Infantile hemangiomas: risk factors for complications, recurrence and unaesthet...
Mariani,Letícia Gaertner; Ferreira,Lílian Moraes; Rovaris,Diego Luiz; Bonamigo,Renan Rangel; Kiszewski,Ana ElisaAbstract Background: Infantile hemangiomas (IH) occur in approximately 4% to 10% of the pediatric population. The identification of clinical subtypes and conditions that indicate increased risk for complications is essential for therapeutic success. Objectives: To identify risk factors for complications, recurrence and unaesthetic sequelae. Methods: Retrospective cohort of patients with infantile hemangiomas un...
Gene panel for the diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa: proposal for a viable an...
Mariath,Luiza Monteavaro; Kiszewski,Ana Elisa; Frantz,Jeanine Aparecida; Siebert,Marina; Matte,Ursula; Schuler-Faccini,LavíniaAbstract Background: Epidermolysis bullosa is characterized by cutaneous fragility and blistering. Historically, diagnosis is achieved by immunofluorescence mapping or transmission electron microscopy, both involving biopsy procedures. Genetic analysis, especially through next-generation sequencing, is an important tool for the diagnosis of this disease. In Brazil, access to diagnostic methods is limited, and c...
Annular epidermolytic ichthyosis: a case report and literature review,
Mikilita,Emanuella Stella; Hernandez,Irina Paipilla; Boff,Ana Letícia; Kiszewski,Ana ElisaAbstract Annular epidermolytic ichthyosis is a rare subtype of epidermolytic ichthyosis that is characterized by erythematous, polycyclic, and migratory scaly plaques accompanied by palmoplantar keratoderma. This report presents the case of an 8-year-old girl who developed migratory, erythematous, scaly plaques associated with palmoplantar keratoderma. The initial hypothesis was erythrokeratodermia variabilis e...
Inherited epidermolysis bullosa: update on the clinical and genetic aspects,
Mariath,Luiza Monteavaro; Santin,Juliana Tosetto; Schuler-Faccini,Lavínia; Kiszewski,Ana ElisaAbstract Inherited epidermolysis bullosa is a group of genetic diseases characterized by skin fragility and blistering on the skin and mucous membranes in response to minimal trauma. Epidermolysis bullosa is clinically and genetically very heterogeneous, being classified into four main types according to the layer of skin in which blistering occurs: epidermolysis bullosa simplex (intraepidermal), junctional epi...
Multiple pilomatricomas in twins with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome,
Bueno,Ana Laura Andrade; de Souza,Maria Emilia Vieira; Graziadio,Carla; Kiszewski,Ana ElisaAbstract Pilomatricomas are benign tumors originating from the capillary matrix, which may present as solitary lesions or, less commonly, multiple. Myotonic dystrophy and familial adenomatous polyposis are the most frequently associated disorders with multiple pilomatricomas. There are few reports relating these tumors to other genetic syndromes. Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder c...
Dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum gypseum in infants: report of four cases ...
Souza,Beatriz da Silva; Sartori,Débora Sarzi; Andrade,Carin de; Weisheimer,Edna; Kiszewski,Ana ElisaAbstract Dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum gypseum is rare, especially in infants, with few published cases. Diagnosis in this age group is frequently delayed. We review the literature and report 4 new cases of tinea of glabrous skin caused by M. gypseum mimicking eczema in infants. Considering new and previously reported cases, half of patients were exposed to sand, emphasizing the importance of this trans...
Bromoderma in an infant
Hoefel,Isadora da Rosa; Camozzato,Fernanda Oliveira; Hagemann,Laura Netto; Rhoden,Deise Louise Bohn; Kiszewski,Ana ElisaAbstract Bromoderma is a cutaneous eruption caused by the absorption of bromide. Clinical manifestations include acneiform and vegetative lesions. We report the case of an infant with bromoderma caused by the use of syrup for abdominal colic containing calcium bromide. The lesions regressed after discontinuation of the drug.

Úlcera de Buruli
Boleira,Manuela; Lupi,Omar; Lehman,Linda; Asiedu,Kingsley Bampoe; Kiszewski,Ana ElisaA úlcera de Buruli, uma doença infecciosa causada pela Mycobacterium ulcerans (M. ulcerans),é a terceira micobacteriose em ocorrência, após a hanseníase e a tuberculose. Essa micobacteriose atípica tem sido relatada em mais de 30 países, principalmente, nos que têm climas tropicais e subtropicais, mas a sua epidemiologia permanece obscura. Recentemente, os primeiros casos autóctones do Brasil foram relatados, f...
