Jessner’s lymphocytic infi ltrate of the skin is a rare, benign cutaneous disorder. Diffi culty arises in differentiating it from cutaneous lymphoma on histology, thus requiring immunophenotying, however the literature lacks reports demonstrating malignant transformation or dual pathology. We present a case of Jessner’s lymphocytic infi ltrate who later presented with areas of cutaneous B-cell follicular lymphoma.

Background/Objective: Chronic urticaria is one of the most frequent skin diseases and still its etiology is recognized only in a minority of cases. Some recent studies point out to infections due to Helicobacter Pylori as being of major importance in the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria. This study aimed to fi nd out the association of chronic urticaria with H. pylori.

Background: Candidasis is the most common superfi cial fungal infection in immunocompromised patients. With the advent of wide spectrum of immunosuppressive drug and increase in HIV patients, there is a change in the epidemiology and clinical presentation of mucocutaneous candidiasis.

Background: Obesity is a major public health concern worldwide. Limited number of studies on the relationship between obesity and skin disease are available.

Curcumin, the active ingredient in the spice turmeric, has been used in many Eastern countries for its known anti-infl ammatory activity. Recently, analysis of multiple studies have cast doubt with regard to the effi cacy of oral curcumin in several diseases. While the effectiveness of oral curcumin is hindered by its low bioavailability and poor absorption by the oral route, this is not the case for topical curcumin. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms for its anti-infl ammatory and anti-apoptotic activity based on its inhibitory activity on the enzyme, phosphorylase kinase, and present evidence for its salutary effects on burns, wounds, surgical scars, photo-damaged skin and psoriasis.

Background: Tinea Corporis is a superfi cial fungal infection affecting 20-25% of the world’s population. Management involves using topical and oral antifungal drugs. Terbinafi ne has been used commonly for the treatment of tinea corporis to prevent the emergence of resistance combination of drugs is used. Hence, this study was designed to compare the safety and effi cacy of Sertaconazole and Amphotericin B when either is used with oral Terbinafi ne.

Introduction: The increase of both the frequency and severity of the bacterial dermohypodermitis (BDH) in Senegal suggests the existence of other risk factors outside of those classically known to be involved. Our study aimed to clarify the epidemiological, clinical and risk factors of BDH in Senegal.
