Prevalence of xerosis, eczema, and hair and Nail abnormalities in PLWHA in Cotonou, Benin.
International journal of dermatology, 2020Co-Authors: F Atadokpede, H Adegbidi, J J Sehonou, C Koudoukpo, D M Houenassi, H G Yedomon, F Do Ango-padonouAbstract:The objective of this investigation was to study the prevalence of xerosis, eczema, and hair and Nail abnormalities in PLWHA in Cotonou. A retrospective study was performed on the records of PLWHA in Cotonou. All PLWHA with xerosis, eczema, or abnormal appendages were included. Forty-seven patients had xerosis or eczema. Their mean age was 38 years; the sex ratio 0.51 and the mean CD4 count 89 cells/mm(3). Twenty-three patients had xerosis, which affected the whole body (n = 20), lower limb (n = 2), limbs and trunk (n = 1), without gender difference. Twenty-four patients had eczema of which eight had both eczema and xerosis. Forty-two patients had abnormalities of the hair or Nails. Their sex ratio was 0.80 and the mean CD4 count 110 cells/mm(3) . Nineteen patients had abnormalities of the hair and scalp: straight hair (n = 16), squamous lesions (n = 2), and folliculitis abscess (n = 1) with a male predominance. Twenty-three patients had Nail dermatophytosis (n = 15), candidiasis (n = 7), and ingrowing Nails (n = 1). These conditions affected more often women (74%) than men (26%). The prevalence of eczema and xerosis is low in our patients. Onychomycosis was the most frequent Nail Abnormality. © 2012 The International Society of Dermatology.

Epidermal hamartoma presenting as longitudinal pachyleukonychia: A new Nail genodermatosis
Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 1996Co-Authors: G Moulin, R Baran, C PerrinAbstract:Abstract Background: Epidermal hamartomas involving the Nail apparatus are uncommon. Objective: Our purpose was to define the clinical, genetic, and histologic features of a unique Nail Abnormality. Methods: We examined eight members of three generations who presented with an unusual Nail Abnormality, longitudinal pachyleukonychia, as a sole characteristic that appeared between the ages of 9 and 30 years. One Nail was examined histologically. Results: Histologic examination showed pronounced hyperplasia of the Nail bed with papillomatosis. Cell nests of a sebaceous type were included in the epithelial digitations. This dysplasia was not accompanied by abnormalities affecting skin, hair, teeth, or sweat glands. Conclusion: This unique epidermal hamartoma appears to be inherited as an autosomal dominant condition.

Psoriatic Nails: A Prospective Clinical Study
Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery: Incorporating Medical and Surgical Dermatology, 2003Co-Authors: Joanna Salomon, Jacek C Szepietowski, Alina ProniewiczAbstract:Background: Psoriasis is a widespread skin disorder in which Nail involvement is a common symptom. Many psoriatic patients have Nail changes morphologically resembling onychomycosis. Objective: The present study was undertaken (1) to evaluate the frequency of Nail involvement in psoriatic patients, (2) to assess the types of Nail changes in psoriasis, (3) to find eventual relationships between Nail involvement and some clinical parameters, and finally (4) to determine the prevalence of fungal Nail infections in psoriatic individuals. Material and Methods: One hundred six patients hospitalized in our department due to exacerbation of psoriasis participated in the study. Each patient underwent dermatologic examination with special attention paid to the Nail changes. In any case of abnormalities clinically suspected of fungal infection, further mycological investigations were performed. Results: Nail changes were present in 83 patients (78.3%) with psoriasis. The most common Nail Abnormality observed on both fingerNails and toeNails was subungual hyperkeratosis. Hyperkeratosis, onychorrexis, and discoloration of Nail plates were observed significantly more often on toeNails. Pitting and longitudinal ridges were significantly more frequent on fingerNails. Patients with psoriatic Nail dystrophy were significantly older than psoriatic patients without Nail abnormalities. Nails were involved statistically more often in patients with arthropathic psoriasis. Positive mycological cultures were obtained from 18% of patients with Nail changes. The most commonly isolated fungi were molds. Conclusions: Dystrophic Nails are frequently found in psoriatic individuals, especially those suffering from arthropathic psoriasis. Subungual hyperkeratosis and pitting are the most typical lesions. It is difficult to assess definitively whether psoriasis is a predisposing factor to the development of fungal infections of the Nails. Antécédents: Le psoriasis est une affection dermique très fréquente dont l’un des symptômes est l’altération de l’ongle. En effet, un grand nombre de personnes atteintes de psoriasis subissent une transformation morphologique de l’ongle ressemblant à l’onychomycose. Objectif: La présente étude vise (1) l’évaluation de la fréquence de l’affection de l’ongle chez les patients atteints de psoriasis; (2) l’évaluation du type de changements de l’ongle en présence de psoriasis; (3) la découverte de liens possibles entre l’affection de l’ongle et certains paramètres cliniques; et finalement (4) l’estimation de la prévalence des infections fongiques de l’ongle chez les personnes présentant un cas de psoriasis. Méthodes et Matériel: Cent six patients hospitalisés dans notre service àla suite d’une exacerbation du psoriasis ont pris part à l’étude. Chaque patient a subi un examen dermatologique avec une attention particulière prêtée aux altérations des ongles. Dans les cas d’anormalités cliniques pouvant être attributées à des infections fongiques, des essais mycologiques ont été effectués. Résultats: Des transformations au niveau des ongles ont été décelées chez 83 patients (78,3%) atteints de psoriasis. L’anomalie la plus fréquente tant sur les ongles des doigts que sur ceux des orteils était une hyperkératose sous-unguéale. L’apparition d’hyperkératose, d’onychorrexie et de décoloration des limbes était considérablement plus élevée sur les ongles des orteils. Par contre, les ongles en dé à coudre et les stries longitudinales prèvalaient sur les ongles des doigts. Les patients présentant une dystrophie unguéale étaient bien plus âgés que les patients qui ne présentaient pas d’anomalies au niveau des ongles. Les altérations unguéales sont statistiquement plus fréquentes chez les patients souffrant d’arthropathies. Des cultures mycologiques positives ont été prélevées chez 18% des patients présentant une altération aux ongles. Le champignon le plus fréquemment isolé était la moisissure. Conclusions: La dystrophie unguéale est fréquente chez les patients atteints de psoriasis, surtout chez ceux qui souffrent d’arthropathies. L’hyperkeratose sous-unguéale et les stries représentent les lésions les plus communes. Il est toutefois difficile de conclure si le psoriasis est un facteur prédisposant aux infections fongiques des ongles.
