Abstract
Background
Sleep problems are common in patients with dermatologic disorders. However, it is unknown whether inflammatory skin disorders are associated with more sleep problems than noninflammatory skin disorders.

Purpose
To determine whether sleep problems occur more frequently in people with inflammatory skin disorders compared to noninflammatory skin disorders.

Study design
Observational case‐control study.

Methods
Patients with inflammatory skin disorders (psoriasis [n = 17] and chronic eczema [n = 30]) and noninflammatory skin disorders (nonmelanoma skin cancers [NMSC] [n = 31]) were enrolled. Data collection occurred during a single visit. Statistical analysis of questionnaire results between groups utilized inverse propensity score weighted (IPSW) ANOVA and logistic regression models.

Results
Groups differed in mean (SD) age (P < 0.001) and itch severity (P < 0.001). Based on IPSW ANOVA models, the inflammatory group had significantly higher fatigue scores (mean [95% CI]; 32.0 [28.4–35.5]) than the noninflammatory group (25.5 [21.6–29.3]; P = 0.017). The inflammatory group odds of insomnia were significantly greater based on two definitions of insomnia, ISI ≥ 15 and PSSQ‐I, with odds ratios (95% CI) of 14.4 (2.16–525) and 4.82 (1.45–20.7), respectively. These results were consistent in comparisons between the three groups, with no difference between psoriasis and chronic eczema, but with chronic eczema, significantly more were affected than NMSC.

Conclusions
Patients with inflammatory skin disorders report significantly more fatigue and have higher odds of insomnia compared to patients with noninflammatory skin cancers.

Abstract
Background
Stevens‐Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare and potentially life‐threatening mucocutaneous reactions. Given their rarity, limited cohort studies have been done. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the demographics, etiology, management, clinical and laboratory characteristics, complications, and outcome of SJS/TEN patients seen by the inpatient dermatology service at the University of Puerto Rico.

Methods
A retrospective review of 30 cases with identified diagnosis of SJS, overlap SJS/TEN, or TEN who were consulted to the Dermatology Department of the University of Puerto Rico from 2006 to 2017.

Results
A total of 24 adult and six pediatric cases were reviewed. Females were predominant with a female to male ratio of 1.3 : 1. The most frequent offending drugs identified were antibiotics (56.7%), anticonvulsants (23.3%), and nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (16.7%) with the most frequent antibiotic identified being trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (23.3%). Seventy percent of patients experienced at least one complication, most often of infectious etiology (80.1%). During hospital course, 73% received pharmacologic therapy (23% received IVIG alone, 17% received steroids alone, and 33% both) versus 27% which received only supportive care. Mortality rate in this study was 13.8%. When comparing SCORTEN at day one of admission, deceased cases had a mean SCORTEN at day 1 of 4.0, while survivors had an average of 1.54 (P < 0.001).

Conclusion
Antibiotics followed by anticonvulsants were the most frequently offending drugs identified within this study.

Abstract
Background
Stevens‐Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare conditions characterized by epidermal necrosis, mostly caused by drugs. Despite the rarity of these conditions, morbidity and mortality are high (even in previously healthy patients), and they may be associated with permanent sequelae.

Methods
A retrospective study conducted at a quaternary hospital in Brazil in a period of 10 years.

Results
The sample was composed by 41 patients with SJS, SJS/TEN, and TEN confirmed by skin biopsy. Antibiotics and anticonvulsants were the most frequently implied drug classes, and phenytoin was the most important individual culprit drug. In this study, 12.2% of the patients had sequelae, being ophthalmological lesions the most common and one case of a newly described hearing loss. The mortality rate was 16.7% in patients with TEN.

Conclusions
This study describes the largest Latin American case series of SJS and TEN with the diagnosis proven by skin biopsy and adds important data regarding the profile of the disease in Brazil. It also describes a novel sequelae of hearing loss.
