Abstract

Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (cutaneous PAN) is a form of necrotizing vasculitis of small- and medium-sized arteries, primarily involving the skin. In juvenile cases, cutaneous PAN is known to be frequently associated with Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GAS) infections. We herein describe the first reported juvenile case of GAS-associated recurrent cutaneous PAN successfully improved with tonsillectomy. To avoid the use of steroids and immunosuppressive drugs, especially in juvenile cases, tonsillectomy is a possible treatment for GAS-associated recurrent cutaneous PAN.

Abstract

Blau syndrome/early-onset sarcoidosis (Blau/EOS) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by granulomatous arthritis, uveitis, and skin rash. It has been shown that gain-of-function NOD2 mutations cause Blau/EOS. In this paper, we describe a patient with a gain-of-function NOD2 mutation who developed infantile Takayasu arteritis, which is rare in Blau/EOS, but who has not yet had significant granulomatous changes in joints, eyes, or skin. We suspect that this case is an unusual phenotype of Blau/EOS.

Abstract

Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (cutaneous PAN) is a form of necrotizing vasculitis of small- and medium-sized arteries, primarily involving the skin. In juvenile cases, cutaneous PAN is known to be frequently associated with Group A b-hemolytic Streptococcus (GAS) infections. We herein describe the first reported juvenile case of GAS-associated recurrent cutaneous PAN successfully improved with tonsillectomy. To avoid the use of steroids and immunosuppressive drugs, especially in juvenile cases, tonsillectomy is a possible treatment for GAS-associated recurrent cutaneous PAN. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
