Conclusion: Our results have demonstrated the importance of determining IFN-g concentrations in serum in patients with AU. This research could contribute to the interpretation of insufficiently well known views of the pathogenesis role and significance of IFN-g in AU.

In HIV infected patients with low CD4+ counts <200/cmm, on HAART, if skin lesions with numbness appearing within first six months of initiation of the treatment, a differential diagnosis of leprosy in the form of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome should be made with priority in high endemic areas. A wide variety of atypical clinical presentations and serious reactions should be anticipated. More systematic studies are required to understand the immune and inflammatory mechanisms associated with the condition.

Terra firme-forme dermatosis is a benign exogenous dermatosis found in all age-groups. The typical localizations include neck, face, trunk and ankles. Here we report on an 88-year-old male with a medical history of stroke and paraplegia of the legs who presented with asymptomatic, hyperkeratotic and slightly hyperpigmented lesions on his upper lids. Wiping of skin with alcohol pads completely removed the lesions confirming the diagnosis of terra firme-forme dermatosis of upper eyelids. Although affection of lower eyelids has reported before, the localization on upper eyelids only is very unusual.

Many studies have demonstrated that DC is principally a disease of defective telomere maintenance. DC patients normally have very short telomeres, which could be related to the fact that some DC patients are reported to have mutations in different genes encoding components of the telomerase complex. Previous electron microscopy studies revealed that cells isolated from DC patients have an embryonic immature nucleus, which could induce malignant transformation. Cancer usually develops after the third decade; the most frequent solid malignancies are head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Although we have not detected any malignant changes, we need to follow-up with this first case of DC in Vietnam regularly.

Treatment of subungual hematoma with 2940 nm Er: YAG laser to drain the collected blood beneath the nail plate is an excellent tool. It is an easy, simple, safe, and painless procedure done in the clinic. Pain relief and improvement in the color is resulted immediately. The cases that respond better should be within few days after nail trauma. We encourage considering this modality for treatment of subungual hematoma.

The results of the study showed that a point gel containing 2% H2O2, 0.54% salicylic acid, 1% phytic acid, 1% D-panthenol and 0.012 niacynamide is well tolerated and effective in patients with mild to moderate AV.
