Bullous pemphigoid occurs rarely in children. Bean and Jordan1 found only eight cases reported as of 1974 and the youngest of these patients was 2 years of age. Presented here is the case of a 3½-month-old infant who developed this disease. CASE REPORT A 3½-month-old boy developed a progressively spreading bullous eruption (Fig. 1 and 2). Within a week the hands and feet were covered with large, tense bullae lying on a base of erythema, and scattered vesicles appeared on the back of the neck, the trunk, and the rims of the ears. There were no oral lesions. The child was fussy and irritable but had no fever.

ABSTRACT Dyshidrotic bullous pemphigoid is a rare form of bullous pemphigoid that affects predominantly a patient’s hands and feet. It has been associated in the literature with neurologic, psychiatric and cerebrovascular disorders. We present an interesting case of this rare skin condition developing in a patient following a diagnosis of partial anterior circulation stroke.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune bullous disease characterized by subepithelial blistering mostly affecting elderly but may be seen in all ages. A 52-year-old female patient came with a chief complaint of itching, redness and ulcer in the hands and oral cavity for the past 2 weeks. The examination revealed ulcer- ated lesions in palate and buccal mucosa. Erythematous lesions were also seen in upper limb. Incisional biopsy was done and histological examination revealed bullous pemphigoid. The patient was immediately started with systemic and topical steroids and was continued for 3 weeks. The extra-oral lesions were healed and intraoral ulcerations subsided after 3 weeks.

Context: Neurological manifestations of Sars-CoV-2 are progressively emerging. Cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome and its variants, with onset about 5-10 days after influenza symptoms, have been described. This paper reports a case of polyneuropathy with onset 90 days after a sore throat episode and persistence of IgM positivity in serology for Sars- Cov-2. We aim to raise awareness of this possibility. Case Report: A 56-year-old male, hypertensive, presented with sore throat on April 21, 2020. Serology for Covid-19 was performed with positive IgM. There was complete improvement of the symptom. At the end of July, he started a symmetrical paresthesia in the feet with ascension to the knees and, on August 20, paresthesia in the hands too. So, he went to IAMSPE (SP) and tactile and painful hypoesthesia in hands and feet, hypopalesthesia in lower limbs, a fall in the lower limbs upon Mingazzini’s maneuver, global hyporeflexia and talon gait were found. Just the following tests were changed: second Covid-19 serology IgM and IgG positives; ENMG: sensory motor polyneuropathy, primarily axonal, with signs of chronicity and without signs of acute denervation in the current. Started gabapentin and physical therapy. Patient still has paresthesia in hands and feet, but with partial improvement. Conclusion: This case alerts to neurological symptoms of Covid-19 in the medium and long term.

Defined as a rare type I acrocephalosyndactyly syndrome which is clinically characterized by dysmorphic facial features, craniosynostosis, and severe syndactyly of the hands and feet, Apert Syndrome represents an autosomal dominant inheritance which occurs due to the gene mutations in the receptors of the fibroblast growth factor. Oral lesions include tooth crowding, reduction in the size of the maxilla, impacted teeth, anterior open-bite, ectopic eruption, delayed eruption, thick gingiva and supernumerary teeth. The present case report describes a 58 year old female patient reported with the features of Apert’s syndrome such as dysmorphic facial features, occular anomalies, syndactyly and oral features. The case was referred to a specialized centre of clinical care for further treatment.
