Is there a cure for chronic constipation?
Hello, I see you are asking "What are the treatments for panniculitis, idiopathic nodular?" #Analgesics such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be prescribed for pain. #Dressings should be applied if there are ulcers. Systemic corticosteroids such as oral prednisone may be #effective in severe nodular panniculitis.

How is erythema multiforme diagnosed?
There are a few other skin eruptions that mimic erythema nodosum, so the physician may have to perform a biopsy to sort them out. There are a few types of panniculitis, fat inflammation, that may signal a cancer somewhere.
Where can you have lupus rashs?
Lupus rashes can appear anywhere. Some people get a malar or "butterfly" rash across the cheeks and nose. People with discoid lupus get rashes on parts of the body that are exposed to the sun. Hives and welts can occur on any part of the body. Bullous lupus causes large, fluid filled blisters that often occur on the hands and feet but can occur in other places as well. Petechaie and purpura look like a rash but are the result of blood leaking into the tissues as a result of low platelets. Panniculitis is an inflammation of fat pockets causing a deep dimpling effect.

What is the genotype of alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency?
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency is a genetic disorder that is passed along through generations. This is a deficiency in a protein of the lungs and the liver. If left untreated, it can ultimately lead to lung and liver disease.
What does a high level of esinophils 576 in the blood mean?
This from: Center for Eosinophilic Disorder at Cincinnati's Children's Hospital @ http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/svc/alpha/e/eosinophilic/about/conditions.htm There are many disorders where the eosinophils have been found elevated either in the blood or in different tissues. The experts in the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorder at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center provide a list of general categories of diseases with some examples included. Allergic Disorders: Allergic disorders are classically characterized by presence of eosinophils. Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (hay fever) has increased levels of eosinophils in the nasal mucosa. Asthma, after an exacerbation, shows increased eosinophils in the lung. Drug Reactions: Any drug/medicine can precipitate a reaction. Some of these reactions are allergic in nature and eosinophils might be elevated in blood or in tissues where the drug is concentrated. Infectious Diseases: Parasitic infections (Helminthiasis-worms), fungal infections and some other types of infections are associated with increased eosinophils. Blood Disorders: A few examples of hematologic disorders with increased esoinophils include the hypereosinophilic syndrome, leukemias, lymphomas, tumors, mastocytosis and atheroembolic disease. Immunologic Disorders and Reactions: Hyper-IgE syndrome, Ommen's syndrome, thymomas, transplant rejections are only a few types of conditions with increased eosinophils. Endocrine Disorders: Hypoadrenalism has been associated with blood eosinophilia. • • • • • • • • • Specific Organ Involvement: Below are certain conditions organized by the organs/tissues that are affected where eosinophils have been found to be increased or pathologically present. Skin and subcutaneous disorders Atopic dermatitis (eczema), bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, dermatitis herpetiformis, drug-induced lesions, urticaria, eosinophilic panniculitis, angioedema with eosinophilia, Kimura's disease, Shulman's syndrome, Well's syndrome, eosinophilic ulcer of the oral mucosa, eosinophilic pustular folliculitis and recurrent cutaneous necrotizing eosinophilic vaculitis. Pulmonary conditions Drug/Toxin-induced eosinophilic lung disease, Loeffler's syndrome, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, eosinophilic pneumonia, Churg-Strauss syndrome, eosinophilic granuloma, pleural eosinophilia. Gastrointestinal diseases Gastroesophageal reflux, parasitic infections, fungal infections, Helicobacter pylori infections, inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), food allergic disorders, protein-induced enteropathy and protein-induced enterocolitis, allergic colitis, celiac disease, primary eosinophilic esophagitis, gastroenteritis and colitis. Rare tumors (leiomyomatosis), connective tissue disorders and vasculitic disorders. Neurologic disorders Organizing chronic subdural hematoma membranes, central nervous system infections, ventriculoperitoneal shunts, drug-induced adverse reactions. Rheumatologic illnesses Eosinophilic synovitis, eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome, vaculitic disorders such as the Churg-Strauss Syndrome. Cardiac conditions Heart damage has been reported secondary to systemic disorders such as the hypereosinophilic syndrome or the Churg-Strauss syndrome. Certain congenital heart conditions (septal defects, aortic stenosis) are associated with blood esoinophilia. Renal diseases Eosinophiluria (eosinophils in the urine) associated with infections or interstitial nephritis and eosinophilic cystitis.

Erythema nodosum?
DefinitionErythema nodosum is an inflammatory disorder that is characterized by tender, red nodules under the skin.Causes, incidence, and risk factorsIn about half of cases, the exact cause of erythema nodosum is unknown. Some cases may be associated with the following:Infections. Some of the more common ones are: Streptococcus (most common)Cat scratch diseaseChlamydiaCoccidioidomycosisHepatitis BHistoplasmosisLeptospirosisMononucleosis(EBV)MycobacteriaMycoplasmaPsittacosisSyphilisTuberculosisTularemiaYersiniaPregnancySensitivity to certain medications, including: Amoxicillin and other penicillinsSulfonamidesSulfonesOral contraceptivesOther antibioticsProgestinOther associated disorders include leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoidosis, rheumatic fever, Bechet's disease, and ulcerative colitis.The condition is more common in women than it is in men.SymptomsErythema nodosum is most common on the shins, but it may also occur on other areas of the body (buttocks, calves, ankles, thighs, and arms).The lesions begin as flat, firm, hot, red, painful lumps approximately an inch across. Within a few days they may become purplish, then over several weeks fade to a brownish, flat patch.Other symptoms may include:FeverGeneral ill feeling (malaise)Joint achesSkin redness, inflammation, or irritationSwelling of the leg or other affected areaThe red and inflamed skin symptoms may regress to a bruise-like appearance.Signs and testsThe diagnosis is primarily based on the appearance of the skin nodules.Punch biopsy of a nodule may show characteristic changes (septal panniculitis).Throat culture may be done to reule out a strep infection.Chest x-ray may be done to rule out sarcoidosis or tuberculosis.TreatmentThe underlying infection, drug, or disease should be identified and treated. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) may reduce symptoms. An oral potassium iodide (SSKI) solution may produce prompt resolution of the nodules.Corticosteroids or salicylate medications may be needed to reduce acuteinflammation. Analgesics and limitation of activity may be needed to control varying amounts of pain.Topical therapy is not generally needed, although hot or cold compresses may reduce discomfort.Expectations (prognosis)Erythema nodosum is uncomfortable, but it is usually not dangerous. Symptoms typically disappear within about 6 weeks, but may recur.Calling your health care providerCall for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of erythema nodosum.ReferencesSchwartz RA, Nervi SJ.
