Summary
Dermatological issues are common in neurology inpatients, with drug eruptions in wards and physical dermatoses in neurological intensive care units (NICUs). Neurologists should monitor for these skin conditions alongside neurological diseases.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Neurology
- Internal Medicine
Background:
- Limited understanding of dermatological conditions in neurology inpatients.
- Need to characterize skin problems in neurology wards and neurological intensive care units (NICUs).
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients admitted to neurology wards or NICUs.
- To identify common dermatological problems in this patient population.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective observational study.
- Review of medical records for patients consulting dermatology from January 2016 to June 2022.
- Data collection on demographic and clinical characteristics.
Main Results:
- 106 patients included: 86 in ward, 20 in NICU.
- Most common hospitalizations: ischemic stroke, demyelinating diseases, encephalitis.
- Frequent dermatoses: infectious (25), drug eruptions (18), physical (18).
- Drug eruptions common in wards; physical dermatoses prevalent in NICUs.
Conclusions:
- Dermatology consultations for neurology inpatients are infrequent, particularly in NICUs.
- Recognize drug eruptions and physical dermatoses as common issues in neurology settings.
- Emphasize the importance of neurologists recognizing and managing co-occurring dermatological conditions.

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.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

01:14Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.

01:15Reticular Dermis
2.7K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.

Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

4.4K
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.
