  1. Dermatology Case Epetia Mar, Erestain Noel, Esguerra Peter Hans, Esmael Krista, Eugenio Clarisse Marie, Evangelista Emman, Evangelista Kristy Elleza, FactonRosabelle

  2. Patient Profile • 57 year old • Male • Veterinarian

  3. History • 4 days PTC  complained of pain on his left cheek. • A day after, he noted numerous vesicles on this left cheek affecting the left periorbital area and nasal region. • He then consulted the emergency room due to the pain & difficulty of opening his left eye.

  4. Salient features • 57 years old • Male • Veterinarian • Numerous vesicles on left cheek affecting left periorbital area and nasal region • Pain and difficulty opening his left eye

  5. Differential Diagnosis • Miliaria Crystalline (Sudamina) • Impetigo Contagiosa • Steven Johnson Syndrome • Herples Simplex • Herpes Zoster

  6. Miliaria • The retention of sweat as a result of occlusion of eccrine sweat ducts • Produces an eruption that is common in hot, humid climates(tropics and hot summer months in temperate climates) • Staphylococcus epidermidis (Mowad et al) • Produces an extracellular polysaccharide that obstructs the delivery of sweat to the skin surface • occlusion prevents normal secretion from the sweat glands, and eventually the backed up pressure causes rupture of the sweat glands

  7. Miliaria Crystalline/ Sudamina • Small, clear, and very superficial vesicles with no inflammatory reaction • Lesions are asymptomatic, short lived and self limited • Appears in bedridden patients • in whom fever produces increased perspiration • Bundled children • clothing prevents dissipation of heat and moisture

  10. Impetigo Contagiosa

  11. Impetigo Contagiosa

  12. Steven Johnson Syndrome • affecting the skin in whichcell death causes the epidermis to separate from the dermis. • Involves less than 10% body surface Initial lesion: macular followed by desquamation, or may form atypical targets with purpuric centers that coalesce, form bullae, then slough. Areas of predilection: oral mucosa and conjunctiva being most frequently affected.

  13. Steven Johnson Syndrome Signs and Symptoms • Fever and influenza-like symptoms precede eruption • Photophobia • Difficulty with swallowing • Cough • Painful on urination • Rectal erosions

  14. Steven Johnson Syndrome Skin biopsy: lymphocytic infiltrate at dermoepidermal junction with necrosis of keratinocytes. Etiology: • Infections ( following HSV, Influenza, EBV, etc.) • Adverse effects of drugs (allopurinol, diclofenac, isotretinoin, fluconazole, valdecoxib, oseltamivir, penicillins, brabiturates, sulfonamides, phenytoin, azithromycin, lamotrigine, pyrimethamine, ibuprofen, ethosuximide, carbamazepine and gout medications) Most common sequelae: ocular scarring, vision loss & sicca-like syndrome

  15. Differential DiagnosesHerpes Simplex • Lesion • Vesicles are intraepidermal • Dermis and epidermis containing infiltrates of leukocytes and serous exudates • Area of Predilection • Oral herpes: Face and mouth (cold sores)

  16. Herpes SimplexSigns and Symptoms • Common infection of the skin or mucosa may affect the face and mouth (orofacial herpes), genitalia (genital herpes), or hands (herpes whitlow). • More serious disorders occur when the virus infects and damages the eye (herpes keratitis), or invades the central nervous system, damaging the brain (herpes encephalitis).

  17. Herpes Simplex • Hallmark • Tzanck Smear: multinucleate epidermal giant cell. • Etiology • HSV-1 Tzanck Smear showing multinucleated giant cell

  18. Herpes zoster (Shingles) • classically occurs unilaterally within the distribution of a cranial or spinal sensory nerve, often with some overflow into the dermatomes above and below. • Most frequently affected: • thoracic (55%) • cranial (20%, with the trigeminal nerve being the most common single nerve involved) • lumbar (15%) • sacral (5%)

  19. Herpes zoster (Shingles) • Prodromal pain typically confined to the same dermatomal distribution occurs days before development of cutaneous lesions. • The rashes, which are initially vesicular, gradually become pustular and then crust over during a period of 7-10 days.

  20. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus • The ophthalmic division of the CN V is involved. • If the external division of the nasociliary branch is affected, with vesicles on the side and tip of the nose (Hutchinson's sign), and the eye is involved 76% of the time. • Etiology: Varicella-zoster virus (reactivation)
