Rarely eosinophils [1] Allergic drug reaction Rarely involvement of hair follicles. [1] Frequently eosinophils [1] Lichen sclerosus: Hyperkeratosis, atrophic epidermis, sclerosis of dermis and dermal lymphocytes. [2] Erythema multiforme Lupus erythematosis Typical findings in systemic lupus erythematosus: [3] Fibrinoid necrosis at the ...
Mild superficial perivascular infiltrate of lymphocytes, histiocytes and occasional neutrophils. There is some exocytosis of inflammatory cells but not as prominent as in nummular dermatitis; Typical findings: [5] Psoriasiform hyperplasia, initially slight, with mild spongiosis; Usually numerous yeast-like organisms in the surface keratin
In non-bullous cases, perivascular and interstitial neutrophils are sometimes present in the upper dermis, with damage to blood vessels An interface dermatitis with vacuolar alteration, not otherwise specified, may be caused by viral exanthems , phototoxic dermatitis , acute radiation dermatitis , erythema dyschromicum perstans , lupus ...
Poison ivy. What it looks like: Poison ivy is a type of allergic contact dermatitis that is caused by the oil (urushiol oil) in the poison ivy plant, explains Karan Lal, D.O., M.S., F.A.A.D ...
The syndrome is also associated with other maladies caused by high levels of blood eosinophils such as the various hypereosinophilia-related disorders: persistent asthma and allergic rhinitis and, more significantly, eosinophil-based and lymphocyte-based inflammation of the liver (>70% of cases), kidney (20% to 40% of cases), lung (~33% of ...
The symptoms of DRESS syndrome usually begin 2 to 6 weeks but uncommonly up to 8–16 weeks after exposure to an offending drug. Symptoms generally include fever, an often itchy rash which may be morbilliform or consist mainly of macules or plaques, facial edema (i.e. swelling, which is a hallmark of the disease), enlarged and sometimes painful lymph nodes, and other symptoms due to ...
Based on their causes, hypereosinophilias can be sorted into subtypes. However, cases of eosinophilia, which exhibit eosinophil counts between 500 and 1,500/μL, may fit the clinical criteria for, and thus be regarded as falling into, one of these hypereosinophilia categories: the cutoff of 1,500/μL between hypereosinophilia and eosinophilia is somewhat arbitrary.
The dermis contains two vascular networks that run parallel to the skin surface—one superficial and one deep plexus—which are connected by vertical communicating vessels. [8] [11] The function of blood vessels within the dermis is fourfold: to supply nutrition, to regulate temperature, to modulate inflammation, and to participate in wound ...
