background: in this study the level of il-23 and il-27 produced by macrophages derived from peri­pheral blood mononuclear cell culture collected from patients with healing or non-healing form of cutane­ous leishmaniasis lesion were compared before and after treatment with live leishmania to explore whether il-23 or il-27 plays any role in healing process of cutaneous lesions induced by l. major...

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a systemic non-infectious granulomatous disorder which exhibits various specific and non-specific cutaneous manifestations. Erythema nodosum-like eruption is a rare specific lesion associated with sarcoidosis, which histologically shows noncaseating epithelioid granuloma. It is suggested that this type is frequently associated with ocular sarcoidosis. Main observati...

Maculopapular or morbilliform eruptions may be the most common of all cutaneous drug reactions. It is also known that cutaneous drug reactions present the specific morphological patterns. (Figs. 10.1-1 and 10.1-2). In diagnosing skin diseases, it is essential to consider drugs as a possible cause of any eruption, because drug eruptions can take the form of any skin lesion. Drug eruptions may be...

Cutaneous metastases may be the first sign of clinically silent visceral cancer. Approximately 30% of patients with primary renal cell carcinoma present with metastatic disease, and only 8% of them have skin metastases. We present the case of a 59-year-old male patient with a subcutaneous nodular on the upper chest extending to the jugular region. The lesion appeared skin colored and was not pa...

Bangladesh is non endemic for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL). Rarely, we come across such cases in workers returning from Middle east particularly Saudi Arabia. Recently found and managed a case of cutaneous leishmaniasis 37 year old male Arabia with lesion behind his left ankle joint. Although Sodium Stibogluconate the first choice drug to treat CL, it not available Bangladesh. He was successful...

Locomotion involves dynamic interactions between the spinal cord, supraspinal signals, and peripheral sensory inputs. After incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), interactions are disrupted, and remnant structures must optimize function to maximize locomotion. We investigated if cutaneous reflexes are altered following a unilateral partial spinal lesion and whether changes are retained within spi...

Cutaneous reactions associated with interferons (IFNs) treatment are either localized or generalized. The most common presentation of localized reactions at IFNs injection site is usually an erythematous patch or plaque. Local leukocytoclastic vasculitis presenting with cutaneous necrosis is extremely rare. We report a 19-year-old man with hepatitis B who had local leukocytoclastic vasculitis i...

Objective: To determine the total number of notified cases, new cases and recurrence American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL), to investigate association between HIV coinfection presence cutaneous lesion, as well assess concordance two different laboratorial procedures: parasitological histopathological in this region. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The research used data from Inform...

Background: Mycobacterium marinum infection has a worldwide distribution and the organism occupies many aquatic environments. Infections in human consist of nodular cutaneous lesions that can progress to tenosynovitis, arthritis, and osteomyelitis. Case presentation: A 27-year-old man was presented with a history of swelling and exudative erythematous lesions and pustules of the right forearm. ...
