Summary
Disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis is a rare skin condition presenting as papules and pustules. A specific neck crease pattern may aid in early diagnosis of this rare follicular disease.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Histopathology
Background:
- Disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis is a rare follicular disorder.
- Limited case reports exist, particularly in the Indian population.
Observation:
- Three patients (1 female, 2 males; aged 18-45) presented with skin-colored papules and pustules on the neck and upper chest.
- Lesions persisted for 2-8 months.
- A distinct pattern of lesions along neck skin creases was noted.
Findings:
- Histopathology revealed mononuclear cell infiltrate centered on the hair follicle's infundibulum.
- Diagnosis of disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis was confirmed.
Implications:
- This case highlights the rarity of the condition in India.
- The specific pattern along neck creases may improve diagnostic suspicion and aid in early identification.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a chronic infection of the heart's endocardium, primarily affecting the heart valves. A detailed nursing assessment for a patient with IE involves collecting subjective and objective data to ensure an accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.Subjective DataThe nurse gathers information about the patient's symptoms and complaints during the subjective assessment. Patients with infective endocarditis often report non-specific symptoms that can mimic other...

In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs...

The pathophysiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) encompasses several progressive stages, beginning with bacterial colonization and culminating in potential systemic complications if untreated. UTIs are primarily initiated by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which often originate from the gastrointestinal tract and migrate to the urinary system through the periurethral area. This migration can occur via several routes, including improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or...

A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...
