The paper examines the implications of poor feeding on the displaced children by Boko Haram in North Eastern region of Nigeria using Adamawa camp as a unit of analysis. The paper used secondary data such as text books, journals and newspapers. The findings shows that most of the displaced children in Adamawa camp are in serious pathetic problems due to the way they left their houses without any adequate preparation as a result of the activities of Boko Haram insurgence, analysis of their camp situation indicate that some of them lack money to purchase basic necessity of life and the food provided lacks basic ingredient for growth and development of child as a result is creating problems to the survival of the displaced children leading to illness and death of many of them. Recommendations were made on how to improve the situation in the camp.

The clinical presentation hypopigmentation is a rare complication after intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide. A 32-year-old female, yellow race, visited our dermatology department for a hypopigmented patch in right dorsum of her right thumb. The lesion developed after injection of an intralesional corticosteroid. The patient was diagnosed with hypopigmentation secondary to the triamcinolone injection. Three months after injection, her hypopigmentation showed improvement upon physical examination. Hypopigmentation is a very rare side effect of intralesional triamcinolone injection, which may be associated with gender. The mechanism is unknown, need for further study.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder that involves the clonal proliferation of the Langerhans cells. LCH is often diagnosed in childhood, but any age group can be affected, from infancy through adulthood [1]. The cause of this disease is unknown, although many possibilities have been explored. The clinical presentation is highly variable. The severity and prognosis depend on the type and extent of organ involvement [3]. The disease classically presents with three syndromes namely Eosinophilic granuloma, Letterer-Siwe disease and Hand-Schuller-Christian disease [4]. Letterer-Siwe disease is the most common and serious of these entities, affecting mainly infants up to two years of age [5]. We present a case of this rare disease, diagnosed after dermatological examination, highlighting its typical aspects.

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired depigmenting disorder due to destruction of melanocytes, many hypotheses have been suggested for its pathogenesis. One of these hypotheses suggest that there are autoimmune and endocrine dysfunction involvement. The involvement of vitiligo with thyroid autoimmune diseases, with the increased prevalence of auto antibodies including thyroid auto antibodies in vitiligo support the hypothesis. Patients and Methods: 50 Libyan patients under same age and gender with vitiligo, and 50 controls . Patients were excluded if they had a history of thyroid, or other autoimmune diseases. Data on age, onset of illness, duration and disease activity were determined . Serum T3, T4, TSH , and antibodies to TPO and TG were measured in both vitiligo patients & controls. All patients and control subjects underwent thyroid ultrasonography. Results: Fifty patients with vitiligo and their 50 matched controls were studied. More than half of the patients (52%) were females and 48% were males, their mean of age was 40 ± 11 years, and the duration of vitiligo was 11± 9 years. Vitiligo vulgaris type was the most common form seen in 68% of the patients, and 42% reported at least one family member affected with vitiligo. Family history of thyroid disorder was seen in 20% of the patients. Thyroid functional abnormalities were significantly seen more in patients than control subjects. The frequency of TG and TPO thyroid autoantibodies was significantly higher in vitiligo patients than in healthy controls (P < 0.01). Abnormal thyroid ultrasound study was seen in 18 (36%) of the patients compared to 6 (12%) of the control subjects (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings pointed to a significant association between vitiligo and thyroid autoimmunity and showed that testing the level of thyroid autoantibodies is relevant in vitiligo patients.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma is an unusual, self-limiting dermatological disorder occurring especially in infants, late childhood and rarely in adults. It belongs to the broad group of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It usually appears as solitary or multiple papules, macules or nodules several millimeters in diameter with the head and neck being the most common site of involvement and vulva being the rare site. We report two cases of juvenile xanthogranuloma in an 18 months old female and 18 months old male. The female presented with three yellow papules measuring 2-3 mm in diameter around vulva region since 4 months. Similarly, the male presented with multiple tan-orange color macules on head and forehead measuring 3-4mm in diameter since 6 months. In both the cases, a biopsy without total excision was performed. The clinical and histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma. In childhood, juvenile xanthogranuloma is necessary to differentiate from another probable differential diagnosis by biopsy.

A 62-year-old man of Moroccan origin, without pathological history, was hospitalized at the Intensive Care Unit for a GBS With respiratory distress, appeared 7 days after the onset of a generalized erythematous-vesicular eruption, pruriginous evolving in a febril context. The dermatological examination found multiple erosions covered with haemorrhagic crises, diffuse on the body (Figures 1 and 2). Clinically evoking the diagnosis of chickenpox as the history revealed that his wife had a varicella confirmed by a dermatologist two weeks before his symptomatology. A study of nerve conduction had confirmed polyneuropathic inflammatory demyelinator Acute. A biological and radiological evaluation (thoracic, brain scan) were without abnormality.

Scarring alopecia in association with follicular hyperkeratosis is the primary characteristic of keratosis pilaris atrophicans (KPA). It affects mainly the face and scalp and can be inflammatory in nature [1]. Widespread KP can also be seen. keratosis pilaris atrophicans is a group of cutaneous disorders that may represent a spectrum of 1 disease. Differences in localization and the degree of inflammation and atrophy have been used to distinguish these various disorders [1]. They are genetic disorders with different modes of inheritance. Heterogeneity in the mode of inheritance exists not only between different types of KPA but also within 1 type, such as keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD) [1, 2]. The pathogenesis is not known, but abnormal follicular keratinization has been suggested.

Clinical examination revealed clear strained vesicular bubbles based on an erythematous skin, grouped like rosette, clear and hemorrhagic bubble flaccid and tense., sitting at the neck, forearms, elbows, hands, knees, feet, navel hives plates at the forearm, trunk, periorbital erosions, erosions of the hard palate, erosive cheilitis (Figures 1,2,3,4). Nikolski was negatf. The histology and immunofluorecence confirmed diagnosis of EBA, and the patient was treated with colchicine and oral steroids, without improvement , then, was treated with methotrexate without any improvement. Then, we opted for dapsone, with good wound healing with a decline of 2 years. Discussion
