INFECTIOUS

Disease Image Agent Description/Distribution Risk Factors/Epidemiology Pathogenesis Lab Tests/Dx Tx

IMPETIGO

Staph Aureus OR Streptococcus pyogenes

• Superficial • Begins as pustule •HONEY-CRUSTED

• occurs around face esp around nares

•50–70% of cases are due to S. aureus, with the remainder being due to either S. pyogenes or a combination of these two organisms •Group B streptococci are associated with newborn impetigo

• predisposing factors: minor trauma, pre-existing skin disease, poor hygiene

• Streptococci may be early pathogen w/ staphylococci replacing streptococci as the lesion matures

• s. aureus: exotoxins and coagulase

• topical tx: bacitracin or mupirocin • be sure to treat around nares to prevent shedding

BULLOUS IMPETIGO

Staph Aureus • Of all impetigo 30% results in bullous impetigo.

• Blisters occur at site of infection of Group II phage type 71 Staph aureus

Exfoliative toxins (ETs): act as serine proteases and can cleave human desmoglein 1, an adhesion molecule in the skin -> causes blister and allows bacteria to spread under the skin -->

Phage typing

FOLLICULITIS

Staph Aureus, pseudomonas (hot tub folliculitis)

• superficial infection of hair follicles: erythematous follicular-based papules and pustules

• beard, post neck, occipital scalp, axillae

topical treatment with clindamycin 1% or erythromycin 2%, coupled with an antibacterial wash or soap

FURUNCULOSIS

Staph Aureus deeper follicular infection: acute, round, tender, circumscribed, perifollicular staphylococcal abscess that generally ends in central suppuration

pustule enlarge --> tender red nodule --> painful --> RUPTURE --> pain subsides

• Systemic anti-staphylococcal antibiotics

• small furuncles: warm compresses • large furuncles/carbuncles: incision and drainage

• MRSA: vancomycin

CARBUNCULOSIS

Staph Aureus • coalesced furuncles forming larger draining nodules, with separate heads. • back of neck, back, thighs • tender, painful, and have fever and malaise

ECTHYMA

staphylococcal or streptococcal pyoderma

•nearly always of the shins or dorsal feet • begins with a vesicle or vesicopustule, which enlarges and in a few days becomes thickly crusted

•underlying superficial saucer-shaped ulcer with a raw base and elevated edges remains

clean w/ soap and water, abx ointment

ERYSIPELAS

Group A streptococcal •infection of the skin involving superficial dermal lymphatics

•local redness, heat, swelling, and a highly characteristic raised, indurated border

• young children and elderly • risk factors: lymphedema, venous status, DM, trauma, alcoholism, obesity

B-hemolytic penicillin

CELLULITIS

s. aureus or strep pyogenes • infection extending to subcutis • more diffuse w/ ill defined borders and spreads rapidly

• constitutional sx, regional LAD, sometimes bacteremia

• risk factors: lymphedema, venous status, DM, trauma, alcoholism, obesit

• untreated --> bullous and necrotic --> abscess/fasciitis

• oral Abx: need broad spectrum • parenteral therapy for pts w/ extensive disesase, systemic sx, or

immunocompromised

• good hygiene, warm compresses, elevate affected limb

(2)

INFECTIOUS

NECROTIZING FASCIITIS Microaerophilic β-hemolytic streptococci, hemolytic staphylococcus, coliforms, enterococci, Pseudomonas, and Bacteroides

•acute necrotizing infection involving the fascia and subcutaneous tissue •Within 24–48 h, redness, pain, and edema quickly progress to central patches of dusky blue discoloration, with or without serosanguineous blisters

•Anesthesia of the involved skin is very characteristic. By the fourth/fifth day, these purple areas become gangrenous • w/o tx --> fever, systemic toxicity, organ failure, shock, death

• may follow surgery- perforating trauma, or may occur de novo • predisposing factors: DM, cirrhosis, IV drug use

• CT or MRI: delineate extent of infection • biopsy, gram stain, culture to help identify organism

• early surgical

debridement/fasciotomy, sometimes amputation

• IV abx: gentamicin and clindamicin • supportive care

• can still have 70% mortality w/ treatment

BACILLARY ANGIOMATOSIS

(3)

INFECTIOUS

HERPES SIMPLEX

• Recurrent HSV-1 is the cause 95% or more of the time • HSV1 = orofacial • HSV2 = genital

•most frequent clinical manifestation of orolabial herpes is the “cold sore” or “fever blister.”

•typically presents as grouped blisters on an erythematous base

• HERPES LABIALIS: fever blisters • PRIMARY GENITAL INFECTION: erosive dermatitis on external genitalia • prodrome: pain, burning, itching

• infects mucosal surfaces • HSV multiplies in nucleus and surroundes themselves w/ nuclear membrane envelope

• HSV1: latent in trigeminal ganglion • HSV2: latent in sacral ganglion • reactivates from psychological or physical stress

• infectious via contact

• viral culture: confirms dx • direct fluorescent Ab: helpful but less specific • Tzanck smear: rapid dx but less sensitive

acyclovir

HERPES ZOSTER

Reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus following primary infeciton or vaccination

• eruption initially presents as papules and plaques of erythema in the dermatome. Within hours, the plaques develop blisters • begins w/ pain/paresthesia in band like pattern

• post-herpetic neuralgia: continued pain after skin disease resolves

• dormant in sensory ganglia • reactivates from immunosuppression, emotional stress/trauma --> dermatomal dermatitis

• start early on prednisone • rest, analgesics, compresses, antiviral therapy

• disseminated/opthalmict ypes --> IV acyclovir

WARTS

• intertriginous sites, axillae, popliteal fossa, groin

3 groups are primarily affected: young children, sexually active adults, and immunosuppressed persons

• Virion is encased in a protective sac • transmission from direct skin or mucous membrane contact

• virus replicate in cytoplasm --> induce hyperplasia

• resolve spontaneously but can persist in immunocompromised pts • infectious via contact: atopic skin, shaving, bathers, wrestlers, sex

• Nothing: 6-8weeks individual; Auto inoculate up to a year

•Liquid nitrogen with q-tip for 5 seconds •Curettage (brutal !) don’t use! Leave scar

•Aldara: AAA qd or qod 3-4weeks

•Natural habitat is water, soil or decaying vegetation

•Only a few species are pathogenic for humans.

Cell Membrane and Wall Structure •They are eukaryotic cells.

• Cell membrane and wall similar to gram positive bacteria bc there’s a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall • Fungal membrane contains ergosterol -> different than human cell membranes that have cholesterol

• Cell wall from inner most layer-out: Chitin -> glucan -> mannoproteins • Unlike bacteria it contains no peptidoglycan.

KOH Preparation • Skin is swabbed with 70% ETOH and allowed to air dry

• Surface is scraped to remove skin scales or hair that contain the fungus • Specimen is treated with 10% potassium hydroxide to destroy tissue elements, specifically keratin (thus KOH is a clearing agent.) • Look for branching hyphae or yeast cells. YEAST

BENIGN LESIONS

Disease Image Description/Distribution Pathogenesis Lab Tests/Dx Tx

benign neoplasm of melanocytes histology: MATURE melanocytes descending into dermis

JUNCTIONAL NEVUS (A): flat, at epidermal/dermal junction INTRADERMAL NEVIS (C): indurated, in dermis w/ no connection to epidermis

COMPOUND NEVUS (B): still connected to epidermis but growing down into dermis

brown pigmented lesion w/ hair present at birth --> monitor carefully b/c can become melanoma if large

BECKER'S NEVUS: common on men in lateral upper chest. Lots of hair associated

HALO NEVI immune rxn against mole from body can get vitiligo

benign juvenille melanoma: most common in children

hairless, red/brown dome-shaped papule

slightly elevated, round, regular nevus

pigment in dermis --> reflects blue light

LABIAL MELANOTIC

MACULE faint black spot on lower lip/mucosa

histology: atypical melanocytes w/ bridging of rete ridges

cutaneous hamartoma: contains surface epidermis and adnexal structures (sebaceous gland) linear, unilateral, wart-like, whorled follow Blashkos lines: where melanocytes travel in utero

appearance genetic predisposition:

rare if < 30 histology: horn cysts shave removal benign squamous proliferation sign of skin maturity -->

usually in elderly

well-circumscribed,

crumbles when picked curettage

doesn't occur on lips, palms, soles

raised and brown = okay, flat and black = problem

liquid nitrogen: be careful on dark skin --> can leave hypopigmentation IRRRITATED SK: often confused w/

BCC due to inflamed/swollen look

malignant neoplasm of

melanocytes • personal history of atypical moles, fam hx • congenital nevus • nonmelanoma skin cancer • immunosuppression • sunburn, PUVA, chronic tanning, white skinned • UVA >> UVB

Growth Phases • Radial growth: superficial and laterally

• Vertical growth: deeper into dermis

Pathogenesis

• familial melanoma: CDKN2A mutation --> Rb and p53 inactive

• MC1-R gene: increases risk Better Prognosis factors • young age • female • extremities

• skin metastasis better than visceral

ABCDE

• asymmetry, border irregularity, color, diameter • Color: dark, brown, or pale Metabolic Panel • +S100 • HMB45 • Melan A Histology

• Atypical cells in epidermis • Lack of maturation with descent

• Cytologic atypia & nuclear pleomorphism

• Nucleolar variability: often large & irregular

• Mitoses: deep dermal, often atypical

• Increased apoptosis

• biopsy depth > 1 mm: need sentinel LN biopsy • LN pos = metastatic --> dissect sentinel and surrounding LN • LN neg: remove primary tumor EXCISION • in situ: 0.5 cm margin • < 1 mm: 1 cm margin down to fascia • > 2 mm: 2 cm margin down to fascia Adjuvant Therapy • IFN-a: inc survival but not well tolerated

Metastatic disease • CT: chest, abd, pelvis • MRI brain • radiation Breslow Depth

• obtain skin biopsy for dx and staging

• predicts survival and prognosis

• measures top of granular layer to deepest point of invasion

• < 6mm: benign • > 0.76mm DEEP -> regional lymph node involvement so inc Melanoma in Situ • histology: atypical

melanocytes but basement membrane still intact

Superficial Spread •lower leg in female •back/trunk in males • In early states it may be small, then growth becomes irregular • horizontal superficial spread w/o much induration

MC type of MM in the white-skinned population – 70% of cases

• begins as flat lesion • can turn black, blue, red, white

Nodular • Trunk is a common site • Usually with a POOR prognosis • Black/brown nodule • Ulceration and bleeding are common

M>F • rapid growth

• vertical growth phase MELANOMA

(17)

MALIGNANT LESIONS

•Usually comprises a FLAT lentiginous area w. INVASIVE nodular component • POOR prognosis b/c usually identified too late --> on palms or soles

• Common in black people and Asian

• In white-skinned population accounting for 10% of MM

• KIT gene: overexpressed. possible gene association

• hutchinson's sign: pigment spreads under nail plate to proximal and lateral nail folds

Subungal Melanoma • Often diagnosed late • Confusion with benign subungal nevus, infections or trauma

Rare

Amelanocytic Melanoma• fleshy pink, indurated lesion • Diagnosis is often missed clinically so do bx • often mistaken for BCC or verruca

• Lack of pigmentation due to the rapid growth of tumor and differentiation of the malignant melanocytes

Desmoplastic Melanoma

• Usually found on head and neck region

• Usually amelanotic lesions • High chance for recurrence

Positive S-100 protein but are often negative to tyrosinase, Melan-A.

Conjunctival Melanoma• Markedly pigmented tumor in eye

Metastatic Melanoma • Satellitosis near the primary melanoma

• Sometimes distant metastases that appear as papules or plaques, not pigmented. MELANOMA

•Inability to tan •Exposure to UV radiation from sunlight or artificial tanning lamps •UV exposure pattern- intermittent, childhood sun exposure

• immunosuppression

• PTCH mutation: unchecked cell proliferation

• photocarcinogenesis: DNA damaged by UVB, ROS induces DNA damage, cell-mediated immunity suppressed, p53 mutates

• p53 mutation: can't trigger apoptosis

• indolent, low metastatic potential

• When washing face, crust comes off and lesion starts bleeding

• Almost always epidermal attachment

• Nests or lobules of hyperchromatic but uniform basaloid cells with PERIPHERAL PALISADING surrounded by loose stroma

• CLEFT-LIKE retraction spaces • May appear pigmented due to dermal melanophages

•New drug target PATCH called Vismodegib •ELECTRODESICCATION AND CURETTAGE (ED&C): great for small low risk BCC •Excision: large low risk (5 mm) or any high risk (10 mm) •MOHS micrographic surgery: microscopically controlled technique with real-time frozen tissue secitons to insure margin control; for high risk, large low risk, face, scalp, and neck, recurence •Radiation- adjunctive therapy if can't do surgery, or if have perineural invasion •Aldara- low cure rate

Nodular BCC low risk

Superficial BCC Erythematous plaques w/ +/- papules, scale, telangiectasia

low risk

Morpheaform BCC scar-like or white plaque w/ slight translucence. Looks like scar on nose

high risk

Cystic BCC well-marginated, red or flesh-coloured nodule with cystic centers. POPPING DOES NOT RESOLVE IT --> not just a simple cyst
