Stump The Audience: Three Cases For The Ages

  • Bacillary angiomatosis can be seen in both immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised patients.

  • Erosive pustular dermatosis is seen typically on scalp of elderly patients with history of skin trauma, sun damage. High potency topical corticosteroids and TCIs are effective forms of treatment.

  • Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is part of a larger group of diseases known as Periodic Fever Syndromes; genetic testing is recommended because children of affected patients have a 50% chance of inheriting this gene mutation.
