Abstract:
Pyoderma gangrenosum cannot be viewed simply as "an ulcer with undermined bluish borders," since this description recognizes only one stage of the evolving process. Patients with this disorder often have cutaneous lesions including papules, pustules, and plaques that evolve and resolve without ever passing through an ulcerative stage. Moreover, such patients frequently have a variety of internal inflammatory and ulcerative disorders. The nature of these disorders as well as the increasing evidence of grossly altered immunity in pyoderma gangrenosum is also presented.

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...
