Abstract

Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) rarely occurs under 10 years of age. GPP is typically characterized by an eruption of generalized pustules accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever for several days, malaise, and anorexia. Pustules are sterile, with a size of 2-3 mm, and spread over the trunk and extremities. This disease can be life-threatening; therefore, optimal therapy is required. Purpose: to report a rare case of GPP in childhood. Case: A 4-year-old girl with complaints of widespread red patches that spread to her neck, back, and hands, with red patches turning into streaks that are partially pus-filled and itchy. In almost all parts of the body, skin abnormalities were seen in the form of generalized erythematous plaques, well-defined borders, multiple pustules on the edges, and some plaques covered by thick scales and crusts. In the calculation of body surface area (BSA), the result is 44%, and in the calculation of generalized pustular psoriasis area and severity index (GPPASI), the result is 21.30. The patient was treated with combination topical therapy of 3% salicylic acid, desoximethasone cream 0.25%, momethasone cream 0.1% vaseline albume as emollients, and coal tar. Significant improvement was seen after 1 month of therapy. Discussion: GPP in children is a rare case. GPP is idiopathic and can be life-threatening. Until now, there has been no standard therapy that is considered the most effective and safe for children. Topical therapy may be an option.

Abstract

Livedoid Vasculitis (LV) is a thrombo-occlusive vasculopathy involving dermal vessels, especially in the lower extremities. Clinical symptoms of LV are chronic, recurrent, scarring, and painful purpuric ulcers. Diagnosing and providing therapy for LV is a challenge because there are no standard guidelines. We present clinical insights and diagnostic approaches on two cases of LV to improve early diagnosis and prevent misdiagnosis, which were confirmed based on history, dermatological examination, and skin biopsy. In the first case, it was a woman, 23 years old, who came with complaints of a blackish-red rash appearing on both legs. There were scars on several parts of the patient's legs, which felt painful, and the legs looked swollen. On histopathological examination, fibrin deposition in the vessel walls, endothelial proliferation, and intraluminal hyaline thrombin were found. In the second case, it was a man, 19 years old, who came with complaints of pain when walking accompanied by wounds on both lower legs. On histopathological examination, fibrin deposition in the vessel walls, endothelial proliferation, and intraluminal hyaline thrombin were found. The conclusion from the histopathology results was LV. After receiving therapy, both cases showed improvement: swelling in the legs was reduced, red and black rashes began to disappear, ulcers improved, pain decreased, and scars became blurred. These two cases provide examples of success in diagnosing LV. Being able to diagnose LV early and correctly is very important so that adequate therapy can be given and good outcomes can be achieved.
