Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Wells syndrome is an inflammatory eosinophilic dermatosis of unknown pathogenesis characterized by clinical polymorphism, a suggestive but nonspecific histopathologic traits, usually with a recurrent course and inconstant response to therapy. It seems to be an unspecific hypersensitivity reaction in response to various exogenous and endogenous stimuli, such as insect bites, infections, drug eruption or underlying internal disorders. We present a patient with allergic asthma and atopic dermatitis in whom a skin eruption developed in the sequence of allergic asthma exacerbation, which was clinically and histologically consistent with the diagnosis of eosinophilic cellulitis. The authors discuss the probability of a common pathogenesis and the role of IL-5. To our best knowledge this is the first pediatric case where this association is reported. |
