Question
Answer
chronic skin disorder associated with celiac disease   dermatitis herpetiformis  
🗑
physiology of dermatitis herpetiformis   IgA deposits in the skin, these are antibodies made in response to glutens  
🗑
Symmetric, pruritic erythematous papules/plaques studded with vesicles (on extensor surfaces of elbows / knees; buttocks, scapular areas, scalp) =   dermatitis herpetiformis  
🗑
physiology of dermatitis herpetiformis   IgA deposits in the skin; Ab response to glutens; assoc w/ celiac dz  
🗑
dermatitis herpetiformis classic lesions   erythematous papules/plaques w/vesicles (usu on extensor of elbows, knees, buttocks, scapula, scalp); symmetric and intensely pruritic  
🗑
Pitting edema (dependant, improves overnight), varicose veins, stasis dermatitis, hyperpigmentation (mottled blue, purple), skin fibrosis, venous ulcers =   venous insufficiency  
🗑
Occurs on lower legs, ankles (+/- pitting edema). Erythematous papules, scale, erosions, excoriations =   stasis dermatitis  
🗑
often mistaken for cellulitis   stasis dermatitis  
🗑
treatment for stasis dermatitis   compression, oral antibiotics, topical steroids  
🗑
1/3 of patients with venous insufficiency will develop __   venous ulcers  
🗑
venous ulcers are usually located __   above medial malleolus  
🗑
venous ulcers classic lesions   Assoc w/venous insuff; v painful, well demarcated, irreg shape, begin as a shallow erosion but can become deep (base often necrotic)  
🗑
__ is always present with venous ulcers   bacterial superinfection  
🗑
chronic multisystem granulomatous disease (more common in AA females)   sarcoidosis  
🗑
with sarcoidosis skin involvement occures in __% of patients   25  
🗑
most common lesions of sarcoidosis   macules/papules-brown yellow or purple, occur mostly on face, extremities  
🗑
lesions of sarcoidosis   macules/papules-brown, yellow, or purple (face, extremities), nodules (brown purple, occur on face/trunk/extremities), plaques (annular or serpiginous, may be scaly. occur on buttocks/trunk/extremties) lupus pernio  
🗑
classic sarcoid lesion, infiltrating violaceous plaque, occurs on nose, cheeks, ears, lips   lupus pernio  
🗑
lesions tend to occur on old scars (tattoos)   sarcoid  
🗑
3rd most common form of drug reaction (often 2/2 PCN, sulfonamide, phenobarbital, hydantoins) =   erythema multiforme  
🗑
mild erythema multiforme   no bullae, lesions on upper extremities, face  
🗑
major/severe erythema multiforme   one or more mucous membranes involved, epidermal detachment of <10% of total body surface area  
🗑
erythema multiforme classic lesions   Macule => papule with vesicle or bulla in center [target (or iris) lesion]; on hands, forearms, feet, face, usually symmetric  
🗑
treatment for mild erythema multiforme   symptomatic analgesics, topical steroids  
🗑
treatment for major erythema multiforme   often associated with drugs. discontinue the offending agent  
🗑
erythema multiforme etiology   drugs (PCN, sulfonamides, phenytoin, allopurinol); infxn (HSV, mycoplasma); 50% idiopathic  
🗑
considered dermatologic emergencies   Steven-Jonhnson Syndrome, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis  
🗑
Widespread bullae on trunk, face, and mucous membrane; involvement with epidermal detachments =   Steven-Jonhnson Syndrome, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis  
🗑
treatment for Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis   medical emergency, monitor fluid/electrolytes, systemic steroids  
🗑
Drug hypersensitivity classifications   I: IgE mediated urticaria (2nd most common). II: cytotoxic rxn (cell lysis). III: vasculitis & serum sickness (immune complex in small vessels). IV: morbiliform rxn (most common)  
🗑
SJS/TEN Sx/Sx:   fever, photophobia, ST, mucosal inflammation; progress in 4 days: erythema, morbiliform lesions, necrotic epidermis & sheetlike loss; Nikolsky sx; poss ATN/ bronchitis  
🗑
Procainamide, hydralazine & rash   Lupus-type eruptions  
🗑
Photosensitive rash may be due to which drugs:   TCN, Sulfa drugs  
🗑
Drug sensitivity reactions: clinical features & timing:   Most common: examtematous / morbilliform rashes, red maculopapular often coalescing into plaques in 2-3 days post-exposure. Urticaria 2nd most common & resolve in 24h after med is stopped  
🗑
Characteristic lesion of erythema multiforme is:   macule -> papule with vesicle or bulla in center (target (or iris) lesion), on hands, forearms, feet, face, usually symmetric  
🗑
HSV presentation:   24h prodrome (itching, burning); painful vesicles on erythematous base  
🗑
HSV tx   Acyclocir 5% ointment (6x/day x7d) vs pencyclovir cream 1% Q2h. Extensive genital erosions: silver nitrate vs burrow's  
🗑
Varicella zoster tx   Antivirals (acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir; foscarnet for resistant VZV)  
🗑
