Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.2K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.1K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Diphtheria

169
Diphtheria is an acute, toxin-mediated infectious disease that primarily affects the upper respiratory tract. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a Gram-positive, pleomorphic rod that lacks spore-forming capability and exhibits a characteristic club-shaped morphology under microscopic examination. While C. diphtheriae can asymptomatically colonize mucosal surfaces, clinical disease manifests only when the bacterial strain is lysogenized by a specific β-corynephage. This phage...

Viral Hepatitis I: Introduction

18
Viral hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by infection with hepatotropic viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Despite variations in structure and transmission, all viruses mentioned infect hepatocytes and provoke immune responses that can hinder liver function. Additionally, some non-hepatotropic viruses can also lead to hepatic inflammation.Hepatitis A VirusHepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the fecal–oral route, typically by ingestion...

Immunodeficiency Diseases

3.4K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Summary

Hydroa vacciniforme is a rare skin condition causing light-sensitive eruptions and scarring. Recognizing it and its mimics, like lymphoma, is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Photobiology

Background:

  • Hydroa vacciniforme (HV) is a rare photodermatosis.
  • It presents as recurrent vesiculopapular eruptions with characteristic varioliform scarring.
  • The underlying pathogenesis of HV remains largely unknown.

Observation:

  • This case report highlights a patient with Hydroa vacciniforme.
  • The presentation involved a recurrent vesiculopapular eruption.
  • Varioliform scarring was a notable feature.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the diagnostic challenges in differentiating HV from other conditions.
  • Clinical mimickers, including other photodermatoses and lymphoma, were considered.
  • Accurate recognition is essential for appropriate management.
