Summary
Bromoderma, a skin rash from bromide absorption, can appear as acneiform or vegetative lesions. This case highlights bromoderma in an infant due to a calcium bromide syrup, resolving after drug cessation.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Pediatrics
- Toxicology
Background:
- Bromoderma is a recognized adverse drug reaction.
- It results from systemic bromide absorption, often from medications.
- Clinical presentations vary but commonly include acneiform and vegetative lesions.
Observation:
- A case report details an infant presenting with a distinct cutaneous eruption.
- The infant had been administered a syrup containing calcium bromide for abdominal colic.
- The characteristic lesions of bromoderma were observed.
Findings:
- The infant's skin lesions were diagnosed as bromoderma.
- Cessation of the calcium bromide-containing syrup led to the regression of the lesions.
- This confirms the causal link between the medication and the dermatological condition.
Implications:
- This case underscores the importance of considering medication side effects in pediatric dermatology.
- Healthcare providers should be aware of calcium bromide as a potential cause of bromoderma in infants.
- Prompt diagnosis and drug withdrawal are crucial for managing bromoderma effectively.

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...

01:17Pulmonary Cycle: Exhalation
4.3K
In terms of human respiration, the act of expelling air, known as exhalation (or expiration), operates on the principle of pressure gradients. During expiration, the pressure within the lungs exceeds that of the surrounding atmosphere. Under normal conditions, quiet breathing involves passive exhalation and is free of muscular contractions. This is because the exhalation process is driven by the natural elastic recoil of the lungs and chest wall, both of which have an inherent tendency to...

01:21Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands
4.9K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.

01:05Breathing
65.2K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

01:26Directly Acting Muscle Relaxants: Dantrolene and Botulinum Toxin
1.3K
Directly acting muscle relaxants like dantrolene and botulinum toxin (BoNT) have distinct mechanisms and applications. Dantrolene, a hydantoin derivative, acts on the ryanodine receptor (RYR1) in skeletal muscle cells. RYR1 are calcium channels present at the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. In response to excitation, they release calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol. Calcium promotes actin-myosin-mediated contraction of muscles.
The binding of dantrolene to the RYR1...
