Till now around 73 cases have been reported. We are reporting a case of 3 year old female child with keratoderma of palms and soles since birth along with peri-orificial hyperkeratosis flexion deformity of digits of palms hypotrichosis and onychodystrophy. There was no history of hyperhidrosis no dental abnormalities and no sensorineural hearing loss. Hence the diagnosis of Olmsted syndrome was made.

It is a standardized procedure to measure quantitatively or qualitatively through verbal or non-verbal behaviors. It can also be defined as a means of measuring knowledge, skills, feelings, intelligence, or aptitude of an individual or a group. Both the annual and semester systems of examination are in practice simultaneously at university level in Pakistan. This paper is a case study that discusses the students and teachers’ perception toward the semester system of examination at university level in Pakistan. A small sample consisting of 270 students and 45 teachers of different departments of The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan includes both the Bahawalnagar and Rahimyar Khan Campuses was taken from the representation of all the programs of the university. A 34-item questionnaire on 5-point Likret scale was administered to the students. Data was analyzed by ...

Infection typically occurs on the trunk and proximal upper extremities and is characterized by distinctive scaly, coalescent hyperpigmented and/or hypopigmented to erythematous patches. Tinea versicolor is a superficial chronically recurring fungal infection of the stratum corneum, characterized by scaly, hypo and hyperpigmented irregular macules, usually located on the trunk and proximal extremities caused by pityrosporum orbiculare.Methods: 100 patients of untreated tinea versicolor who attended the outpatient department were selected at random irrespective of their age, socioeconomic status, occupation. A detailed history was taken, regarding the age, sex, religion, occupation, socioeconomic status, residence, duration and course of the disease, site of distribution of lesion and any other associated cutaneous and systemic diseases.Results: The majori...

Fractional CO2 laser system is a recent advancement in the treatment of vitiligo which works on the concept of fractional photo-thermolysis, in which microscopic treatment zones are created which help in increasing the penetration of topically applied agent which indirectly improves drug efficacy.Methods: A comparative study was conducted on 40 patients of stable vitiligo attending OPD, Dept of DVL with fractional CO2 laser, narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB) and topical tacrolimus 0.1% vs NBUVB, topical tacrolimus 0.1% for a duration of 4 months and patients were followed up for 12 weeks post treatment.Results: Patients on Fractional CO2 laser in combination with NBUVB and topical tacrolimus 0.1% ointment showed >50% improvement compared with other group, with duration for initiation ...

Although the increased melanin provides protection from harmful effects of UV radiation, including photodamage and skin cancers, it also makes darkly pigmented skin more vulnerable to post-inflammatory dyspigmentation. The importance of these disorders is growing, as they form the major percentage of dermatology consultations. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical profile of patients with facial hyperpigmentation.Methods: The present cross-sectional hospital based observational study was conducted at Dermatology Department of during the period of June 2017 to December 2017 including patients with diagnosis of facial hyperpigmentation. Data analysed with SPSS 24 version.Results: 29% were from 21 to 30 years age group followed by 25% from 31 to 40 years age group. Mean age of ...

It has a sudden onset, and in its typical presentation, the eruption is proceeded by a solitary patch termed “herald patch”, mainly located on the trunk. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical profile of pityriasis rosea.Methods: The data was collected from patients attending the Department of Dermatology, Basaveshwar Teaching and General Hospital attached to Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College, Gulbarga. It is a descriptive observational study. A total 79 patients suffering from pityriasis rosea who attended the outpatient department were included in the present study during the period from 2006 to 2007.Results: Out of 79 patients studied, majority were from 11-20 years age group 33 (41.8%) followed by 27.8% from 21-30 years age group.

To date less than 30 cases have been reported. 1 It occurs on the limited areas of skin receiving prolonged friction and/or pressure by other parts of patient's skin. It was first reported by Padilha-Goncalves in 1977 and named "Traumatic anserine folliculosis" for the stressing aetiologic factor i.e. friction or pressure, the goose skin appearance and follicular location of the lesions. 2 Mehta in 1988 described similar condition in 6 females. 3 Presently, we are presenting a case series of Anserine Folliculosis.

Both sexes and all ages are susceptible to dermatophytoses. Amongst all, Tinea capitis is more common in prepubescent children whereas tinea cruris and tinea pedis are common in adult males. 1 Despite the fact that dermatophytosis takes place global, person dermatophyte species may additionally vary in their geographic distribution and self-virulence. Those problems cannot be differentiated by ethnicity or socioeconomic popularity; however poverty and overcrowded living conditions are important underlying social determinants. 2 Factors contributing to the high frequency and continual occurrences of dermatophytosis in developing nations may also consist of negative residing situations, kids interaction styles, and poor health looking for behavior. 3 Dermatophytes are fungal agents of dermatophytoses. Superficial mycoses of dermatophytoses are named after anatomic localization of the lesions. Dermatophytosis ABSTRACT Background: Although fungi are worldwide, only few of them are considered pathogenic. The pathogenic fungi may give rise to infections in animals and human beings. Skin infection due to dermatophytes has become a significant health problem of late equally affecting children, adolescents and adults. Depending on the climate and culture, the clinical picture can vary enormously. The objective of the study was to study the clinical and diagnostic spectrum of dermatophytosis at Dermatology OPD of KBNIMS, Kalaburagi. Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted in Dermatology OPD in teaching Hospital of North Karnataka. Results: Majority of the subjects were from 21 to 40 years age group i.e. 44.58% followed by 36.4% from 0 to 20 years age group. Out of 250 patients, majority were males i.e. 70.4% whereas 29.6% were females. More than half i.e. 174 (69.6%) out of 250 patients were KOH positive. Prevalence of culture positive specimen was found to be 40%. T. cruris (35%) and corporis (32%) were most common infections in our study. 31% of cases T. mentagrophyte was observed as most common isolate on culture.. Conclusions: In our study, most common dermatophytic infection was T. cruris (35%). Only 40% were culture positive and among which Trichophton mentagrophyte was commonly seen isolate. Low socioeconomic status, overcrowding and compromised personal hygiene with tropical climate are prevalent factors in our study.
