|September 4, 1982
Abstract:
Two patients with febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (FND) of Sweet's syndrome are described. One patient had acute myeloblastic leukaemia and FND antedated any changes in the peripheral blood. The second patient had bullous lesions which healed, with clinical cutis laxa (acquired anetoderma). In this patient FND had persisted for 8 years and histological examination of the skin lesions showed inflammation of the subcutaneous fat. To our knowledge this represents the first report of panniculitis due to FND.

01:29Staphylococcal Skin Infections
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus that resides harmlessly on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy individuals. When the skin barrier is breached, it can shift from a commensal to an opportunistic pathogen. This transition is facilitated by surface adhesins, such as clumping factor B and S. aureus surface protein G (SasG), which bind to structural proteins, including loricrin and cytokeratin, in the damaged epidermis. Protein A, another key factor, binds the Fc region of...
01:26Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a severe tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a Gram-negative, coccobacillary bacterium. This pathogen is an obligate intracellular parasite, requiring a host cell for replication. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, the most important vectors are Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) and Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick), though other tick species may also serve as vectors.
