[Hemichorea caused by polycythemia vera].

Sodemann NW, Brask-Thomsen PK, van Kooten Niekerk PB
Ugeskrift for laeger •

Polycythaemia vera (PV) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder. PV should be suspected with hemoglobin >10.2/9.9 mmol/L (m/f) and/or PV-related features (aquagenic pruritus, erythromelalgia, atypical thrombosis, splenomegaly, thrombocytosis or leukocytosis). This case report highlights the connection between PV and neurological manifestations, including rare symptoms like chorea. An 82-year-old woman presented with sudden choreiform movements, dysarthria, and behavioral changes. Investigations ruled out primary neurological disease and confirmed PV. With treatment, the neurological symptoms resolved.

Sex differences in the incidence of skin and skin-related diseases in Olmsted County, Minnesota, United States, and a comparison with other rates published worldwide.

Andersen LK, Davis MD
International journal of dermatology •

Many skin and skin-related diseases affect the sexes unequally, with attendant implications for public health and resource allocation. To evaluate better the incidence of skin and skin-related diseases affecting males vs. females, we reviewed published population-based epidemiology studies of skin disorders performed utilizing Rochester Epidemiology Project data. Females had a higher incidence of the following diseases: connective tissue diseases (scleroderma, morphea, dermatomyositis, primary Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus [not in all studies]), pityriasis rosea, herpes progenitalis, condyloma acuminatum, hidradenitis suppurativa, herpes zoster (except in children), erythromelalgia, venous stasis syndrome, and venous ulcers. Males had a higher incidence of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, basal cell carcinoma (exception, females aged ≤40 years), squamous cell carcinoma, and lentigo maligna. Incidence rates were equal in males and females for cutaneous malignant melanoma (exception, higher in females aged 18-39 years), lower-extremity cellulitis, cutaneous nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, Behçet disease, delusional infestation, alopecia areata, and bullous pemphigoid. Many of the population-based sex-specific incidence rates of skin and skin-related diseases derived from the Rochester Epidemiology Project are strikingly different from those estimated elsewhere. In general, females are more commonly affected by skin and skin-related diseases. The reasons for this imbalance remain to be determined and are likely multifactorial.
