Mycobacterium marinum is a nontuberculous mycobacteria with worldwide distribution that lives in fresh or salt water and is responsible for infections in fish, and sometimes in humans. Human disease consists mainly of cutaneous nodules, but deep structure involvement may also occur. Diagnosis of M. marinum infection remains a challenge, with a considerable time delay between […]

The abrupt development of multiple melanocytic nevi has been described in association with many conditions, including human immunodeficiency virus infection. We report three cases of eruptive nevi in men with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection. One patient developed this phenomenon during the stage of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The other two patients had human immunodeficiency […]

Molluscum contagiosum eyelid lesions in an HIV-patient

  • Autores: Borges-Costa J, Massa AF, Sacramento-Marques M, Soares-Almeida L
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013
  • Journal: Dermatology Online Journal
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23374952

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) lesions on the face are mainly observed in HIV patients and are related to low CD4 cells counts. We report a 41-year-old female patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus who had a CD4 count of 22 cells/mm³. She developed molluscum contagiosum lesions at the right upper eyelid. Skin biopsy was performed to exclude other serious conditions, such as dimorphic fungal infections.

An atypical case of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum in Portugal

  • Autores: Borges-Costa J, Campino L, Filipe P, Lopes L, Soares-Almeida L, Vasconcelos P
  • Journal: Dermatology Online Journal
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24314782

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by an intracellular protozoan that belongs to the genus Leishmania and is transmitted by a phlebotomine sandfly. In Southwest Europe, including Portugal, cutaneous leishmaniasis is considered a rare disease of unknown or underestimated prevalence. Leishmania infantum is the only species identified as responsible for the autochthonous cases.
