Skin ulcersare extremely common in IDUs. They are found at every conceivable site but are particularly common below the knee, close to the ankle.79They arise from tissue damage caused by repeated nonsterile injection into the same site with associated thrombosis and infection. Skin ulcers may per...
that were managed by fusiform excision and 1 patient had surgical site infection that was managed conservatively. Using the authors’ self-devised facial scar scoring system (SCAR or Scar Cosmesis Assessment and Rating) on all the scars, the mean score was 6 at 1 year follow-up. The authors...
tuberculosis infection, inoculation of bacteria into the skin produced a painless, solitary verrucose plaque, usually on a hand or foot, known as tuberculosis verrucosa cutis. Breast tuberculosis is not conventionally considered with cutaneous tuberculosis, but is here as it often presents with skin...
Complete removal of an ICD system carries considerable risk. In patients with a history of hematological disease, it is crucial to exclude cutaneous manifestations of the disease prior to device removal. 展开 关键词: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator Pocket infection ...
AFR was used in conjunction with topical paromomycin via laser-assisted delivery to treat the largest non-healing CL wound on the patient's distal lower extremity. Upon follow-up after 2 treatments with AFR, the patient's wound healed completely without evidence of infection and with minimal scar...
Pocket infectionWe are presenting a case report on an unreported and unusual cutaneous manifestation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in a patient with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). A 65-year-old man with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), previously treated with ...

pruritus associated with scabies and larva migrans infection might be promoted by eosinophils [10]. Epidermotropic forms ofcutaneous T cell lymphoma(CTCL) are characterized by the infiltration of malignant, clonally expanded T cells [72]. The malignant cells resemble central memory T cells in ...
Active tuberculosis after infection is highest in the first year of life. ○ Children younger than 1 year old have a 40% risk of developing active disease if infected. ○ This is in contrast to the population as a whole, who have only a 10% lifetime risk of reactivation to active diseas...
With the goal of improving clinical and economic outcomes, new burn care interventions aim to reduce infection rates and the time to wound closure; in turn, decreases in hospital LOS, the number of surgeries, and the need for rehabilitation are likely to follow [8], [9], [10], [11]. ...
