADAS) was coined. The pathogenesis of BADAS is as yet poorly understood and only few data concerning this is…
