Nicolau syndrome #151

Closed OrphanetSwitzerland closed 3 months ago

OrphanetSwitzerland commented 5 months ago

Hello,

Please consider the inclusion in the nomenclature of the Nicolau syndrome (synonyms: Livedo-like dermatitis, Embolia cutis medicamentosa).

The request comes from a coder at a Swiss hospital. They have a patient with this “iatrogenic syndrome initially described to occur after intramuscular injections”.

Thank you

Dear @Orphanet-AysegulSenol, Could you please take care of this request and see if we can create an ORPHAcode for this syndrome in the coming disease meeting cycles. Thank you, Kind regards, Marie-Cécile

Dear @OrphanetSwitzerland,

I would like to inform you that "Nicolau syndrome" is now created (ORPHA:664787). "Livedo-like dermatitis" and "Embolia cutis medicamentosa" were also added as synonymes.

Thank you for the useful information you shared and also for your attention.

Best wishes,

Aysegul
