CONT

Les Saprolegniaceae du genre Saprolegnia, Aphanomyces et Achlya peuvent infecter les amphibiens, les mollusques, les crustacés, les poissons et leurs œufs causant la maladie que l'on nomme la saprolégniose. [...] La saprolégniose est souvent une infection secondaire qui est diagnostiquée par l'apparition de touffes cotonneuses blanches ou grisâtres qui, lorsque sorties de l'eau, ont une apparence plutôt mucoïde.

CONT

The term cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) encompasses a broad group of lymphomatous neoplasms of helper T cells that present in the skin but later may involve lymph nodes, peripheral blood cells, and the viscera. They vary in histology, immunophenotype, and prognosis.

CONT

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma can cause rash-like skin redness, slightly raised or scaly round patches on the skin, and, sometimes, skin tumors. Several types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma exist. The most common type is mycosis fungoides. Sezary syndrome is a less common type that causes skin redness over the entire body.

OBS

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is one of several types of lymphoma collectively called non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

CONT

Mycosis fungoides(MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma(CTCL). It is an indolent(slow growing) non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL) that develops over many years or even decades. It accounts for around half of all skin lymphomas. Mycosis fungoides(MF) starts in the skin and tends to remain only in the skin. MF can appear as patches, plaques or tumours. MF often occurs in areas of the skin that are protected from the sun by clothing.

CONT

Mycosis fungoides-type cutaneous T-cell lymphoma(MF-CTCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the initial localization of malignant T cells in the skin.

CONT

MF-CTCL is a disease of slow progression that is difficult to classify and often, in its early stages, presents a diagnostic challenge, as many of the signs and symptoms are non-specific or easy to confuse with other conditions. Consequently, many patients are misdiagnosed with other dermatological conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Infection with [Aphanomyces] invadans is a seasonal epizootic condition of great importance in wild and farmed freshwater and estuarine fish. It has a complex infectious aetiology and is clinically characterised by the presence of invasive A. invadans infection and necrotising ulcerative lesions, typically leading to a granulomatous response. Infection with A. invadans is most commonly known as epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS).

DEF

A treatment involving exposing patients to ultraviolet radiation after they have taken methoxsalen (8-MOP).

CONT

Recently there has been a rapid development in the world-wide use of oral and topical methoxsalen (8-methoxypsoralen; 8-MOP) with long wave ultraviolet light (UVA) for treating patients with psoriasis. This form of photochemotherapy is known as PUVA treatment, and is effective in clearing and maintaining a remission of psoriasis in most patients treated.

OBS

The light activates the drug, which then binds to DNA and causes cell death. Since the effects are confines to the skin, this is a treatment for mycosis fungoides as well as other skin disorders. A possible side effect of this treatment is the development of secondary skin cancers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitements non chirurgicaux
  • Épiderme et derme

Il semble que la PUVA thérapie provoque une inhibition de la kératinisation anormale, probablement due à un gène de réflexion et que ce phénomène puisse être relié à des modifications des centres fibrillaires du nucléole du kératinocyte psoriasique.

Puesto que sólo se afecta la piel, esto es un tratamiento para la micosis fungoide, así como para otras alteraciones de la piel. Un posible efecto secundario de este tratamiento es el desarrollo de cánceres de la piel secundarios.
