The main step was to identify the potential causes of CU to institute the strategy for management of patients. To present the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features of CU. 233 cases of CU were enrolled through a retrospective study conducted in the dermatology department of La Rabta hospital during 10 years (1997-2006). The mean age of our patients was about 36 years with a sex ratio of 2.28. The mean duration of the CU before the consultation was 21 months. Inducing Factors were reported in 109 cases, dominated by physical factors (73 cases). Severe symptoms as facial edema were observed in 44 cases. The CU was considered as idiopathic in 179 cases (77%). An etiology was found in 54 cases, dominated by physical origin, noted in 25 cases. All patients were treated by antihistaminic. Systemic corticosteroids were associated in 41 patients. Partial improvement was the mainly outcome (166 ...

The aim of our study was to specify the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of this disease in a hospital series. A total of 22 patients were included during a period of 19 years. There were 15 women and 7 men. Patient's mean age was of 36,1 years. Parental inbreeding was reported in 10 cases. However, the parents were apparently healty. All patients exhibited cutaneous signs. The association between pseudoxanthoma elasticum and elastosis perforans serpiginosa was reported in two cases. The histological features were characteristic in all cases. The ophthalmologic examination realized on 13 patients revealed angioid streaks in 6 cases and a orange peel aspect in one case. Cardiac evaluation performed in 11 patients did not reveal specific PXE abnormalities. A follow-up was recommended in the majority of the cases. In conclusion, a family history of PXE was fr...

Unlike cutaneous forms, mucosal involvement is uncommon. The purpose of this report is to describe another case of mucosal leishmaniasis due to contiguity with a skin lesion in a 54-years-old woman. The patient responded well to treatment with meglumine antimoniate.

Elle survient souvent chez des sujets immunodeprimes ou ayant un deficit neurologique. Nous rapportons l’observation d’une femme âgee de 76 ans qui consultait pour une eruption generalisee moderement prurigineuse evoluant depuis 3 mois. L’examen cutane montrait une erythrodermie crouteuse et squameuse associee a une hyperkeratose palmo-plantaire. L’examen parasitologique montrait de multiples sarcoptes. Le bilan biologique a la recherche d’un facteur d’immunodepression revelait un diabete type 2. Le traitement consistait en un traitement concomitant par des agents keratolytiques et un scabecide local. Une guerison clinique etait obtenue en fin de traitement. A travers cette observation nous attirons l’attention sur cette forme particuliere de gale et incitons a la pratique systematique d’examens parasitologique cutanes devant toute erythrodermie seche squameuse et...

Its impact is underestimated as it is often misdiagnosed ad wrongly taken as a dermatophytic infection. Through a hospital series, we report the epidemiologic and clinical features of erythrasma, as well as the therapeutic ways. methods: A retrospective study over a 20 year period and including the patients diagnosed as having erythrasma after a Wood's light examination. results: There were 16 patients (6 males and 10 females) with an average age of 44.6 years-old. The majority of our patients consulted on hot season. Clinical examination showed macular plaques with clear limits, erythematous in 6 cases and yellowish in the remaining cases. The lesions were located at the axillary folds in 13 cases; the groin in 2 cases and at all folds in one case. Treatment with erythromycin (topical or general administration) was the most pr...

On clinical examination, the patient was found to have widespread papules over the face and multiple reddish nodules covering the arms and the forearms (Fig. 1a). Red-coloured infiltrated plaques were present on the upper part of the back. No gingival hyperplasia, adenopathy or splenomegaly was found.

Few epidemiologic studies were interested in this symptom which relates to the old subject particularly. To study the epidemiological and clinical features as well as the treatment of pruritus in this age bracket. A retrospective study over 10 years and 5 months at the dermatology department of Habib Thameur hospital concerned 208 patients, 65 years old and more presenting a pruritus without specific dermatological lesion. The frequency of pruritus in the old subject was 5.14 per 1000 new consultants. Pruritus had revealed an ignored affection in 36.36% of the cases: an iron deficiency in 10 cases, a type 2 diabetes in 6 cases, a hypereosinophilia over 1000 elements/mm3 in 4 cases, a chronic renal failure in 2 cases, a hepatic cytolysis in 2 cases, a cholestasis in one case, a polycythemia vera in one case and hepatitis B one a case. Skin lubricants and antihistamines associated to topical corticosteroids in ...
