Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.0K
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...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.3K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

43
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

18
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

21
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Disseminated cutaneous herpes zoster (DCHZ) is an uncommon herpes zoster (HZ) manifestation.
  • It primarily impacts individuals with compromised immune systems, posing a risk of fatal visceral involvement.

Observation:

  • A 90-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) on chlorambucil presented with facial papules.
  • Initial misdiagnosis as a drug eruption led to delayed recognition and treatment.

Findings:

  • Lesions spread progressively over a week in a cephalocaudal direction, affecting the trunk and limbs.
  • Herpes zoster virus (HZV) smear test confirmed DCHZ, and acyclovir treatment was initiated.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering DCHZ in immunosuppressed patients with atypical dermatological presentations.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to severe outcomes, as exemplified by the patient's fatal pneumonitis and ARDS.
