Scabies mimicking mastocytosis in two infants.

Scabies is a common parasitic human infection in infants and children. However, diagnostic pitfalls are frequent in infants, in whom the clinical presentation is usually atypical and different from that in adults. In nodular scabies, lesions may be clinically or histologically misdiagnosed as Langerhans cell histiocytosis, insect bite reaction, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, lymphoma, or ur...

Investigation of TEL/AML1 and BCR/ABL Fusion Genes in Patients Affected by Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Using Interphase in situ Hybridization

Bone lesions of urticaria pigmentosa in childhood.

Urticaria pigmentosa is a dermatosis characterized clinically by areas of pigmented skin which show marked urtication when a stimulus such as a scratch or a pinprick is applied. Initially they occur as pink urticarial lesions, but instead of fading they persist as oval or round, light or dark brown macules or, less commonly, papules or nodules. Histologically, the skin lesions show an increased...

Gene variants of CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; outcome of a case control study from Kashmir, India

Studies on associations of various polymorphisms in xenobiotic metabolizing genes with different cancers including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are mixed and inconclusive. The current study analyzed the relationship between polymorphisms of phase I xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, cytochromes P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and CYP2D6 and childhood ALL in Kashmir, India. We recruited 200 confirmed ALL...
