DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Lindy P. Fox, MD

I have no relevant conflicts of interest to disclose.

I will be discussing off-‐label uses of medica�ons.

Goals of this talk

  Present common morphologies that arise during inpa�ent consulta�ons

  Generate a working differen�al diagnosis

  Use cases to demonstrate key teaching points about diagnosis or management

Morbilliform

  Drug erup�on   Viral exanthem   Acute Gra� vs. Host Disease   Erup�on of lymphocyte recovery   Engra�ment syndrome   Toxic erythema of chemotherapy   Toxin mediated erythema   RARE: disseminated histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, coccidioidomycosis

Acute GVHD

  Timing (average 25d) – Hyperacute (within first 14 d post HSCT)

  Morbilliform erup�on – Perifollicular accentua�on – Acral distribu�on

  Ears, hands, periungual areas

  Associated nausea, vomi�ng, diarrhea, hyperbilirubinemia

Viral Reac�va�on and GVHD

  HHV6 appears to play a role in poten�a�ng acute and chronic GVHD – Associated with poorer outcome

  CMV seroposi�vity in donor or recipient is associated with cGVHD

  EBV, HHV7 may occur in the post transplant se�ng, but has NOT been shown to be associated with GVHD

Weenig. J Am Acad Dermatol 2008;58:458-71

Calciphylaxis = cutaneous “MI” Implications for treatment

  Ca2+, PO4, PTH- sodium thiosulfate, cinacalcet, lanthanum, bisphosphonates, parathyroidectomy, etc   NEED TO ADDRESS THROMBUS- tPA   Warfarin with caution, if at all

  Inhibits activation of matrix G1a protein (Vitamin K dependent protein that inhibits vascular calcification)   Reduced functional protein C levels in ESRD patients with calciphylaxis (normal in ESRD without calciphylaxis)   Cases of warfarin induced calciphylaxis reported

Hypersensi�vity Reac�ons   “DRESS”-‐ Drug reac�on w/ eosinophilia and systemic symptoms   “DIHS”= Drug induced hypersensi�vity syndrome   Begins 2-‐ 6 weeks a�er medica�on started   Viral reac�va�on (esp HHV6) appears to play a real role

  Long term toxici�es include: –  Thyroid-‐ check TSH monthly for 6 months –  Cardiac-‐ low EF, give pa�ents ER warnings

Hypersensi�vity Reac�ons   Each class of drug causes a slightly different clinical picture   Facial edema characteris�c of all   An�convulsants:

Inpa�ent Dermatology From Morphology to Management

1.  Morbilliform 2.  Papules/Papulonodules 3.  Celluli�c plaques 4.  Palpable purpura 5.  Re�form Purpura 6.  Sclerodermoid 7.  Subcutaneous nodules 8.  Necro�c papules/plaques 9.  Ulcers 10.  Vesiculobullous 11.  Pustules 12.  Erythema, macular (acute) 13.  Erythroderma, subacute to chronic 14.  Erythroderma, erosive 15.  Ulcers, oral and genital



HHV6 plays a role in GVHD and hypersensi�vity drug erup�ons



“Purple Plumb”:   Lymphoma   Kaposi Sarcoma   Bacillary angiomatosis   Melanoma   Cutaneous metastasis



Celluli�s is a common presenta�on of cryptococcosis in the immunosuppressed pa�ent



The cutaneous reac�on to cytarabine may mimic vasculi�s



Levamisole exposure classically presents with concomitant vasculi�s and thrombosis

Inpa�ent Dermatology From Morphologies to Management


Paraffinomas may develop many years a�er ini�al exposure and may travel to non-‐injected areas

Inpa�ent Dermatology From Morphologies to Management


Rule out TB before making a defini�ve diagnosis of PAN



When trea�ng calciphylaxis address Ca2+/PO4 and thrombus



Chronic HSV is common in immunosuppressed, bedridden pa�ents



Drug-‐induced linear IgA disease may be mucosal predominant



Disseminated candidiasis presents as purpura with pale, pustular centers



Eosinophilia is a common finding in toxin mediated erythemas



Watch for late cardiac involvement in pa�ents with drug hypersensi�vity



Toxic erythema of chemotherapy is a rare cause of widespread cutaneous necrosis



More than one infec�on or e�ology may account for the clinical picture, especially in immunocompromised pa�ents

Inpa�ent Dermatology Rules to Live By

  If more than one morphology is present, work up each one separately

  Most cases require some degree of clinicopathologic correla�on

  Think of the zebras-‐ this is how you will make the rare diagnosis
