- W747033493 abstract "Dear Editor: We would like to report an interesting case of a man suffering from both ulcerative colitis (UC) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) at the same time. We are aware that such cases are already described in medical literature. However, previous articles perceive TEN as an adverse effect of derivatives of 5-aminosalicyclic acid (5-ASA), which are the foundation of conservative management of UC. In our patient, UC was diagnosed postmortem so he did not receive any drugs for UC at the time his cutaneous symptoms appeared. We believe it to be the first report of such co-existence without involvement of 5-ASA. The described patient was a 49-year-old man with left kidney agenesia, suffering from type 2 diabetes and chronic constipation. Surgical history included appendectomy and laparotomy due to fecal obstruction of the sigmoid colon nine years before. His constant medications were as follows: acetylosalicylic acid 75 mg 1×, propranolol 40 mg 2×, glimepiride 4 mg 1×, metformin 1000 mg 3×, vinpocetine 10 mg 2×, piracetam 1200 mg 2×, and pridinol 5 mg 2×. In late 2012, he developed slowly expanding bullae. Ambulatory management with glucocorticoid (i.v./i.m. dexametasone 4 mg) was administered but unsuccessful. Due to unknown etiology of his condition and ineffectiveness of empiric treatment, he was admitted in early 2013 to the Department of Dermatology of Wroclaw Medical University (WMU). Upon admission, multiple small and large bullae filled with serous fluid were present on all of the patient’s skin. Mucosae were not affected. Since day one of hospitalization, the patient had no bowel movement. Series of laboratory, radiological, and pathomorphologic tests were performed. Laboratory tests revealed the following: (1) elevated inflammatory markers (WBC 28,400/μl, CRP 84.5 mg/l) and eosinophilia (11.2 %) in peripheral blood smear, (2) decreased level of total plasma protein (5.2 g/dl) and albumin (3.3 g/dl), (3) slightly decreased level of vitamin B12 and folic acid, but no anemia (RBC 5,670,000/μl, HGB 16.7 g/dl, HCT 46.6 %), (4) dyslipidemia (HDL cholesterol 23 mg/dl, triglycerides 240 mg/dl), and (5) bad metabolic control of diabetes (glycemia up to 459 mg/dl, HbA1C 7.1 %, glycosuria 500 mg/dl). Tumor markers (CA15-3, CA19-9, CEA, PSA, AFP, and CA125) as well as virusological studies were negative: anti-HBe (−), anti-HBs level normal, anti-HCV (−), and anti-HBc (+). Chest X-ray showed no abnormalities. Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) study of skin sample was performed. Linear concretions of C3c along the basement membrane zone (BMZ) and additionally sparse fine-grained concretions of IgM along BMZ were discovered. There were no IgG, IgA, or C1q concretions. The result of DIF study suggested the diagnosis of pemphigoid. Histopathological examination of skin sample was also performed. It revealed vast subepidermal bullae, which might have indicated pemphigoid. After diagnosing pemphigoid, systemic treatment with sulfone (dapsone 50 mg, than 100 mg daily) and i.v. glucocorticoid (methylprednisolone 250 mg—2 doses at the fifth and ninth day) as well as local dressings (sulfathiazole with silver, hydrocortisone, oxytetracycline) were applied. Painmanagement involved paracetamol and tramadol. Glycemia was controlled by metformin (1000 mg 3×) and glimepiride (4 mg); the latter was then switched to insulin (intermediate* Michal Aporowicz micapo@interia.pl" @default.
