Sporotrichoid Mycobacterium marinum infection in an elderly woman

We describe the case of an elderly woman who acquired a Mycobacterium marinum infection following skin exposure to the bacteria through a small wound on her right ring finger, obtained while preparing fish. The resultant sporotrichoid nodules of the right hand and the distal forearm, refractory to the initial therapy with doxycycline and rifampicin, were successfully treated with oral regimen of clarithromycin. \ua9 2015 by the article author(s)

Staphylococcus lugdunensis cutaneous infection with sporotrichoid distribution

We report the occurrence of Staphylococcus lugdunensis cutaneous infection with sporotrichoid distribution of the left lower limb of a 60-year-old man. Recent studies have confirmed that Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a significant pathogen in causing skin and soft tissue infections that usually manifest in abscesses, surgical wound infections, and cellulitis. It used to be considered a skin commensal bacteria, but if unrecognized it can lead to  fulminant endocarditis, meningitis, skin abscesses, peritonitis, and spondylodiscitis

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm: case series and a brief review of literature

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm is a very aggressive disease wich has been classified by the World Health Organization among \u201cacute myeloid leukemia and related precursor neoplasms\u201d in 2008. In aerly stages the skin is almost always the first affected site. Histological exam and immunophenotype are mandatory and necessary for the right diagnosis; its management is still a challenge. It is a rare (only 0.7% of cutaneous leukemia in western countries). Recently five patients affected by blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm came to our attention. They had different clinical manifestations at firts visit and diferent behaviour at the beginning, but they had the same immunohistochemical pattern and the same poor prognosis
