Summary Background During isotretinoin treatment, special attention is required to detect any symptom or change in the mental health of patients. The monitoring is complex for adolescents because of confounding factors such as mood changes associated with adolescence and puberty and the higher psychosocial impairment due to the acne itself. Aim To determine the utility of the Adolescent Depression Rating Scale (ADRS) for monitoring symptoms in adolescents before and during isotretinoin treatment in dermatology real-life practice. Methods This was a national, multicentre prospective study that enrolled a random sample of dermatologists treating adolescents. An algorithm including ADRS score and its changes between consecutive visits was used. At each visit, dermatologists rated their satisfaction with ADRS and its ease of use, while patients rated the acceptability of the ADRS. Results In total, 70 dermatologists used the algorithm for 1227 visits of 283 adolescents receiving isotretinoin. Of these 70 dermatologists, 80.8% were satisfied/very satisfied with the ADRS, 82.7% considered the use of the ADRS in clinical practice to be easy/very easy and 75% considered that the ADRS enabled them to discuss more easily the risk of depression with their patients. For the patients, acceptability of the ADRS was considered good by 93.8%. Conclusions The implementation of the ADRS could be valuable in dermatology practice, optimizing the monitoring of patients and the good use of isotretinoin.

International audience; Background: Epidermal necrolysis is a rare and severe cutaneous adverse reaction to drugs with long-term somatic consequences and potentially underrecognized psychological complications.Objectives: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) in a population of adults undergoing psychiatric evaluation.Methods: In this prospective study, we included adult patients admitted at the acute phase of SJS/TEN to our dermatology department from June 2009 to February 2013. The main objective was to assess the prevalence of PTSD at 6 months after the acute disease phase, defined by a PTSD Checklist score > 44. Secondary objectives were to investigate risk factors of PTSD in the medical history of patients and characteristics of the disease at the acute phase by the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experience Questionnaire (PDEQ) and Peritraumatic Distress Inventory (PDI) and the degree of impairment on the Sheehan Disability Scale.Results: We initially included 32 of 80 patients admitted during the study period. At 6 months, seven of 30 still followed up had a PTSD Checklist score > 44, suggesting a PTSD prevalence of 23%; 23 (77%) patients had a hydroxyzine prescription at the acute phase. The main risk factors associated with PTSD at 6 months were psychological results at the acute phase.Conclusions: Despite frequent prescription of hydroxyzine at the acute phase, almost one-quarter of patients with SJS/TEN had PTSD at 6 months. A systematic psychiatric evaluation should be offered regularly for at least 1 year after the acute disease phase.

Resume Introduction La fasciite de Shulman, ou fasciite a eosinophiles (FE), est une pathologie rare caracterisee par un œdeme des extremites d’evolution sclereuse et une hypereosinophilie frequente. Elle peut etre dans certains cas associee a une hemopathie (en particulier une aplasie medullaire), un cancer solide ou une maladie auto-immune. Elle n’est generalement pas associee aux granulomatoses inflammatoires. Observation Nous rapportons le cas d’un patient de 80 ans qui presentait un œdeme bilateral des membres inferieurs evoluant vers une sclerose, evocateur de fasciite de Shulman, associe a la presence de granulomes cutanes et ganglionnaires. L’evolution etait favorable sous traitement par prednisone orale. Discussion L’association FE et granulomatose inflammatoire est rare. Le cas de notre patient montre qu’une reaction granulomateuse peut exister au cours de la fasciite de Shulman.

Introduction L’infection a Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) est peu prevalente dans la population generale (1 a 3 %) et tres frequemment asymptomatique. La mise sur le marche de PCR multiplex pourrait favoriser le depistage systematique, lequel n’est pas recommande en raison d’une augmentation des resistances de MG a l’azithromycine. L’objectif de cette etude est de dresser un etat des lieux de la recherche d’infection a MG dans un centre francais n’utilisant pas de PCR multiplex, en caracterisant la population atteinte (MG + ) et les traitements entrepris, ainsi que leur efficacite. Materiel et methodes Etude preliminaire retrospective monocentrique au centre de pathologie genitale et des infections sexuellement transmises (IST) du service de dermatologie de l’hopital Saint-Louis - Paris, entre janvier et decembre 2017. Les variables demographiques, conditions de depistage et modalites de traitement des patients ayant eu un test de depistage d’infection a MG ont ete recueillies et des analyses statistiques effectuees a l’aide des tests de Fisher et de Student. Resultats Quarante-six patients etaient depistes pour MG, majoritairement des hommes (n = 43, 93 %) ; l’âge median etait de 31 ans (extremes : 20–64). Quatorze hommes (30 %) declaraient avoir des rapports homosexuels, 24 (52 %) heterosexuels et 4 (9 %) bisexuels. Trois patients (7 %) etaient seropositifs pour le VIH. Cinq patients (11 %) avaient un depistage systematique de MG sans symptome renseigne, dont 2 avec partenaire MG+. Trois patients (7 %) avaient un ou une partenaire MG+. Tous les autres patients (MG−, n = 41, 89 %) avaient des symptomes a type de brulure, ecoulement, douleur ou prurit. La recherche de MG etait effectuee en premiere intention dans le centre, concomitamment a la recherche de Neisseria gonorrhoeae et Chlamydia trachomatis, chez 19 patients (41 %). Sept patients (15 %) avaient un test positif, 4 sur 1er jet d’urines, 2 sur prelevement genital (uretral et cervico-vaginal) et 1 anal. Aucune co-infection n’etait notee, hormis un patient seropositif pour le VIH. Un patient avait un partenaire MG+. Cinq etaient traites par azithromycine 5 jours, 1 par moxifloxacine 10 jours et 1 patiente perdue de vue n’a pas ete traitee. Quatre patients ont eu un test de controle, toujours negatif, au moins 4 semaines apres traitement. Il n’y avait pas de difference significative entre les patients MG+ et MG− concernant le sexe, l’âge, l’orientation sexuelle, le nombre de partenaires par an et la seropositivite VIH. Conclusion Les donnees recueillies sont conformes aux recommandations des societes savantes et du Centre national de reference des infections a mycoplasmes. Peu de patients asymptomatiques ont eu une recherche de MG, qui etait effectuee majoritairement en seconde intention. L’azithromycine 5 jours etait le principal traitement. Il n’y avait pas de caracteristique demographique differente entre les groupes MG+ et MG−. Une analyse complementaire des donnees incluant l’annee 2018 est en cours.

Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare condition characterized by swelling of the extremities, sclerodermatous evolution and frequent hypereosinophilia. Hematological disorders, including aplastic anemia, solid tumors and autoimmune diseases, may be associated with EF. EF is usually not associated with granulomatous diseases.Herein we describe the case of an 80-year-old man with symmetrical swelling and sclerosis of the legs, typical of EF, associated with skin and lymph node granulomas. Oral prednisone treatment resulted in complete clinical remission.Association of EF and granulomatous disease is uncommon. Our case highlights the possible association of EF with sarcoidosis-like reactions.

Dermatology - Abstract
Introduction Le KICS (KSHV Inflammatory Cytokine Syndrome) associe fievre, anasarque, polyadenopathie, hepatosplenomegalie, bicytopenie, hypoalbuminemie et syndrome inflammatoire biologique dans un contexte d’infection a HHV8, sans maladie de Castelman multicentrique (MCD) associee. Les patients decrits jusqu’ici etaient tous infectes par le VIH. Nous rapportons le premier cas de KICS chez un patient VIH negatif presentant une MK. Observations Un homme tunisien de 50 ans, VIH negatif, avec un retard mental, un diabete de type 2 et une hepatite B chronique, presentait depuis l’âge de 36 ans une maladie de Kaposi endemique avec atteinte cutanee, digestive, puis osseuse par contiguite (pied). De 2005 a 2015, il avait recu de multiples lignes therapeutiques : interferon alpha pegyle, doxorubicine liposomale, paclitaxel, avec echappement secondaire puis lenalidomide, bleomycine, ribavirine, radiochimiotherapie (taxol) et etoposide. Debut 2016, un choc septique sur une lesion de MK cutanee du pied droit imposait une amputation transtibiale. Le patient developpait rapidement un tableau d’anasarque avec ascite et epanchement pleural, alteration de l’etat general, diarrhee, anemie a 7 g/dl, hyponatremie, hypoalbuminemie a 12 g/L, CRP a 210 g/L, charge virale HHV8 sanguine a 4,05 log/ml, sans argument pour une MCD. Le patient est rapidement decede malgre trois cures de vinblastine (Fig. 1). Discussion Notre patient repondait aux criteres du KICS avec au moins 2 manifestations parmi fievre, asthenie, œdemes, cachexie, symptomes respiratoires, perturbations gastro-intestinales, arthro-myalgies, trouble mental, neuropathie, anemie, thrombopenie, hypoalbuminemie, hyponatremie ; adenopathies/organomegalie/anasarque prouves radiologiquement et tous les criteres suivants : CRP a plus de 3 g/dL, charge virale plasmatique HHV8 a plus de 1000 copies/mL, absence d’argument pour une MCD. Contrairement a notre cas, tous les patients rapportes a ce jour etaient seropositifs VIH, bien que ce dernier critere ne fasse pas partie de la definition du KICS. Le KICS a un mauvais pronostic avec une mediane de survie de 13,6 mois contrastant avec les donnees connues dans la MK endemique. La physiopathologie du KICS est discutee, manifestation prodromique d’une maladie de Castleman ou existence de polymorphismes genetiques HHV8 particuliers aux MCD et aux KICS. Ces polymorphismes portent sur des sequences HHV8 codant pour des microARN impliques dans l’activation de la replication lytique du virus HHV8. Le role d’un deficit immunitaire specifique d’HHV8 ne peut etre exclu et notre malade avait une presentation inhabituelle de MK endemique, âge de debut jeune, atteinte viscerale symptomatique. Conclusion Notre cas suggere que le KICS peut s’observer meme en l’absence d’infection VIH et que sa survenue depend surtout de l’activite de la MK, elle-meme liee a l’immunosuppression sous-jacente.

Dermatology - Abstract
Introduction Les anticorps anti-PD1 (APD) ont bouleverse la prise en charge du melanome metastatique, permettant d’obtenir une mediane de survie superieure a 24 mois. Cependant, la PFS a 2 ans est d’environ 30 %, traduisant un echappement chez beaucoup de patients pour lesquels il existe aujourd’hui peu de donnees demographiques et de reponse aux strategies ulterieures. C’est le but de ce travail effectue a partir de la cohorte MelBase. Materiel et methodes MelBase, base de donnees clinicobiologique labellisee INCA (25 centres), est dediee au suivi prospectif de patients avec melanome avance naifs de tout traitement systemique non adjuvant. Depuis mars 2013, 914 ont ete inclus. Les donnees de 195 patients traites par APD au 31/12/15 ont ete extraites (06/06/16) parmi lesquels 36 patients ont echappe apres avoir ete controles (reponse complete, partielle, stable) par les APD. Leurs donnees ont ete analysees a l’initiation des APD (g1, n = 36) et a l’echappement (g2, n = 36) en termes demographique, de strategies therapeutiques apres progression et de survie. Resultats Les donnees demographiques sont presentees dans le Tableau 1. On note, comme attendu, dans la population du g2 des patients de pronostic plus defavorable (LDH, metastases cerebrales) mais dont 89 % gardent un bon etat general (ECOG 0,1). Le delai entre le J1 de traitement par APD et la progression est en mediane de 6 (4 ; 8) mois. Le delai entre la 1 re reponse aux APD et la progression est en mediane de 3 (2 ; 6) mois. Les patients recoivent, apres progression en mediane, 1 ligne de traitement systemique (1–3). De facon interessante, on note 28 % de reponse a la ligne therapeutique suivante et 61 % de taux de controle. Dans les strategies postprogression, 20 patients poursuivent le meme APD (dont 2 en bitherapie avec cobimetinib ou temodal) ; 2 patients arretent l’APD et recoivent de l’ipilimumab, 4 une association d’anti-BRAF et anti-MEK, 5 une chimiotherapie. Parmi les patients sous chimiotherapies, 2 sont repondeurs et encore sous traitement (a 5 et 6 mois) et 3 sont decedes (a 3, 3,5 et 6 mois). Cinq parmi les 36 progresseurs sous APD ne recoivent pas de traitement dans les deux mois qui suivent l’arret de l’APD, dont un qui decede rapidement. La mediane de survie globale du groupe 2 n’est pas atteinte (Fig. 1). Discussion Notre etude suggere que la progression post-APD selectionne des patients un peu plus graves (LDH, metastases cerebrales) qu’en premiere ligne mais en bon etat general et susceptibles de repondre a des lignes ulterieures beaucoup mieux et plus durablement qu’attendu, notamment aux chimiotherapies usuelles. Conclusion Nous aimerions poursuivre ce travail en augmentant la taille de la population developpant une resistance secondaire aux APD et le recul postprogression et en etudiant les mecanismes moleculaires de ces echappements. Nous souhaitons aussi analyser les facteurs predictifs de rechute et de longue reponse aux anti-PD1.

To examine the relation between stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF).In 57 eyes of 30 patients who were referred for Doppler ultrasound examination of the ICA we measured POBF and analysed the correlation with degree of ipsilateral ICA stenosis.There was a significant negative correlation between POBF and ipsilateral ICA stenosis (Pearson correlation coefficient, r=-0.516, p0.0001). In 14 eyes POBF could not be measured by the OBF tonometer, and in 11 of these cases (79%) severe stenosis (75%) of the ipsilateral ICA was present. When these eyes were excluded from analysis, there was no correlation between POBF and ICA stenosis (r=-0.02, p=0.91). Among these 43 eyes in which POBF could be measured it ranged 667-2095 microl/min with a mean of 970.72 microl/min.Low or unrecordable POBF may signify severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery. POBF is not a direct reflection of ipsilateral ICA blood flow.

Background: Epidermal necrolysis is a rare and severe cutaneous adverse reaction to drugs with long-term somatic consequences and potentially underrecognized psychological complications., Objectives: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) in a population of adults undergoing psychiatric evaluation., Methods: In this prospective study, we included adult patients admitted at the acute phase of SJS/TEN to our dermatology department from June 2009 to February 2013. The main objective was to assess the prevalence of PTSD at 6 months after the acute disease phase, defined by a PTSD Checklist score > 44. Secondary objectives were to investigate risk factors of PTSD in the medical history of patients and characteristics of the disease at the acute phase by the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experience Questionnaire (PDEQ) and Peritraumatic Distress Inventory (PDI) and the degree of impairment on the Sheehan Disability Scale., Results: We initially included 32 of 80 patients admitted during the study period. At 6 months, seven of 30 still followed up had a PTSD Checklist score > 44, suggesting a PTSD prevalence of 23%; 23 (77%) patients had a hydroxyzine prescription at the acute phase. The main risk factors associated with PTSD at 6 months were psychological results at the acute phase., Conclusions: Despite frequent prescription of hydroxyzine at the acute phase, almost one-quarter of patients with SJS/TEN had PTSD at 6 months. A systematic psychiatric evaluation should be offered regularly for at least 1 year after the acute disease phase., (© 2018 British Association of Dermatologists.)

- Abstract
Background: Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare condition characterized by swelling of the extremities, sclerodermatous evolution and frequent hypereosinophilia. Hematological disorders, including aplastic anemia, solid tumors and autoimmune diseases, may be associated with EF. EF is usually not associated with granulomatous diseases., Case Report: Herein we describe the case of an 80-year-old man with symmetrical swelling and sclerosis of the legs, typical of EF, associated with skin and lymph node granulomas. Oral prednisone treatment resulted in complete clinical remission., Discussion: Association of EF and granulomatous disease is uncommon. Our case highlights the possible association of EF with sarcoidosis-like reactions., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Aim: To examine the relation between stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF)., Methods: In 57 eyes of 30 patients who were referred for Doppler ultrasound examination of the ICA we measured POBF and analysed the correlation with degree of ipsilateral ICA stenosis., Results: There was a significant negative correlation between POBF and ipsilateral ICA stenosis (Pearson correlation coefficient, r=-0.516, p<0.0001). In 14 eyes POBF could not be measured by the OBF tonometer, and in 11 of these cases (79%) severe stenosis (>75%) of the ipsilateral ICA was present. When these eyes were excluded from analysis, there was no correlation between POBF and ICA stenosis (r=-0.02, p=0.91). Among these 43 eyes in which POBF could be measured it ranged 667-2095 microl/min with a mean of 970.72 microl/min., Conclusion: Low or unrecordable POBF may signify severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery. POBF is not a direct reflection of ipsilateral ICA blood flow.
