Conclusion: Trichomoniasis is a marker for high-risk sexual behavior and the relatively high prevalence rate in the asymptomatic group indicates the need for routine screening of women in their reproductive age group to reduce the risks of acquiring other STIs and HIV infection.

Conclusion: Our study provides a comprehensive overview of melanocytic nevi in Moroccan children, highlighting their epidemiological, clinical, and dermoscopic characteristics. The findings emphasize the influence of phototype and anatomical location on nevus presentation and dermoscopic patterns. These findings contribute to our knowledge of nevi in North African populations and may help refine diagnostic approaches and surveillance protocols for pediatric patients.

Conclusion: This was the first study recording lupus pernio in association with different skin diseases. All patients presented with a dusky red, bulky nose with nasal mucosa invasion in many cases but, in particular, patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis and tuberculosis. This was in contrast with the dermatological literature in which only sarcoidosis was well defined to be associated with lupus pernio.
