In this article matter of atopic dermatitis localized on hands is pursued. Typically atopic dermatitis is localized to the flexural surfaces of the body, friction points, but it can also occur on face, legs and hands as mentioned above. It includes etiopathogenesis of AD, differential diagnosis of hand eczema and treatment. The treatment is generally local using topical corticosteroids, external agents with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects and emolients. We can use phototherapy and systematic treatment in some severe cases.

Acne is one of the most common chronical skin diseases and is one of the common skin manifestations accompanying puberty. The authors try to summarize the basic information about this skin disease in a review, interdisciplinary article and focus on the diagnosis and treatment of acne in women from the point of view of a gynecologist. Skin manifestations are often associated with elevated levels of androgens - hyperandrogenism. Especially in these cases, an interdisciplinary approach is suitable, which requires comprehensive diagnosis and therapy, in order to treat this condition comprehensively and causally. Although acne treatment is and will be the...

Wound infection is one of the most frequent complication of the leg ulcer healing. It is important to distinguish superficial and deep wound infection in the management of infection as the presence of the deep infection is an indicator for putting the patient on the prompt pointed antibiotic treatment together with appropriate topical antimicrobial therapy. Complex treatment of infected leg ulcer comprises causal venous hypertension treatment, repeated wound debridement, local antimicrobial treatment and rational systemic antibiotic treatment (appointed for deep and spreading infection events). Meeting the requirements on rational antibiotic treatment...

Skin changes play an important role in the course of anticancer therapy and in the dispensarisation of the patients with malignant tumours. The article briefly discusses the cutaneous complications in these patients. The text summarizes the risk of development of another primary cutaneous malignant tumour, the development of cutaneous or subcutaneous metastases and carcinomatous lymphadenopathy, cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes, the adverse effects of the anticancer therapy and finally the cutaneous complications related to the disease progression. Particular attention is devoted to the specific types of cutaneous metastases, to the obligatory paraneoplastic...

Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne infection in Central Europe. Borrelia have an affinity for a number of organs and tissues (skin, nervous system, joints, myocardium, etc.). The basis of laboratory diagnosis is currently the detection of specific IgM and IgG antibodies, confirming contact with the infectious agent, not the activity of the infection. Other methods are of limited use mainly due to low sensitivity (PCR) or lack of clinical data (specific cellular immune response). Careful evaluation of the clinical symptoms in correlation with laboratory test results is a prerequisite for a correct diagnosis. In the early stages of the disease,...

In their practice, dermatologists encounter a wide range of inflammatory diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of infectious origin. Superficial bacterial skin infections are typically unaccompanied by general symptoms, and are most often treated on an outpatient basis by means of topical antimicrobial agents or oral systemic antibiotics. Skin and soft tissue infections with a more severe course are treated with intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics during hospitalization. Distinct nosological entities are caused by typical agents, which guides the selection of antibiotic for targeted therapy. Currently, it is also important to consider the...

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of multifactorial etiology, which frequently manifests with severe pruritus. In the Czech Republic, its prevalence is approximately 10% in preschool and school children and up to twice as much in infants. Atopic dermatitis can occur at any age and has an episodic course. The case report of a child with severe atopic dermatitis shows the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, adequate local and general pharmacotherapy and strict adherence to preventive measures. The etiopathogenesis of the disease, the possibilities of allergological diagnosis and treatment in pediatric patients are briefly...

Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is caused by specific nephritogenic strains of a beta haemolytic streptococcus, group A. The course of this disease is variable; from asymptomatic accidental abnormal findings in urine to severely developed nephritic syndrome with macroscopic haematuria, oedema, hypertension, and acute kidney injury. The prognosis is usually good, but patients require further surveillance and monitoring to rule out a more severe form of glomerulonephritis. We report a patient with an unusually severe course of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, incurred as a result of skin infections at the time of distance medicine.
