Abstract Background: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a myriad of cutaneous manifestations have been described in association with this viral infection. However, in Latin America, this kind of data is still scarce. Objective: In this sense, the goal of this study was to describe the dermatological findings observed during SARS-CoV-2 infection, in a Brazilian Hospital. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study of 50 cases of new-onset dermatologic symptoms in patients with COVID-19, treated at Hospital Sírio-Libanês, from February to June 2020. Results: The patients (n = 50) were classified into 6 groups, according to the elementary lesions and the statistical analysis was performed. The most common cutaneous lesions were maculopapular eruptions (44%), necrosis, purpura, and livedo (32%), urticarial lesions (12%), pseudochilblains (4%) and papular-vesicular eruption (4%). In 46% of the patients the cutaneous lesions occurred in association with other symptoms, such as pruritus (38%), pain and burning sensation (8%). Lower limbs were affected in 44% of the cases, followed by the trunk (38%), upper limbs (24%) and face (14%). Cutaneous lesions were mostly found after other COVID-19 systemic symptoms, with a mean period between the viral syndrome and cutaneous signs of 5 days (SD = 6.1 days). Study limitations: It is a small sample, in a single-center study, with patients exclusively from a private Hospitals. Conclusions: Patients in Brazil have the same proportion of lesions as revealed in other studies in Europa. The compiled data is essential for a better understanding of cutaneous manifestations deemed secondary to COVID.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis is a highly prevalent inflammatory and pruritic dermatosis with a multifactorial etiology, which includes skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and microbiome alterations. Atopic dermatitis is mediated by genetic, environmental, and psychological factors and requires therapeutic management that covers all the aspects of its complex pathogenesis. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this article is to present the experience, opinions, and recommendations of Brazilian dermatology experts regarding the therapeutic management of atopic dermatitis. METHODS: Eighteen experts from 10 university hospitals with experience in atopic dermatitis were appointed by the Brazilian Society of Dermatology to organize a consensus on the therapeutic management of atopic dermatitis. The 18 experts answered an online questionnaire with 14 questions related to the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Afterwards, they analyzed the recent international guidelines on atopic dermatitis of the American Academy of Dermatology, published in 2014, and of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, published in 2018. Consensus was defined as approval by at least 70% of the panel. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: The experts stated that the therapeutic management of atopic dermatitis is based on skin hydration, topical anti-inflammatory agents, avoidance of triggering factors, and educational programs. Systemic therapy, based on immunosuppressive agents, is only indicated for severe refractory disease and after failure of topical therapy. Early detection and treatment of secondary bacterial and viral infections is mandatory, and hospitalization may be needed to control atopic dermatitis flares. Novel target-oriented drugs such as immunobiologicals are invaluable therapeutic agents for atopic dermatitis.

Abstract: We report the case of a male 22-month-old child, with atypical presentation of Gianotti-Crosti syndrome after infection with Epstein-Barr virus.

Abstract: Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown etiology, of which the most frequent clinical manifestations are ulcers. The diagnosis difficulty is, among other things, to rule out other causes of ulcers, since it is considered a diagnosis of exclusion. Skin ulcerations may also occur in the iliac vein compression syndrome, which, like pyoderma gangrenosum, mainly affects young women. Because they have such similar characteristics, the presence of vascular disease may hinder the diagnosis of concurrent pyoderma gangrenosum. Because of the clinical relevance of ulcerated lesions and scars, the early diagnosis and treatment of this condition is considered extremely important. We report a case in which the two diseases were associated, hampering the diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosum.

Abstract Elastoma is a connective tissue nevus characterized by changes in elastic fibers. It can be congenital or acquired, and is usually diagnosed before puberty. Associated with osteopoikilosis, it is known as Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome. Histopathology with specific staining for elastic fibers is critical for a diagnostic conclusion. This report describes the case of a 7-year-old male patient with lesions diagnosed as elastoma, with absence of bone changes in the radiological imaging. This study aims to report the clinical presentation and histological examination of such unusual disease.

Líquen nítido é uma doença de etiologia desconhecida, caracterizada por pápulas normocrômicas, brilhantes medindo de 1 a 2 milímetros de diâmetro, geralmente assintomáticas ou com leve prurido. A forma mais comum é a localizada nos genitais, membros superiores, tronco e abdome. A forma generalizada é rara. Este é o quarto relato de caso descrito de líquen nítido associado à Síndrome de Down.

Lichen nitidus is a disease of unknown etiology, characterized by flesh-colored, shiny papules of 1-2 mm and generally asymptomatic or with mild pruritus. The most common sites of occurrence are genitalia, upper limbs, trunk and abdomen. The generalized form is rare. This is the fourth reported case of lichen nitidus associated with Down Syndrome.

FUNDAMENTOS: É bastante divulgado, sem a fundamentação científica necessária, que a infecção por molusco contagioso tende a ser mais frequente e de maior intensidade nos pacientes acometidos por dermatite atópica. Tal fato motivou a realização deste trabalho. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a prevalência de associação de dermatite atópica e molusco contagioso; avaliar se, nos pacientes com dermatite atópica, a infecção por molusco contagioso é mais recorrente e/ou disseminada e se a ocorrência de eczema perimolusco, prurido e/ou infecção é mais prevalente que nos pacientes sem dermatite atópica. MÉTODOS: Avaliaram-se 284 crianças de ambos os sexos, com diagnóstico de molusco contagioso e/ ou dermatite atópica. RESULTADOS: Apenas 13,4% dos pacientes apresentavam ambas as doenças. O número de áreas anatômicas afetadas por molusco contagioso, a ocorrência de eczema perimolusco e prurido foram maiores nos pacientes com dermatite atópica associada. Não houve diferença significativa de frequência de infecção secundária associada às lesões de molusco contagioso nos pacientes com e sem dermatite atópica. CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência da ocorrência de dermatite atópica e molusco contagioso associados foi baixa. Não houve diferença significativa na recorrência da infecção por molusco contagioso e na quantidade de lesões nos pacientes com e sem dermatite atópica. O número de áreas anatômicas afetadas por lesões de molusco contagioso, a presença de eczema perimolusco e de prurido foram maiores nos pacientes com dermatite atópica. Não houve diferença significativa na ocorrência de infecção bacteriana secundária nos grupos com e sem dermatite atópica

BACKGROUND: Although no scientific evidence has yet been published, it is widely understood that molluscum contagiosum tends to be more common and more intense in patients with atopic dermatitis. This lack of evidence led to the development of the present study. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prevalence of the association between atopic dermatitis and molluscum contagiosum; to evaluate whether molluscum contagiosum is more likely to be recurrent and/or disseminated in patients with atopic dermatitis and whether the occurrence of eczema surrounding the molluscum contagiosum lesions, pruritus and/or infection is more prevalent in these patients compared to patients without atopic dermatitis. METHODS: A total of 284 children of both sexes with a diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum and/or atopic dermatitis were evaluated. RESULTS: Only 13.4% of the patients had both conditions. The number of anatomical areas affected by molluscum contagiosum and the occurrence of surrounding eczema and pruritus was greater in the patients who also had atopic dermatitis. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of secondary infection associated with the molluscum contagiosum lesions between the patients who had atopic dermatitis and those who did not. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of atopic dermatitis associated with molluscum contagiosum was low. There was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence rates associated with molluscum contagiosum or in the number of lesions between the patients who had atopic dermatitis and those who did not. The number of anatomical areas affected by the molluscum contagiosum lesions and the presence of surrounding eczema and pruritus were higher in the patients with atopic dermatitis. There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of secondary bacterial infection between the groups with and without atopic dermatitis

FUNDAMENTOS: A literatura mostra que a prevalência de doenças dermatológicas em crianças e adolescentes com idades de 7-14 anos é consideravelmente significante, bem como a falta de tratamento e possível agravamento da situação. OBJETIVOS: Realização de uma análise investigativa para apontar a prevalência de dermatoses em indivíduos de 714 anos, assim como para verificar se estas estão diretamente ligadas ou não a suas respectivas situações socioeconômicas. MÉTODOS: Analisaram-se 200 crianças e adolescentes com idades de 7-14 anos, entre os meses de agosto e novembro de 2006, sendo 100 crianças em duas escolas públicas localizadas na periferia e 100 em duas escolas particulares localizadas em bairro de classe média alta na cidade de Santo André, Grande São Paulo. Para tanto, utilizou-se o método investigativo, com exame clínico de toda a superfície corpórea, de mucosas e de gânglios palpáveis, sendo a amostra populacional analisada de acordo com o teste qui-quadrado. RESULTADOS: 87,5% das crianças apresentaram algum tipo de dermatose; encontraram-se 46 dermatoses, destacando-se: a) nevos melânicos (p<0,001); b) acne grau II (p=0,004); c) pitiríase alba (p<0,001); d) livedo reticular (p=0,025); e) pediculose (p<0,001); f) asteatose (p<0,001); g) dermatite friccional (p=0,007). Constatou-se uma pequena predominância das dermatoses nas crianças das escolas públicas (53,14%). CONCLUSÕES: A amostra dessa população indicou que 87,5% das crianças apresentaram dermatoses, uma prevalência muito maior do que a encontrada na literatura (30% a 50%) e uma prevalência discretamente mais elevada nas escolas públicas. O estudo mostrou a indiferença dos pais e responsáveis, o que aponta para a necessidade de interferência de políticas públicas, cuja falta, certamente, é responsável por esse índice elevado e possível agravamento da prevalência

BACKGROUND: Literature shows that prevalence of skin diseases in children and adolescents aged 7-14 years is very significant, as well as lack of treatment worsening the situation. OBJECTIVES: An investigative analysis was conducted to determine the prevalence of skin diseases in individuals 714 years and focus on whether or not they are related directly to their respective socio-economic status. METHODS: 200 children and adolescents were examined aged 7-14 years,between August and November 2006,100 children in two public schools located in the periphery and 100 in two private schools located in upper middleclass neighborhood in Santo André,located in São Paulo.Investigative method used was the clinical examination of the whole skin, mucous areas and palpable ganglia,and the population sample analyzed according to the chi-square. RESULTS: 87.5% of children had some skin disease.46 dermatoses were found,the most important:a)melanocytic nevi (p <0.001);b)acne grade II (p = 0.004);c)pityriasis alba (p <0.001);d)livedo reticularis (p = 0.025); e)pediculosis (p <0.001);f)asteatosis (p <0.001);g) frictional dermatitis (p = 0.007).Small prevalence of skin diseases was observed in children in public schools (53.14%). CONCLUSIONS: This population sample indicated that 87.5% of children had skin diseases,which prevalence was much higher than those found in the literature(30-50%),showing a lightly enhanced prevalence in public schools.The study showed the neglect of parents and caregivers,indicating the need for interference from public policy,which lack certainly is responsible for high rate and can increase it

Urticária aquagênica é forma rara de urticária física caracterizada por aparecimento de urticas após o contato com água, independente da temperatura. Há poucos casos descritos de urticária aquagênica e, destes, somente cinco da forma familiar. Apresentamos o primeiro relato de urticária aquagênica familiar no Brasil, acometendo mãe e filha. Ambas apresentavam urticas, principalmente após banho de chuveiro, independentemente da temperatura da água. A mãe referia ter o quadro há quatro anos, e a filha, desde o nascimento. Para diagnóstico, foram realizados testes de provocação com água, com aparecimento de lesões em ambas, e testes com dermografômetro, com cubo de gelo envolvido em plástico e de provocação para urticária colinérgica, sem o aparecimento de lesões, excluindo assim outras formas de urticária física.

Aquagenic urticaria is a rare form of physical urticaria, characterized by pruritic wheals that appear following contact with water, independently of its temperature. There are few reports of cases of aquagenic urticaria, and only five include the familial form. We present the first case of familial aquagenic urticaria in Brazil (mother and daughter). Both patients presented wheals following contact with water, especially when showering, regardless of its temperature. The mother reported onset of urticaria four years before and the daughter presented wheals since birth. For diagnostic purposes, they were submitted to a challenge test with water, and both subjects presented wheals, as well as to tests using ice cubes in plastic bag with dermographometer and challenge tests for cholinergic urticaria, with no appearance of lesions, excluding other forms of physical urticaria.

A síndrome de Papillon-Lefèvre ou queratodermia transgressiva com periodontopatia é genodermatose rara, com acometimento cutâneo e dentário. As alterações aparecem por volta do primeiro ano de vida, com queratodermia transgressiva palmoplantar associada a periodontites, com perda precoce dos dentes decíduos e permanentes. É freqüentemente associada com infecções bacterianas da pele e de órgãos internos. A histopatologia é inespecífica, sendo o diagnóstico eminentemente clínico.

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome, or palmoplantar keratoderma with periodontitis, is a rare genodermatosis with cutaneous and dental repercussions. The condition appears at around the first year of life, with transgressive palmar-plantar keratoderma associated with periodontitis, early loss of both deciduous and permanent teeth. It is frequently associated with pyogenic infection of the skin and internal organs. Histopathology is nonspecific, the diagnosis being eminently clinical.
