Case ReportsFive cases of livedo-like dermatitis (Nicolau's syndrome) due to bismuth salts and various other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
The authors report five cases of Nicolau's syndrome observed over a period of about 25 years. The disease had occurred after intramuscular injections of different drugs (bismuth, diclofenac and ibuprofen). ⋯ In the past Nicolau's syndrome was described after intramuscular injections of bismuth salts for the treatment of syphilis; now, although still rare, it is described after injections of various aqueous drug solutions. The pathogenesis of Nicolau's dermatitis appears to be more complex than the previous hypothesized embolism caused by oleous drugs.

Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialEvaluation of sexual function in subjects taking finasteride for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
Our practical experience indicates that sexual side-effects in subjects taking finasteride 1 mg (Propecia) for androgenetic alopecia are much less common than reported in the literature. ⋯ The sexual and erectile function of subjects taking finasteride does not significantly differ from that of age-matched controls. This is consistent with the experience of many dermatologists who do not see sexual or erectile dysfunction in patients taking Propecia.

Case ReportsAcral necrosis by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM) has been considered a nosocomial pathogen. Nevertheless, community acquired infection may occur more frequently than usually recognized. ⋯ This unusual presentation shows that infection with SM should be included in the differential diagnosis of the skin and soft tissue infection, even in apparently healthy patients.
