Skin lesions and oral lesions in particular may be identified as viral diseases by cytologic smears and finding of characterstic multinucleated giant cells and intranuclear inclusions known as tzanck test.

Definition: It is a cutaneous response seen in dermatoses, which appears on uninvolved skin of lesions typical of the skin disease at the site of trauma or scars.
•Sometimes just rubbing the skin can cause a lesion to develop.
Koebner's phenomenon is seen most often in psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and vitiligo. Also Known As: isomorphic phenomenon, isomorphic reaction

Koebner’s phenomenon in psoriasis vulgaris
![Page 8: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What traumas can trigger the Koebner phenomenon? Various traumas can trigger this response:-AbrasionsLacerationsBurnsScarsContact dermatitis
![Page 9: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In the case of psoriasis, lesions due to the
Koebner phenomenon may be concentrated on pressure areas.
Sunburn can also lead to psoriasis spreading massively over the body, known as the photo Koebner phenomenon.
Many dermatoses can cause the Koebner phenomenon, including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, herpes, lichen planus, chickenpox and vitiligo.

FEATURESThere is no effect of sex and age distribution
in koebner’s phenomenon.Fresh lesions may appear on scratch marks
or at sites of other non-specific traumas.(Koebner phenomenon)

KOEBNER’S PHENOMENON IN LICHEN PLANUS
![Page 12: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Definition: The Auspitz sign is simply bleeding that occurs after psoriasis scales have been removed. It occurs because the capillaries run very close to the surface of the skin under a psoriasis lesion, and removing the scale essentially pulls the tops off the capillaries, causing bleeding. also found in Darier's disease and actinic keratos
![Page 13: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Auspitz’ Sign can be used as a diagnostic tool for psoriasis.
The combination of inflamed, thickened skin with silvery scales and Auspitz’ Sign, however, appears to be unique to psoriasis.

![Page 15: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Autoimmune skin disorders sometimes are characterized by acantholysis , or loss of the normal epithelial cell-to-cell adhesion within the skin.
Clinically, these disorders present with blistering of the skin and include the pemphigus and pemphigoid groups of disorders.
On visual inspection only, these skin conditions are difficult to diagnose and may be confused with other types of skin disorder.
Nikolsky’s sign is a well-described clinical sign that canbe helpful in differentiating the autoimmune skin disorders and determining their prognosis.
![Page 16: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ELICITATIONPositive Nikolsky’s sign included the ability to
dislodge both affected skin (i.e , skin within or immediately adjacent to pemphigus lesions) and normal skin.
It helps to differentiate as it occurs in pemphigusfoliaceus and not pemphigus vulgaris because, inthe latter disorder, unaffected normal skin could notbe removed by lateral pressure.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY:
Primary histologic finding in patients with pemphigus is acantholysis with the occurrence of suprabasal epidermal / intraepidermal splits .These events presumably contribute to the epidermal separation , characteristic of a positive Nikolsky’s sign.
![Page 20: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF NIKOLSKY’S SIGN
In general, Nikolsky’s sign has been considered very
useful in differentiating the bullous skin diseases.Specifically, elicitation of the sign can help
distinguishpemphigus vulgaris, which is strongly associated
withthe sign, from bullous pemphigoid, in which the
sign isusually absent.
![Page 21: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
There are a number of other diseases associatedwith a positive Nikolsky’s sign. toxic epidermal necrolysis, staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, bullous impetigo, and epidermolysis bullosa all, can exhibit the sign.
![Page 22: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
LE CELL:These are cell , which appears i n blood of patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE).The LE cell is a result of an immunological mechanism where nucleoprotein or part (but not DNA) can be regarded as the Ag and LE cell factor as an Ab.
![Page 23: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PRINCIPLE:The test is based on the principle that ANA’s
(Anti Nuclear Antibodies) can’t penetrate the intact cells & thus cell nuclei s/b exposed to bind them with the ANA’s .
The binding of exposed nucleus with ANA’s result in homogenous mass of nuclear chromatin material which is c/d LE body or haematoxylin body.
![Page 24: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ProcedureBlood from SLE suspected patient is
withdrawnIt is centrifuged to separate serumThis serum is added to buffy coat of blood
from normal personObserved under microscopePositive reaction consists of rosettes of
neutrophils surrounding the nuclear material from a lymphocytes
![Page 25: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Morphology and histo-chemical studies
Blood is drawn from patient of SLE and allowed to stand for a matter of minutes.
LE cells began to appear ( LE cell phenomenon ).
It results from the action upon leukocytes of a substance in patient’s serum which migrates on electrophoresis .
This results in binding of denatured & damaged nucleus with ANA’S.
![Page 26: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The ANA-coated denatured nucleus is chemotactic for phagocytic cells.
If this mass is engulfed by a neutrophil , displacing the nuclei of neutrophil to the rim of the cell, it is c/d LE cell.
If the mass , more often an intact lymphocyte is phagocytosed by a monocyte, it is c/d TART cell.
![Page 27: 38 Tzanck Smear,Auspitz Sign ,Nikolsky Sign, Le Cell $ Koebners Phenonmenon](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012306/544eda07b1af9f2f638b5360/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
These altered nuclei then extruded from the cell and are phagocytized by other viable leukocytes.
The altered nuclei in their cytoplasm, are the LE cells.

newer & more sensitive immunoflourescence tests for
AutoAb Are +ve in almost 100% of cases of SLE.
