Genital warts are common relative to other verrucous lesions of the anogenital region. Consideration of the differential diagnosis of verrucous anogenital lesions is necessary, however, to make a correct diagnosis consistently and to avoid futile, painful, and possibly traumatic attempts at treatment. In this report, I describe a child with a history suspicious for sexual abuse who was treated with inappropriate measures because of misdiagnosis of perianal lymphangioma circumscriptum as genital warts. The pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of lymphangioma is presented. CASE REPORT A 5-year-old Hispanic boy was referred by his pediatrician to the Dermatology Service with an eruption of red papules on the left buttock and perianal region.

Sterile neutrophilic folliculitis with vasculopathy is a rare entity histopathologically characterized by neutrophilic or suppurative and granulomatous folliculitis accompanied by a folliculocentric vasculopathy.1 It is described as a cutaneous manifestation of a systemic illness or infectious trigger, and its clinical features vary independently from the underlying medical illness.1 Prompt identification may uncover an underlying systemic disease. Due to the rarity of this clinical entity, there is a paucity of evidence regarding its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. We present a case of sterile neutrophilic folliculitis with vasculopathy in a 34-year-old male hospitalized for infective endocarditis.

Fever is a widely recognised presenting symptom of COVID-19. Consequently, other febrile illnesses may be difficult to distinguish from COVID-19—leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. One such illness is murine typhus, a fleaborne illness with worldwide distribution caused by Rickettsia typhi. It often presents with fever, headache and myalgia, all of which have been commonly reported with COVID-19. Although the disease is usually mild with a good prognosis, there have been reports of severe illness and death. I present a case of murine typhus in a young male who had 2 weeks of headaches and daily fevers during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was ultimately tested for murine typhus when his occupation as a dog trainer was queried, and he experienced resolution of symptoms after treatment with doxycycline. During this pandemic, clinicians must be vigilant of other febrile illnesses whose symptoms overlap with COVID-19.

This article considers whether the youth novels of Gie Laenen, a Flemish author who was convicted of the sexual abuse of teenage boys, can be read as a grooming tool for the way they offer positive literary models for a range of intimate (but not explicitly sexual) man-boy relationships. Surveying most of Laenen's published work, the discussion identifies three recurring narrative tropes and several paratextual elements that can be read as attempts to seduce young male readers into a receptive attitude towards intergenerational intimacies. However, the article also acknowledges that such a reading might obscure the reasons why young readers were attracted to Laenen's work, which would impoverish our understanding of the books’ complex seductive appeal.

Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder that has well established cutaneous features and typically affects women. However, isolated bilateral periorbital involvement is a rare clinical presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus, which may often delay the diagnosis and treatment. We report such a case in a 20-year-old male.
