    Abstract Scarlet fever typically presents with distinctive erythematous papular rash following pharyngitis. Atypical forms may develop, making the diagnosis difficult. We present the case of a girl with fever, and unusual vesicular skin eruption (miliaria scarlatinosa) preceded by a skin infection, without mucosal changes. Leukocyte count, C-reactive protein, and antistreptolysin O-titer were elevated. Bacteriological swabs of the skin injury revealed Streptococcus pyogenes. Histopathology was compatible with scarlet fever exanthema. Intramuscular penicillin and topical wound care induced complete remission. It is of great importance to be aware of uncommon clinical presentations of scarlet fever in order to establish a timely diagnosis and prevent potential complications.

    Abstract For the last two decades, the outbreaks of diseases caused by coronaviruses and intermittent worldwide public health emergences have reminded us that they still represent a severe threat to global health. The recent outbreak of corona virus disease 19 (COVID-19) highlighted the urgent need for effective treatment, and initiated rapid search for therapies, able to counter the most severe disease effects. Many aspects of COVID-19 pathogenesis are unknown, but complex interplay of direct viral damage and immune response dysregulation is underline. Intensive research is undergoing for therapeutic targets of virus and high-efficiency and low toxicity targeted drugs. There is no available specific antiviral treatment of this disease, therefore repurposing of drugs already available for the treatment of other viral and autoimmune diseases has been a part of research efforts. Well known anti-inflammatory properties of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, agents widely used in dermatology, made them potential candidates for the treatment of COVID-19. We review pathogenesis and clinical characteristic of COVID-19, as well as treatment options that have been under evaluation in past several months. In addition, we focus more on chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, their pharmacological properties, clinical utility, and current recommendations for their use in COVID-19.

    Abstract Introduction: Pemphigus herpetiformis is the rare variant of pemphigus with characteristic clinical features, histopathological findings different from the convectional pemphigus, and immunological findings consistent with pemphigus.
    Case report: We presented a 65-year-old woman with initial pruritus followed by pruritic urticarial papules and plaques, some with annular rings of tense vesicles on the periphery, on the trunk and extremities, with no mucous lesions. Histopathological examination demonstrated spongiosis and intraepidermal vesicles in the mid or subcorneal epidermis in some biopsy specimen, with neutrophil and eosinophil infiltrate. Direct immunoflorescent microscopy revealed intercellular IgG deposition, most prominent in the upper layers of epidermis. Indirect immunoflorescent microscopy showed intercellular binding of IgG autoantibodies in the patient’s sera. Initially the patient was threated with systemic corticosteroids and azathioprine, but dapson provided complete clinical remission.
    Conclusion: This entity was established 40 years ago, and around 100 patients have been reported worldwide. It is important to be aware of this particular form of pemphigus because clinical presentation, course of the disease and therapeutic approach are different from conventional forms of pemphigus.

    Abstract Annular lichenoid dermatitis of youth (ALDY), first described in 2003, represents an uncommon entity whose etiopathogenesis is still debated. Futhermore, the optimal treatment for ALDY is yet to be established. We report a 9-year-old girl who presented with annular and oval erythematous lesions mostly on her trunk, with several lesions on the neck, groin, flanks, and upper extremities. The lesions had histological and immunohistochemical features characteristic for ALDY. Treatment with H1-antihistamines, topical corticosteroid, and UVB therapy was unsuccessful, while systemic treatment with cyclosporine induced complete remission.

    Abstract Amelanotic melanoma is a subtype of cutaneous melanoma without pigment. The clinical diagnosis is challenging because it may mimic benign or malignant melanocytic and non-melanocytic neoplasms and inflammatory skin diseases. In synchrony with the improvement of the diagnosis of pigmented lesions, dermatoscopy may assist the clinician in the diagnosis of non-pigmented skin neoplasms in general and of amelanotic melanoma in particular. We have searched the literature to extract the most relevant dermatoscopic clues to diagnose amelanotic and hypomelanotic melanomas by dermatoscopy. In addition we present eight consecutive cases and discuss their clinical and dermatoscopic characteristics in the light of published data.

    Abstract Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS) is a self-limiting, mostly childhood-appearing, cutaneous eruption with characteristic symmetric areal distribution. The original cases, described by Gianotti in 1955, were associated with hepatitis B virus infection, but other viral and bacterial infections, as well as immunizations, have been implied in etiology of this condition. Adult cases are rare and have been reported almost exclusively in women. We present the case of a 20-year-old Caucasian man who had typical clinical presentation: monomorphic pale, pink-to-flesh - colored or erythematous papules and papulovesicles localized symmetrically over the extensor surfaces of the extremities, buttocks and the face; some lesions were detected on knees, elbows and palms, as well. Laboratory tests revealed slight bilirubin and alanine aminotransaminase elevation. Serology tests demonstrated antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus and parvovirus B-19. Histology of skin biopsy specimens revealed a vesicular dermatitis with perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate. Oral and topical corticosteroids and oral antihistamines led to complete resolution of lesions in 3 weeks. GCS is rare in adults, especially men. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fifth male adult case and the first with Parvovirus B-19 and EBV coinfection.
