Background:
Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome (GCS) is a characteristic cutaneous eruption following a viral infection. Incidence peaks in early childhood and the syndrome rarely occurs in adulthood. Hepatitis associated with GCS is usually anicteric and acute form.
Aim:
To report an adult with GCS associated with HBV infection and presenting icteric progress.
Methods:
The clinical features of the GCS case associated with HBV infection were evaluated.
Result:
The cutaneous lesions disappeared completely on the 61st day and clearance for HBsAg was also observed.
Conclusion:
GCS may be seen in adults and may be associated with icteric HBV infection.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
