Pityriasis Rosea
A mild exanthematous inflammation of unknown etiology. It is characterized by the presence of salmon-colored maculopapular lesions. The most striking feature is the arrangement of the lesions such that the long axis is parallel to the lines of cleavage. The eruptions are usually generalized, affecting chiefly the trunk, and the course is often self-limiting.
Pityriasis
Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris
Pityriasis Lichenoides
A subgroup of PARAPSORIASIS itself divided into acute and chronic forms. The acute form is characterized by the abrupt onset of a generalized, reddish-brown, maculopapular eruption. Lesions may be vesicular, hemorrhagic, crusted, or necrotic. Histologically the disease is characterized by epidermal necrolysis. The chronic form shows milder skin changes with necrosis.

Pityriasis rosea is associated with systemic active infection with both human herpesvirus-7 and human herpesvirus-6. (1/14)
Pityriasis rosea is a common skin disease that has been suspected to have a viral etiology. We performed nested polymerase chain reaction to detect human herpesvirus-7, human herpesvirus-6, and cytomegalovirus DNA in lesional skin, nonlesional skin, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, serum, and saliva samples isolated from 14 pityriasis rosea patients. Viral mRNA expression and virion visualization within lesional skin were studied by in situ hybridization and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. By nested polymerase chain reaction, human herpesvirus-7 DNA was present in lesional skin (93%), nonlesional skin (86%), saliva (100%), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (83%), and serum (100%) samples, whereas human herpesvirus-6 DNA was detected in lesional skin (86%), nonlesional skin (79%), saliva (80%), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (83%), and serum (88%) samples. By contrast, cytomegalovirus DNA was not detected in these tissues. Control samples from 12 healthy volunteers and 10 psoriasis patients demonstrated rare positivity for either human herpesvirus-7 or human herpesvirus-6 DNA in skin or serum. By in situ hybridization, infiltrating mononuclear cells expressing human herpesvirus-7 and human herpesvirus-6 mRNA were identified in perivascular and periappendageal areas in 100% and 75% pityriasis rosea skin lesions, respectively, compared to herpesviral mRNA positivity in only 13% normal skin and psoriasis skin controls. Transmission electron microscopy failed to reveal herpesviral virions in pityriasis rosea lesional skin. Nested polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization enabled detection of human herpesvirus-7 and human herpesvirus-6 in skin and other tissues isolated from patients with pityriasis rosea. These results suggest that pityriasis rosea is associated with systemic active infection with both human herpesvirus-7 and human herpesvirus-6. (+info)Viral exanthems. (2/14)
Viral exanthems are mostly associated with self-limited diseases. However, in some cases diagnosis of an exanthem may be crucial to patients and their contacts. Certain exanthems have fairly characteristic morphology, but in many cases an accurate diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of morphology alone. Historical factors may be helpful when evaluating these patients, specifically their disease contacts, immunization record, previous exanthematous illnesses, and associated prodromal symptoms. Some illnesses are seasonal and this knowledge may be useful. This manuscript reviews a number of common childhood exanthems. We included the most common viral exanthems encountered by primary-care physicians and dermatologists. (+info)Pityriasis rosea. (3/14)
Pityriasis rosea is a common, acute exanthem of uncertain etiology. Viral and bacterial causes have been sought, but convincing answers have not yet been found. Pityriasis rosea typically affects children and young adults. It is characterized by an initial herald patch, followed by the development of a diffuse papulosquamous rash. The herald patch often is misdiagnosed as eczema. Pityriasis rosea is difficult to identify until the appearance of characteristic smaller secondary lesions that follow Langer's lines (cleavage lines). Several medications can cause a rash similar to pityriasis rosea, and several diseases, including secondary syphilis, are included in the differential diagnosis. One small controlled trial reported faster clearing of the exanthem with the use of erythromycin, but the mechanism of effect is unknown. Resolution of the rash may be hastened by ultraviolet light therapy but not without the risk of hyperpigmentation. Topical or systemic steroids and antihistamines often are used to relieve itching. (+info)Pityriasis rosea--evidence for and against an infectious aetiology. (4/14)
Pityriasis rosea, first named as such in 1860, probably holds the longest record for an exanthem suspected to be associated with an infection but for which an exact cause has not been found. The distinctly programmed clinical course, the lack of recurrence for most patients, and the presence of temporal case clustering provide the strongest evidence to support an infectious aetiology. Further support comes from seasonal variation and the association with respiratory tract infections, the unfavourable social and economic background of cases, and a history in some cases of contact with patients with pityriasis rosea. The apparent therapeutic efficacy of several treatment modalities does not provide strong evidence for or against an infectious aetiology. The roles of human herpesvirus 7 and to a lesser extent human herpesvirus 6 remain controversial. There exists reasonable evidence that pityriasis rosea is not associated with cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, parvovirus B19, picornavirus, influenza and parainfluenza viruses, Legionella spp., Mycoplasma spp. and Chlamydia spp. infections. Evidence is also unsubstantiated as yet for alternative aetiological hypotheses such as autoimmunity, atopy, and genetic predisposition. (+info)Clinical and histopathological findings in pustular psoriaform dermatitis (pityriasis rosea) in pigs. (5/14)
Three cases of pustular psoriaform dermatitis (pityriasis rosea) in pigs were clinically and histopathologically examined. Grossly, the affected skin was characterized by multiple, circumscribed lesions. Three pigs were the descendants derived from the same Landrace boar. Skin lesions expanded centrifugally to became ring-shaped plaques. There were no abnormal values in hematological and serum biochemical profiles. Histopathologically, the epidermis showed remarkable thickening. The dermal lesions were characterized by a prominent component of superficial and deep perivascular infiltration of eosinophils. Dilatation of microvasculature was accompanied with congested vessels. These results revealed that the etiology of pustular psoriaform dermatitis in pigs was associated with a hereditary predisposition derived from the specific boars. This dermatosis is histopathologically characterized by microcirculatory disturbances with infiltration of abundant eosinophils. (+info)Pityriasis rosea with palmoplantar plaque lesions. (6/14)
Pityriasis rosea is a skin disease characterized by sharply defined pruritic red patches covered by fine scales. It affects mostly adolescent and young adults. Typical lesions usually affect the trunk in a Christmas-tree pattern. The eruption usually resolves after 6 weeks but symptomatic treatment may be needed. Two patients are reported with classic presentation of pityriasis rosea except for the unusual associated palmoplantar lesions; both patients had negative RPR (with dilutions) and MHA-TP. They responded to 2-week courses of either oral erythromycin or Clarithromycin with complete resolution. (+info)Additional evidence that pityriasis rosea is associated with reactivation of human herpesvirus-6 and -7. (7/14)
To elucidate the role of human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 and -7 (HHV-7) in pityriasis rosea (PR), we measured their DNA load in plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and tissues using a calibrated quantitative real-time PCR assay. We also studied HHV-6- and HHV-7-specific antigens in skin by immunohistochemistry and anti-HHV-7 neutralizing activity using a syncytia-inhibition test. Plasma and PBMC were obtained from 31 PR patients (14 children, 17 adults), 12 patients with other dermatites, and 36 blood donors. Skin biopsies were obtained from 15 adults with PR and 12 with other dermatites. HHV-6 and HHV-7 DNA were detected in 17% and in 39% of PR plasmas, respectively, but in no controls. HHV-7 viremia was associated with a higher PBMC load and, in adults, with systemic symptoms. HHV-7, but not HHV-6, levels in PBMC were higher in PR patients than in controls. HHV-6 and HHV-7 antigens were found only in PR skin (17% and 67% of patients analyzed, respectively), indicating a productive infection. Syncytia-neutralizing antibodies were found in PR patients and controls, but their titers were lower in patients with HHV-7 viremia. These data confirm the causal association between PR and active HHV-7 or, to a lesser extent, HHV-6 infection. (+info)Pityriasis rosea-like eruptions due to mustard oil application. (8/14)
A young man employed in a construction company, presented with cutaneous lesions clinically simulating pityriasis rosea. Satisfactory and complete response to corticosteroids and antihistamines was followed by recurrence. Multiple recurrences within a short span of time arose a suspicion of alternative diagnosis. Site visit helped us to rule out occupational contact dermatitis. Further history taking revealed that he was recently using mustard oil for body massage. Subsequent patch testing confirmed contact hypersensitivity to mustard oil. Avoidance of the contact with mustard oil arrested appearance of further skin lesions. We stress the importance of taking a good history in clinical practice in disclosing a possible contactant. (+info)Pityriasis rosea is a common, self-limited cutaneous disorder characterized by the development of oval or round, scaly, erythematous patches that often form a distinctive "Christmas tree" pattern on the back.
Pityriasis rosea is a common, self-limited skin condition characterized by the development of oval or round, scaly, pinkish, inflamed patches on the skin. The initial lesion, known as the "herald patch," often appears before other lesions and measures 2-10 cm in diameter. It usually starts as a single, solitary, scaly, raised patch on the trunk that precedes the generalized eruption by about 1-2 weeks. The rash typically spreads to involve the chest, abdomen, back, arms, and legs, sparing the face, palms, and soles.
The rash is often asymptomatic but can be pruritic (itchy) in some cases. It usually resolves within 6-12 weeks without any treatment, although topical treatments such as corticosteroids or antihistamines may be used to relieve itching. The exact cause of pityriasis rosea is not known, but it is thought to be caused by a viral infection. It is more common in young adults and is more prevalent in the spring and fall seasons.
Pityriasis is a group of skin disorders characterized by scaling and flaking of the skin, including conditions like pityriasis rosea, pityriasis alba, and pityriasis lichenoides.
Pityriasis is a general term used to describe a group of skin conditions characterized by scaling. It includes several specific types, the most common being Pityriasis rosea and Pityriasis simplex capillitii (also known as dandruff).
1. Pityriasis rosea: This is a temporary skin rash that often begins with a single, round, scaly patch on the chest, abdomen, or back. A few days to weeks later, more patches appear. These patches are oval and scaly, and they may be pink, red, or tan. The rash usually lasts about 6-8 weeks.
2. Pityriasis simplex capillitii: This is a very common condition characterized by flaking or scaling of the scalp, which is often referred to as dandruff.
The term "pityriasis" comes from the Greek word "pitýrios," which means "bran."
Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris (PRP) is a rare, chronic, and recurring inflammatory skin disorder characterized by discrete, red scaly patches and keratotic follicular papules that may coalesce into larger plaques, often leading to widespread shedding of the skin (exfoliation), palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, and nail changes.
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare, chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by the development of reddish orange scaly patches and thickened plaques on the skin. It primarily affects the scalp, face, knees, elbows, and palms and soles. The condition can also cause reddening and thickening of the skin over the entire body in severe cases.
The key features of PRP include follicular papules (small bumps around hair follicles) that may be surrounded by a white collarette of scale, and areas of skin that are redder than normal (erythema). The condition can also cause nail changes, such as thickening and ridging.
PRP is thought to be caused by an abnormal immune response, although the exact cause is not known. It can affect people of all ages, but it is most commonly seen in children and adults between 40-60 years old. The condition typically progresses through several stages, with periods of worsening symptoms followed by periods of improvement or remission.
Treatment for PRP may include topical therapies, such as corticosteroids or retinoids, as well as systemic treatments, such as immunosuppressive drugs or biologics. The choice of treatment depends on the severity and extent of the condition, as well as other factors.
Pityriasis Lichenoides is a chronic, recurrent dermatosis characterized by the presence of scaly, erythematous papules and plaques, which can evolve into vesicles, pustules, or necrotic lesions, often preceded by a prodromal phase of fever, malaise, and lymphadenopathy, and classified into two main subtypes: Pityriasis Lichenoides Chronica (PLC) and Pityriasis Lichenoides Acuta (PLA or Mucha-Habermann disease), with uncertain etiology but thought to have an immunologic basis, and a self-limited course in most cases.
Pityriasis lichenoides is a group of skin disorders characterized by scaly, red or purple-red papules (small, raised bumps) that can progress to vesicles or pustules and often leave behind a tan or brown discoloration as they resolve. The two main types are pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC) and pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA). PLC is a more chronic, milder form with scaly pink-red papules that can last for months to years, while PLEVA is a more acute form characterized by sudden onset of widespread, eruptive papules and vesicles that may heal with varioliform (pockmarked) scarring. The exact cause of pityriasis lichenoides is unknown, but it's thought to be related to an immune response to an infectious agent or other trigger. Treatment options include topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and systemic medications such as antibiotics or immunosuppressants.
Human Herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is a DNA virus that belongs to the Roseolavirus genus of the Herpesviridae family, known to infect humans and primarily cause exanthem subitum (roseola), although it has also been associated with neurological disorders in immunocompromised individuals.
Human Herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is a species of the Herpesviridae family and Betaherpesvirinae subfamily. It is a double-stranded DNA virus that primarily infects human hosts. HHV-7 is closely related to Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and both viruses share many biological and biochemical properties.
HHV-7 is typically acquired in early childhood, with most people becoming infected before the age of five. Primary infection with HHV-7 can cause a mild illness known as exanthema subitum or roseola infantum, which is characterized by fever and a rash. However, many HHV-7 infections are asymptomatic.
After initial infection, HHV-7 becomes latent in the host's immune cells, particularly CD4+ T-lymphocytes. The virus can reactivate later in life, causing various clinical manifestations such as chronic fatigue syndrome, seizures, and exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. HHV-7 has also been implicated in the development of certain malignancies, including lymphoproliferative disorders and some types of brain tumors.
Like other herpesviruses, HHV-7 establishes a lifelong infection in its human host, with periodic reactivation throughout the individual's lifetime.
Malassezia is a genus of fungi (specifically, yeasts) that are commonly found on the skin of humans and other animals, and can sometimes cause skin disorders such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and pityriasis versicolor.
Malassezia is a genus of fungi (specifically, yeasts) that are commonly found on the skin surfaces of humans and other animals. They are part of the normal flora of the skin, but under certain conditions, they can cause various skin disorders such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis versicolor, and atopic dermatitis.
Malassezia species require lipids for growth, and they are able to break down the lipids present in human sebum into fatty acids, which can cause irritation and inflammation of the skin. Malassezia is also associated with fungal infections in people with weakened immune systems.
The genus Malassezia includes several species, such as M. furfur, M. globosa, M. restricta, M. sympodialis, and others. These species can be identified using various laboratory methods, including microscopy, culture, and molecular techniques.
Roseolovirus Infections are contagious diseases caused by the Roseolovirus genus, including Human Herpesvirus 6 and 7, which typically result in mild symptoms such as fever and rash (exanthem subitum or sixth disease) in children.
Roseolovirus infections are typically caused by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7). The most common manifestation of roseolovirus infection is exanthem subitum, also known as roseola infantum or sixth disease, which primarily affects children aged 6 months to 2 years.
The infection usually begins with a fever that can last for up to a week, followed by the appearance of a rash once the fever subsides. The rash is typically pinkish-red, maculopapular (consisting of both flat and raised lesions), and appears on the trunk, spreading to the face, neck, and extremities. It usually lasts for 1-2 days.
In addition to exanthem subitum, roseolovirus infections can also cause a variety of other clinical manifestations, including febrile seizures, hepatitis, pneumonitis, myocarditis, and encephalitis. HHV-6 and HHV-7 have also been associated with several chronic diseases, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and certain malignancies.
Transmission of roseolovirus occurs through saliva and other bodily fluids, and primary infection is usually acquired during childhood. Once infected, the virus remains latent in the body and can reactivate later in life, although reactivation rarely causes symptoms.
Rhodiola, also known as Rhodiola rosea, is a herbaceous perennial plant used in traditional medicine, whose root contains active ingredients such as rosavins and salidroside, believed to provide adaptogenic effects including stress reduction, enhanced physical performance, and cognitive improvement, although scientific evidence is still limited and further research is needed.
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea), also known as golden root or roseroot, is an herb that grows in the wild Arctic regions of Europe and Asia. It has been used in traditional medicine in Russia and Scandinavia for centuries to increase stamina, strength, and mental capacity, and to help cope with cold climates and high altitudes.
Rhodiola rosea contains several chemical compounds, including rosavins and salidroside, which are believed to have adaptogenic properties, meaning they may help the body better respond to physical, chemical, and environmental stress. Some studies suggest that rhodiola may help reduce fatigue, improve mental performance, and boost the immune system, but more research is needed to confirm these effects and determine optimal dosages.
It's important to note that while some supplements containing rhodiola rosea are available over-the-counter, they are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the same way as prescription drugs, so it's important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking them. Additionally, rhodiola may interact with certain medications or have side effects, so it's important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
