Q

A 26-year-old man presents to the dermatologist complaining about the lesions that he has noticed recently on the skin adjacent to his penis. He is concerned about having acquired a sexually transmitted disease through one of several recent sexual encounters. The dermatologist defined the lesions as smooth dome- shaped/umblicated papules with a central depression. An excisonal biopsy is performed for one of the lesions. The histopathologic examination revealed verrucous epidermal hyperplasia and intracytoplasmic inclusions located to the corneal and granular layer of the epidermis.
Which of the following viruses can be the etiologic agent for this lesion?

Human papiloma virus
HIV
Hepatit B virus
Pox virus
Herpes simplex virus type 2

A

Pox.

The gross appearance and histologic appearance are characteristic of molluscum contagiosum, which is caused by poxvirus. The cells in the epidermis contain large intracytoplasmic inclusions, which are called molluscum bodies. The molluscum bodies are accumulations of viral particles.

Molluscum contagiosum, ciltte küçük pembe veya ten rengi kabarıklıklara neden olan virüs kaynaklı bir hastalıkdır. Zararlı değildir ve hastaların genellikle başka şikayetleri yoktur.

Q

A 30-year-old man is evaluated for an intensely pruritic erythematous papular and vesicular dermatitis involving the forearms and buttocks bilaterally. He is treated with a high-potency topical steroid, which helps with the itching; however, the rash fails to resolve. After that a skin biopsy is performed from this patient, which shows granular deposits of IgA within the dermal papillae with direct immunofluorescence technique. Which of the following histopathological findings is related with this patient’s disease?

Suprabasal and intraepidermal clefting, extensive acantholysis of keratinocytes resembling dilapidated brick wall

Subepidermal blisters with papillary neutrophilic microabscesses

Suprabasal acantholytic blisters leaving a single layer of basal cells

Epidermal hyperplasia and severe spongiosis

Subepidermal non-acantholytic blisters and superficial perivascular inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes and eosinophils

A

Subepidermal blisters with papillary neutrophilic microabscesses

The distribution of the rash, the clinical description, and histopathological ad DIF findings (Subepidermal blisters with papillary neutrophilic microabscesses and granular deposits of IgA within the dermal papillae) all indicate dermatitis herpetiformis due to underlying celiac disease. The gluten-containing foods would be most likely to aggravate the patient’s condition. Dermatitis herpetiformis is associated with IgA autoantibodies to fibrils that bind the epidermal basement membrane to the dermis, and also produces subepidermal blisters. The association of dermatitis herpetiformis with celiac disease provides a clue to its pathogenesis. Genetically predisposed individuals develop lgA antibodies to dietary gluten (derived from the wheat protein gliadin).

Suprabasal acantholytic blisters leaving a single layer of basal cells resembling row of tombstones: Pemphigus vulgaris

Suprabasal and intraepidermal clefting, extensive acantholysis of keratinocytes resembling dilapidated brick wall: Hailey-hailey disease

Subepidermal non-acantholytic blisters and superficial perivascular mixed inflammatory infiltrate: Bullous pemphigoid

Epidermal hyperplasia and severe spongiosis can be the histopathological features of acute eczematous dermatitis (spongiotic dermatitis), not a bullous disease

Which of the following is incorrect regarding fungal infections of skin and soft tissue? Typical ringworm lesions have an inflamed circular border containing papules and vesicles surrounding a clear area of relatively normal skin. Dermatophytes infect only deeper tissues not superficial keratinized tissues. The most commonly used medium for cultivating fungi is Sabouraud’s agar, which contains only glucose and peptones as nutrients. The simplest method is to mix a clinical specimen, such as skin scrapings, with a 10% solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) on a microscope slide under a coverslip. Fungi can often be identified by directly observing their distinctive morphologic features on direct microscopic examination of infected pus, fluids, or tissues.
Dermatophytes infect only superficial keratinized tissues therefore 2nd option is the answer

Inhibition of which of the following enzymes most likely mediated the therapeutic effect of leflunomide added to methotrexate therapy in a 40-y.o. woman suffering from rheumatoid arthritis? Dihydrofolate reductase Type II topoisomerase Cyclooxygenase-1 Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase Leflunomide is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) immunosuppressant approved for the treatment of rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in pyrimidine synthesis. As a consequence, there is a reduction in uridine triphosphate levels and pyrimidine synthesis in leucocytes and other rapidly dividing cells. Leflunomide is about as effective as methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis and enhances methotrexate activity when given concomitantly. Therefore, it is often added to methotrexate therapy, as in this case.

Which of the following is the mechanism of action of a drug administered to a 50- y.o. man who developed muscle rigidity, tachycardia, labile blood pressure, profuse diaphoresis, and high fever (>40°C) shortly after the initiation of general anesthesia with halothane and succinylcholine prior to his inguinal hernia surgery? (The anesthesia was discontinued at once, and the drug of interest was administered by rapid intravenous push.) Blockade of excitatory neurotransmitter release in the brain Blockade of Ca2+ channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum Increased K + conductance in the skeletal muscle cell membrane Blockade of Ca 2+ channels in the skeletal muscle cell membrane Activation of GABA B receptors in the spinal cord
Blockade of Ca 2+ channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum The clinical picture of the patient suggests the diagnosis of Feedback: malignant hyperthermia, a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder that can be triggered by a variety of stimuli, including the administration of certain anesthetics (mainly halothane) and neuromuscular blocking agents (mainly succinylcholine). The disorder is related to a hereditary impairment in the ability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to sequester calcium (Ca 2+ ); therefore, a prolonged release of Ca 2+ occurs after the triggering event through SR Ca 2+ channels (ryanodine receptors, RyR). This causes massive muscle contraction, hyperthermia, and lactic acidosis. Dantrolene is a drug of choice in this disorder because it blocks RyRs in the skeletal muscle SR, thus preventing the massive release of Ca 2+ . Cardiac and smooth muscle are minimally affected by dantrolene because they have a different subtype of RyRs in their SR.

Which one of the listed factors is not considered as a treatment goal in the treatment of Legg Perthes Calve disease? Increasing the blood flow to the necrotic femoral epiphysis Limitation of loading in order to prevent collapse of the head Resolution of symptoms Restoration of range of motion Keeping the femoral head contained within the acetabulum
Increasing the blood flow to the necrotic femoral epiphysis Conservative or surgical treatment options for LPC disease all aim to decrease pain, increase the ROM of the hip joint, keep the femoral head within the acetabulum, and prevent further collapse of the femoral head. Increasing the blood flow to the affected femoral head is not possible with the current treatment options.
62
Which one of the statements listed below is not correct considering femoral shaft fractures? Stress ractures may be seen in prolonged use of biphosphonates. Rigid intramedullary nailing is the most preferred way of fixing femoral shaft fractures in the adult population. Low impact injuries in the elderly may cause a femoral shat fracture due to osteoporosis. Hip spica casting is the standard treatment of femoral fractures in the elderly. In contaminated, open femoral shaft fractures, external fixation may temporarily be used in order to avoid complications.
Hip spica casting is the standard treatment of femoral fractures in the elderly. Hip spica casting is the preferred treatment modality for femoral shaft fracture in children up to 5 years of age. Rigid fixation (intramedullary nailing or plating ) is the proper treatment in adults.

A 50-year-old woman recently diagnosed with gouty arthritis started a treatment with a drug that inhibits leukocyte migration and phagocytosis secondary to inhibit ion of tubulin polymerization. Which of the following drugs did the patient most likely take? Colchicine Indomethacin Prednisone Allopurinol
Colchicine can be used to stop an acute gout attack or, most often, for the prevent ion of further at tacks, as in this case. The drug binds to the intracellular protein, tubulin, thereby preventing its polymerization into microtubules and thus blocking mitosis in metaphase. Cells with the highest rate of division are affected early. Granulocyte migration into the inflamed area and phagocytosis of urate crystals by macrophages are inhibited, thus relieving the pain and inflammation of gouty arthritis. These actions are specific, and the drug is devoid of general analgesic or anti-inflammatory effects.

A 10-year-old male presents with rashes. His condition started 5 days ago with fever, sore throat, and painful swallowing and then after 3 days, it was noticed that flushed cheeks and papular rashes on his trunk which are non-confluent lesions then it spread to the extremities. The rashes felt like sandpaper. The vital signs show a temperature of 39 C , cardiac rate 110/min, and a respiratory rate of 22 breaths/min. The physical exam shows blanching papular rashes on his trunk and extremities, tonsillopharyngeal congestion with exudate, and cervical lymphadenopathy. Which one is not associated with this clinic? Palmolpantar desquamation occurs in 7-10 days Penicillines are used for the treatment Glomerulonephritis can be seen as a complication It is a toxin related disease There is no enanthem seen in the course of the disease
There is no enanthem seen in the course of the disease Scarlet fever is associated with bacterial pharyngitis caused by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GAS). Typically, scarlet fever is associated with acute pharyngitis. As a result, fever, sore throat, pain with swallowing, and cervical adenopathy is present. If there is no pharyngitis, the source of infection can be a wound or burn which is infected with GAS. In addition to a classic sandpaper rash, physical findings can include a strawberry tongue (enanthem of the disease) and pastia lines. Pastia lines are pink or red lines formed of confluent petechiae, which are found in folds of the skin such as the antecubital fossa. The rash usually persists for about one week and may be followed by desquamation.
66
A 16-year-old female presents for a one-year history of recurrent episodes of a pruritic skin rash. The skin lesions last for fewer than 24 hours and there is no residual scarring.

Which of the following is the first line of treatment for this patient's condition? Oral antihistamine Topical antihistamine Oral steroid Subcutaneous adrenaline Topical steroid
Oral antihistamine The patient in this clinical scenario presents with chronic urticaria. The principles of management are to avoid exacerbating factors and to control symptoms as long as the urticaria persists. Pharmacological agents are directed at preventing mast cell degranulation and the effects of mast cell mediators released. H1- antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, loratadine, fexofenadine), taken regularly, are the first-line pharmacological treatment. The dose can be up-titrated to 4 times the standard dose if symptoms remain at 2 to 4-week intervals.

A 50-year-old woman recently diagnosed with gouty arthritis started a treatment with a drug that inhibits leukocyte migration and phagocytosis secondary to inhibition of tubulin polymerization. Which of the following drugs did the patient most likely take? Allopurinol Colchicine Indomethacin Prednisone
Colchicine Colchicine can be used to stop an acute gout attack or, most often, for the prevent ion of further at tacks, as in this case. The drug binds to the intracellular protein, tubulin, thereby preventing its polymerization into microtubules and thus blocking mitosis in metaphase. Cells with the highest rate of division are aected early. Granulocyte migration into the inamed area and phagocytosis of urate crystals by macrophages are inhibited, thus relieving the pain and inammation of gouty arthritis. These actions are specic, and the drug is devoid of general analgesic or anti-inammatory eects.

Which of the following disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) would be most appropriate for a 50-year-old patient recently diagnosed with mild rheumatoid arthritis? He was a heavy smoker and had a history of chronic bronchitis with frequent acute exacerbations usually treated with antibiotics. His joint pain continued despite ibuprofen therapy Rituximab Hydroxychloroquine Etanercept Lefunomide
Hydroxychloroquine The therapy of mild RA usually includes nonsteroidal antiinammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that can control symptoms of pain and swelling, but DMARD treatment is almost always added within 3 months of the RA diagnosis. Hydroxychloroquine seems to be the least toxic among DMARDs and is usually the initial choice. Immunosuppressants are relatively contraindicated in this patient because of his frequent respiratory tract infections.
132
Which of the following is not a screening test for all types of inflammatory arthritis? Total Protein C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) Rheumatoid Factor (RF)
Total Protein Info: 1.Screening blood tests for all types of inammatory arthritis: –Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): An elevated ESR "supports" the presence of an inammatory arthritis. –C-Reactive Protein (CRP): This test is an alternative to obtaining the ESR. –Rheumatoid Factor (RF): A rheumatoid factor test should be obtained when rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is at least moderately possible in the patient. –Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP): Measuring antibodies to CCP is a new test for RA; it has higher specicity but lower sensitivity than RF. –Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA): ANA test is commonly obtained in patients with arthralgias or arthritis as a screening test for SLE or another connectivetissue disorder. More than 95% of patients with SLE have ANA; thus, a negative ANA result is a strong indicator that SLE is not present. However, a positive ANA result lacks specicity and may occur in persons with other connective-tissue diseases (Positive ANA incidence is 99% in SLE, 85% in Sjögren’s, 88% in Scleroderma, 55% in Rheumatoid Arthritis, and 40% in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis)

Which of the following is the mechanism of dantrolene administered to a 50-y.o. man who developed muscle rigidity, tachycardia, labile blood pressure, profuse diaphoresis, and high fever (>40°C) shortly after the initiation of general anesthesia with halothane and succinylcholine prior to his inguinal hernia surgery? (The anesthesia was discontinued at once, and the drug of interest was administered by rapid intravenous push.) Blockade of Ca2+ channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum Blockade of Ca2+ channels in the skeletal muscle cell membrane Increased K+ conductance in the skeletal muscle cell membrane Blockade of excitatory neurotransmitter release in the brain Activation of GABAB receptors in the spinal cord
Blockade of Ca2+ channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum Info: The clinical picture of the patient suggests the diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia, a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder that can be triggered by a variety of stimuli, including the administration of certain anesthetics (mainly halothane) and neuromuscular blocking agents (mainly succinylcholine). The disorder is related to a hereditary impairment in the ability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to sequester calcium (Ca2+); therefore, a prolonged release of Ca2+ occurs after the triggering event through SR Ca2+ channels (ryanodine receptors, RyR). This causes massive muscle contraction, hyperthermia, and lactic acidosis. Dantrolene is a drug of choice in this disorder because it blocks RyRs in the skeletal muscle SR, thus preventing the massive release of Ca2+. Cardiac and smooth muscle are minimally aected by dantrolene because they have a dierent subtype of RyRs in their SR.
135
A 19-year-old male presents to the dermatologist with complaints of intense itching, particularly at the interdigital folds of his hands. He reports that the itching worsens at night. On physical examination, elevated hyperemic rashes with evidence of scratching are noted. Some of the lesions appear as thin, serpiginous lines. A biopsy of one of the lesions is performed.

A 25-year-old man presents to the emergency department with a sudden onset of red, targetshaped lesions on his palms and legs. He reports that the lesions appeared a few days after he started taking a new medication for his upper respiratory infection. On examination, there are multiple round erythematous macules, papules, vesicles, and bullae, some of which have a characteristic central clearing with surrounding rings (g1). A biopsy from one of the skin lesions shows vesicle formation and cytotoxic T cells attacking basal epithelial cells. According to your most likely diagnosis , which of the following statements are correct? (Choose as many as required) The characteristic lesion is a targetoid (target) lesion. Oral mucosa can not be involved in this disease It is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction. It is typically triggered by infections or medications. Histopathology reveals cytotoxic T cells attacking basal epithelial cells
All except the second statement is correct. Info: Erythema multiforme (EM) is an acute inammatory dermatosis often triggered by infections (such as herpes simplex virus) or medications. It is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction mediated by cytotoxic T cells that attack basal epithelial cells. The characteristic lesion is a targetoid (target) lesion, which appears as a central zone of necrosis surrounded by concentric rings of erythema. Histopathological examination shows vesicle formation and cytotoxic T cells targeting basal epithelial cells. Unlike chronic dermatoses like psoriasis, EM does not involve chronic plaque formation and thickened skin. Oral mucosa can also be involved in this disease.

What is the most appropriate next step in the evaluation of an acanthosis nigricans patient? Upper and lower endoscopy Abdominal ultrasound Bone marrow biopsy Skin patch testing MRI of the brain
Upper and lower endoscopy Info: The patient exhibits signs of acanthosis nigricans, which, in the absence of diabetes or obesity, can be a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with gastrointestinal malignancies, particularly gastric adenocarcinoma. Therefore, an upper and lower endoscopy is warranted to investigate potential underlying malignancies. Bone marrow biopsy: Not the most appropriate next step as the primary concern is to rule out gastrointestinal malignancies associated with acanthosis nigricans. MRI of the brain: Not indicated based on the presented symptoms and ndings. Abdominal ultrasound: While useful, it does not provide the comprehensive evaluation needed to detect gastrointestinal malignancies. Skin patch testing: This is not relevant for the diagnosis of acanthosis nigricans or its associated conditions.
