Article Abstract
According to previous studies, the increased risk of cutaneous infectious disorders in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is related to impaired epidermal function, abnormal systemic immune function, and lower antimicrobial peptides. In this study, we analyzed the association between AD and cutaneous infectious disorders in the real world using sequential pattern mining (SPM). We analyzed National Health Insurance data from 2010-2013 using SPM to identify comorbid cutaneous infectious diseases and the onset durations of comorbidities. Patients with AD were at greater risk for molluscum contagiosum (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 5.273), impetigo (aOR, 2.852), chickenpox (aOR, 2.251), otitis media (aOR, 1.748), eczema herpeticum (aOR, 1.292), and viral warts (aOR, 1.105). In SPM analysis, comorbidity of 1.06% shown in molluscum contagiosum was the highest value, and the duration of 77.42 days documented for molluscum contagiosum was the shortest onset duration among all the association rules. This study suggests that AD is associated with an increased risk of cutaneous infectious disorders. In particular, care should be taken regarding its high relevance with impetigo, molluscum contagiosum, and otitis media, which may help in preventing AD from worsening through appropriately preventing and managing the condition.

Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis: A Case Report.
Cureus

Internal Medicine, Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, Mexico City, MEX.
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare, potentially severe cutaneous adverse reaction characterized by the rapid onset of numerous small, sterile pustules on edematous erythema, commonly accompanied by systemic symptoms such as high-grade fever and neutrophilic leukocytosis. AGEP is most frequently triggered by medications, especially antibiotics, though infections and other exposures can also be causative. We report the case of a previously healthy 27-year-old male patient who developed a febrile pustular eruption with systemic involvement.

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. Disease phenotypes are heterogenous, and diagnosis is frequently delayed. Treatment is often challenging, and international guidelines recommend consultation with experts.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction that presents with pustular lesions with underlying edematous and erythematous skin, accompanied by fever, leukocytosis, and neutrophilia. It is characterized by an abrupt onset, usually 24-48 hours after the inciting trigger. The incidence of AGEP is an uncommon skin reaction that is primarily seen in female patients.

Introduction: Cutaneous manifestations in adult-onset immunodeficiency (AOID) resulting from anti-interferon-gamma autoantibody (AIGA) are prevalent and can be classified into infective and reactive disorders. To date, no clinical studies have specifically examined pustular reaction in patients with AOID. This study aimed to provide an original characterization of the clinical manifestations associated with pustular reaction in AOID and to compare these features with those observed in a clinically similar entity, generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP).

Infections are increasingly recognised as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome. We conducted a systematic review to characterise the infectious burden of VEXAS syndrome and propose preventive strategies. We included 57 studies (813 patients) showing that infections in patients with VEXAS syndrome were frequent, severe in 40-60% of cases, and fatal in 6-15% of cases.
