CASE 2 A 90-year-old woman was referred from a major medical dermatology center with a diagnosis of delusions of parasitosis. On the first visit she described worms and strings coming out of her body including the skin, eyes, and mouth. She reported the onset as September 2009 following a bout of diarrhea during the summer that lasted for 2 months. She was treated with albendazole by a noted parasitologist for trichuris infection. The diarrhea abated with the treatment.

By September 2009, she had described worms and strings coming out of her body, causing her great discomfort. She first went to her primary care physician at the medical school center. He examined the material she brought and told her there were no parasites or strings but only mucous. This angered her and she refused to return to the physician. She brought a drawing of the worms and strings on her first dermatology visit (Figure 1).

Examination revealed a thin elderly woman in no acute distress whose stream of thought was verbose and rambling. The skin showed a reddened and ulcerated area on the right thigh (Figure 2). The remainder of the physical examination was within normal limits. Results from laboratory tests were within normal limits. The patient was given mupirocin ointment for the ulcer and ammonium lactate 12% lotion for the skin on the body and was reassured there was some possibility that the disturbance might abate.

Figure 2. The patient’s thigh lesion on first visit.

On follow-up 2 weeks later, she claimed the parasites had started in June 2009, contradicting her previous statement that they had started in September 2009. She now claimed slight improvement with the treatment. There were, however, new lesions on the right thigh (Figure 3). Once again she was unclear about

Figure 3. The patient’s thigh lesions on second visit.

whether these resulted from the parasites. She indicated that the strings and worms were coming out of her ears, eyes, nose, and skin on the face.

SKINmed. 2012;10:72–74

She was encouraged to take doxepin 25 mg at night and continue with ammonium lactate 12% lotion and mupirocin ointment. She was also encouraged to ventilate about her multiple social problems, including her family, her will, and her eating problems. She said she weighed 87 pounds because she was unable to eat any carbohydrates since she believed the parasites lived on sugars. She said she was in the process of getting assistance in daily-living activities at home.

Delusions of Parasitosis

ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTION

On third follow-up, she said she felt considerably better (2 weeks after second visit) using emollients. She did not mention parasites, but said the problem was improving. She was encouraged to seek psychologic or psychiatric counseling but was not accepting of this suggestion. She said she was going to make an appointment for a visit at a nearby medical center geriatric unit to help her with nutrition and memory problems. She was encouraged to take doxepin at bedtime and to use emollients.

DISCUSSION These cases are the first to exhibit findings of Morgellons disease and delusions of parasitosis at the same time. Morgellons is a pattern of dermatologic symptoms very similar, if not identical, to those of delusions of parasitosis, and many patients with Morgellons are diagnosed with another psychosomatic illness.2 In delusional parasitosis, patients hold a delusional belief that they are infested with parasites. They may experience formication, the sensation that insects are crawling under the skin. It is a common symptom in cocaine abusers as well. Individuals who experience this condition may develop elaborate rituals of inspection and cleansing to locate and remove parasites and fibers, resulting in a form of self-mutilation; they injure themselves in attempts to be rid of the “parasites” by picking at the skin, causing secondary lesions. Continuous picking of the lesions prevents healing.

Patients with delusional parasitosis often present at the doctor’s office with what physician’s term the matchbox sign, a medical sign characterized by the patient making collections of fibers and other foreign objects supposedly retrieved from the skin, and, because of “unshakeable delusional ideation,” strongly reject diagnoses that do not involve parasites. The Morgellons Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization, considers Morgellons to be a newly emerging infectious disease, but the medical community disagrees, noting that the described symptoms of Morgellons are associated with the psychotic disorder known as delusional parasitosis.2

Due to the second patient’s age, it was deemed inappropriate to give pimozide or treatment with an SSRI medication since sudden death in the elderly has been reported.3 The treatment plan was to gain the patient’s confidence before attempting to refer her for psychologic or psychiatric care, since there did not appear to be any insight on her part at the first 2 visits.

Therapy is often unsuccessful because many patients, such as those reported here, refuse consultation with a psychiatrist either because they believe the problem is organic or because they fear mental illness and the stigma of psychiatry. In extremely severe cases, suicide has been reported, illustrating the urgency of corrective medication and prompt psychiatric referral.4 Standard treatment with pimozide risks substantial side effects.3 This has led to trial with additional psychotropic agents. Recent success has been reported with the use of risperdal5 and olanzapine.6 Nowhere have these diseases been more graphically illustrated than in the Oscar-nominated 2010 film “Black Swan” wherein the heroine played by Natalie Portman suffers from the delusion that parasites and strings are coming out of her skin. This is a must-see film for dermatologists and psychiatrists alike.

Bhattacharya, MD; Sonal Sharma, MD; Navjeevan Singh, MD; Nishant Verma, MD Bacterial cultures are the gold standard for diagnosing cutaneous tuberculosis, but there are limitations, despite the advances embracing the innovative technologies, including interferon Îł release assays, enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay, and molecular diagnostics, in addition to conventional skin tests and microscopic pathology. The results and their interpretation of cultures are reviewed for use in day-to-day practice.

Figure 1. (A) Multiple nests of melanocytes are shown in malignant melanoma. (B) Ki-67 immunostain showing increased reactivity.

Black arrowhead indicates a melanin pigment. Red arrowheads indicate increased Ki-67 labeling in or above the basal layer, indicative of cell proliferation or of ultraviolet exposure within the previous 24 hours. Full black arrows indicate a hypocellular dermis, indicative of long term ultraviolet exposure.

Figure 3. DNA replication fork illustrating DNA synthesis along the leading and lagging strand. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is shown in pink acting as a clamp to secure polymerase delta (shown in green) and polymerase epsilon (shown in teal) to the DNA strand, allowing for greater efficiency of nucleotide addition.

The most common adverse events associated with MINOCIN are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. CNS adverse effects may include dizziness, vertigo, and headache.

Important Information The most common adverse events associated with MINOCIN are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Central nervous system adverse events including light-headedness, dizziness, or vertigo have been reported with minocycline therapy, but are generally transient in nature. Other adverse events include tinnitus, headache, sedation, and skin pigmentation, particularly on the face and mucous membranes. MINOCIN is contraindicated in persons who have shown hypersensitivity to any of the tetracyclines or to any of the components of the product formulation. WARNING: MINOCIN PelletFilled Capsules, like other tetracycline-class antibiotics, can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The use of drugs of the tetracycline class during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of teeth (yellow-gray-brown). Concurrent use of tetracyclines may render oral contraceptives less effective.

Locoid Lipocream® Cream, 0.1% (hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1% cream) For Topical Use Only

Rx Only

BRIEF SUMMARY INDICATIONS AND USAGE Locoid Lipocream is a topical corticosteroid indicated for: relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses in adults and the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients 3 months to 18 years of age.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression may occur, with the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency. Consider periodic evaluations for HPA axis suppression if Locoid Lipocream is applied to large surface areas or used under occlusion. If HPA axis suppression is noted, reduce the application frequency, discontinue use, or switch to a lower potency corticosteroid.

Systemic effects of topical corticosteroids may also include manifestations of Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria.

Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity due to their larger skin surface-to-body-mass ratios.

Initiate appropriate therapy if concomitant skin infections develop.

Discontinue use if irritation develops.

ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (>1%) are HPA axis suppression and application site reactions.

The following additional local adverse reactions have been reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids, and they may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings and higher potency corticosteroids. These reactions included: irritation, folliculitis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae, miliaria and telangiectasia.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C. Corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels.

Some corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in laboratory animals.There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Therefore, Locoid Lipocream should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Please refer to full prescribing information for detailed information regarding systemic embryofetal development studies.

Nursing Mothers Systemically administered corticosteroids appear in human milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other untoward effects. It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Locoid Lipocream is administered to a nursing woman.

Pediatric Use Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients below 3 months of age have not been established.

Because of higher skin surface-to-body-mass ratios, pediatric patients are at a greater risk than adults of HPA axis suppression when they are treated with topical corticosteroids. They are therefore also at a greater risk of glucocorticosteroid insufficiency after withdrawal of treatment and of Cushing’s syndrome while on treatment.

Eighty-six (86) pediatric subjects (5 months to less than 18 years of age) with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis affecting at least 25% of body surface area (BSA) treated with Locoid Lipocream three times daily for up to 4 weeks were assessed for HPA axis suppression. The disease severity (moderate to severe atopic dermatitis) and the dosing regimen (three times daily) in this HPA axis study were different from the subject population (mild to moderate atopic dermatitis) and the dosing regimen (two times daily) for which Locoid Lipocream is indicated.

Five of the 82 evaluable subjects (6.1%) demonstrated laboratory evidence of suppression, where the sole criterion for defining HPA axis suppression was a serum cortisol level of less than or equal to 18 micrograms per deciliter after cosyntropin stimulation. Suppressed subjects ranged in age from 5 months to 16 years and, at the time of enrollment, had 25% to 95% BSA involvement. These subjects did not develop any other signs or symptoms of HPA axis suppression.

At the first follow up visit, approximately one month after the conclusion of treatment, cosyntropin stimulation results of all subjects had returned to normal, with the exception of one subject. This last subject recovered adrenal function by the second post treatment visit, 65 days post-treatment.

Cushing’s syndrome, linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, and intracranial hypertension have also been reported in pediatric patients receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in pediatric patients include low plasma cortisol levels to an absence of response to ACTH stimulation.

Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema.

Geriatric Use Clinical studies of Locoid Lipocream did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility No studies were conducted to determine the photococarcinogenic or dermal carcinogenic potential of Locoid Lipocream.

Hydrocortisone butyrate revealed no evidence of mutagenic or clastogenic potential based on the results of two in vitro genotoxicity tests (Ames test and L5178Y/TK+ mouse lymphoma assay) and one in vivo genotoxicity test (mouse micronucleus assay).

No evidence of impairment of fertility or effect on mating performance was observed in a fertility and general reproductive performance study conducted in male and female rats at subcutaneous doses up to and including 1.8 mg/kg/day (0.7X maximum topical human dose [MTHD]). Mild effects on maternal animals, such as reduced food consumption and a subsequent reduction in body weight gain, were seen at doses ≥0.6 mg/kg/day (0.2X MTHD).

PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Patients using Locoid Lipocream should receive the following information and instructions: Apply a thin layer to the affected skin two or three times daily for corticosteroidresponsive dermatoses in adults. Consult with your physician to determine if treatment is needed beyond 2 weeks. Apply a thin film to the affected skin areas two times daily for atopic dermatitis in patients 3 months of age and older.

Safety of Locoid Lipocream in pediatric patients has not been established beyond 4 weeks of use.

Rub in gently.

Avoid contact with the eyes.

Do not bandage, otherwise cover, or wrap the affected skin area so as to be occlusive unless directed by your physician.

Do not use Locoid Lipocream in the diaper area, as diapers or plastic pants may constitute occlusive dressings.

Do not use Locoid Lipocream on the face, underarms, or groin areas unless directed by your physician.

If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, contact your physician.

Do not use other corticosteroid-containing products while using Locoid Lipocream without first consulting your physician.

Store at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15-30°C (59-86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Protect from freezing. Keep out of the reach of children.

Now younger eczema patients have something to smile about

Now approved for use in children down to 3 months of age

The power of an ointment with the elegance of a cream Locoid Lipocream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, including the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients 3 months of age and older.

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below 3 months of age have not been established.

Reversible HPA axis suppression may occur, with the potential for corticosteroid insufficiency. Consider periodic evaluations for HPA axis suppression if applied to large surface areas or used under occlusion. Systemic effects of topical corticosteroids may also include manifestations of Cushingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria. Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity due to their large skin surface-to-body-mass ratios. Initiate appropriate therapy if concomitant skin infection develops. Discontinue use if irritation develops. Please see full Prescribing Information on adjacent page.
