• bullous impetigo
  5 February 2006

  Desmosomal cadherins are the pathophysiologic targets of autoimmune or toxin-mediated disruption in the human diseases pemphigus and bullous impetigo, including its generalized form, called staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS).
  Conformational epitopes of antidesmoglein autoantibodies in pemphigus patients sera and the specific cleavage site of desmoglein-1 (DSG1) by exfoliative toxin have been identified, implicating the N-terminal extracellular domains of the desmogleins as (...)

• anthrax
  3 April 2005

  There are three major anthrax syndromes: cutaneous, inhalational, and gastrointestinal anthrax. Cutaneous anthrax, which makes up 95% of naturally occurring infections, begins as a painless, pruritic papule that develops into a vesicle within 2 days.
  As the vesicle enlarges, striking edema may form around it, and there is regional lymphadenopathy. After the vesicle ruptures, the remaining ulcer becomes covered with a characteristic black eschar, which dries and falls off as the patient (...)
