Benign gonococcal arthritis with cutaneous lesions.

Benign gonococcal sepsis with skin lesions.

(a) Severe prostration occurs with a high fever, and symptoms of widespread disease. The heart, meninges, kidneys, pleurae, liver, and skin may be involved. This type of sepsis has a grave prognosis and before the sulphonamide-antibiotic era 80 to 90 per cent. of patients with endocarditis died (Burckhardt, 1964). (b) The patients are febrile but not severely ill, joint and skin symptoms domina...

Gonococcal arthritis (disseminated gonococcal infection).

Septic arthritis caused by N gonorrhoeae is monoarticular or pauciarticular, and is more commonly associated with positive synovial fluid cultures and negative blood cultures. Gonococcal bacteremia is more likely to be associated with polyarthralgias and skin lesions. The diagnosis of gonococcal arthritis or DGI is also secure if a mucosal gonococcal infection is documented in the presence of a...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease with different extra-articular manifestations. Among those extra-articular manifestations, there are significant cutaneous manifestations which may result in first admission to a dermatologist. In this article some specific and non-specific skin lesions of RA such as rheumatoid nodules, exacerbated nodules, rheumatoid vascu...

27.12 MHz Radiofrequency Ablation for Benign Cutaneous Lesions

As surgical and/or ablative modalities, radiofrequency (RF) has been known to produce good clinical outcomes in dermatology. Recently, 27.12 MHz RF has been introduced and has several advantages over conventional 4 or 6 MHz in terms of the precise ablation and lesser pain perception. We aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 27.12 MHz RF for the treatment of benign cutaneous lesi...
