comparison of epidermis PT, FT, adult and significance
PT < FT < adult
increased permeability and water loss
comparison of dermis PT, FT, adult and significance
less collagen elastic fibers
PT < FT < adult
greater elasticity and tendency to blister
comparison of melanosomes PT, FT, adult and significance
PT < FT < adult
increased photosensitivity
comparison of eccrine glands PT, FT, adult and significance
PT = anhidrosis
FT = decreased activity for 1-7 d and neuro control at 3 years
comparison of sebaceous glands PT, FT, adult and significance
PT < FT < adult
comparison of hair PT, FT, adult and significance
PT = lanugo
FT = decreased terminal hair
comparison of SFA:volume PT, FT, adult and significance
PT > FT > adult
water loss
increased transcutaneous penetration
erythema toxicum confirmation
eosinophils on Wright staining
some have peripheral eosinophilia
stages of neonatal pustular melanosis
neonatal pustular melanosis confirmation
neutrophils by wright staining
miliaria confirmation
sparse squamous cells and lymphocytes by wright staining
what causes milia
small epidermal inclusion cysts - retension of keratin and sebaceous material
pathogenesis of neonatal acne
previously 2/2 androgens
now maybe malassezia
pathogenesis of infantile acne
sebaceous gland hyperplasia - androgen stimulation
onset of neonatal and infantile acne
2-3 weeks vs 3-4 months
treatment of neonatal and infantile acne
neonatal - none
infantile - may require treatment to prevent scarring; may need to evaluate for CAH
epidemiology of neonatal and infantile acne
neonatal 20%; M > F
infantile M>F
bullous impetigo
first few days
honey crusting
s. aureus
Tx = antibiotics
SSSS
exotoxin s.aureus (group 2 phage)
+ nikolsky
+/- conjunctivitis and nasal congestion
fluid is sterile
culture nasopharynx, conjunctiva, skin and blood
antibiotics
NO scarring
histology of bullous impetigo vs SSSS
BI =
intradermal bullae with PMNs
SSSS = no inflammatory cells on histology
separation of granular layer
types of epidermolysis bullosa
junctional
simplex = epidermolytic
dystrophic = dermolytic
comparison of scarring in EB types
J = atrophic
S = without
D = yes
etiology of EB types
J = dermal-epidermal junction
S = intra-epidermal blisters
D = intradermal blisters (type 7 collagen decreased; increased collagenase)
genetics of EB types
J = AR
S = AD
D = AR or AD
