 Folliculitis of an eyelash

Furuncle (boil)
 Abscess; pus surrounded
by inflamed tissue

Abscess
 Inflammation of tissue
under the skin,
accumulation of pus,
walled off

Also known as
Ritter’s disease
 Phage encoded
toxin (SSST)

channels are blocked
by shedded cells


 Propionibacterium
acnes
▪ Gram + rods

13

Pathogenesis
 P. acnes utilizes glycerol in sebum and
produces fatty acids (fermentation!)
 Fatty acids are pro-inflammatory
 Neutrophils are attracted further contributing
to inflammation

Treatment
 benzoyl peroxide (antiseptic, dries out acne
lesions)
 Antibiotics (erythromycin, clindamycin)
 Isotretinoin (reduces sebum production,
TERATOGENIC, 30% of newborns with severe
damage)


Recurrence as Shingles

peripheral nerves to skin


skin)

Rare complication

 Macular rash with raised spots and
Koplik's spots in oral mucosa

trunk and extremities
 Prevented by vaccination
 Encephalitis in 1 in 1000 cases
 Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
in 1 in 1,000,000 cases

23
Rubella virus
Macular (not raised)
rash and light fever
 Congenital rubella
syndrome causes
severe fetal damage
(heart, eyes, hearing,
mental)
 Prevented by
vaccination


24
Ranked as fifth disease in a
1905 list of skin rashes

 Fades slowly away
25

sore throat, and cough. He also has a macular rash
on his trunk, face, and arms. A throat culture was
negative for Streptococcus pyogenes. The boy most

a. Streptococcal sore throat.
b. Measles.
c. Rubella.
d. Smallpox.
e. None of the above.

▪ Topical miconazol
▪ Systemic fluconazol

seams of mattresses
Wash clothes and bedding in
hot, soapy water to kill
bedbugs and their larvae

Major opportunistic pathogens causing skin
lesions are staphylococci and streptococci
causing infections with pus
 Viral infections are often transmitted via aerosol
followed by viremia and skin cell infection with a
generalized exanthem
 Conjunctivitis is the most common eye infection
