Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is characterized by erythematous, raised, indurated papules or plaques. DLE may rarely present as periorbital erythema and edema. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman with psoriasis localized on the trunk and extremities who developed prominent periorbital
The evolution, maturation, and regression of lesions of psoriasis were studied histologically. The earliest histologic changes in pinhead-sized macules of psoriasis consist of a superficial perivascular infiltrate of lymphocytes and histiocytes and dilation and tortuosity of the blood vessels in the
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is one of the neutrophilic dermatoses mainly caused by activated neutrophils and monocytes. Granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis (GCAP) is a useful extracorporeal circulation therapy for removal of activated granulocytes and monocytes. In this study,
Five cases of psoriasis pustulosa were examined by electron microscopy. The main features within the dermis were dilated capillaries filled with polymorphonuclear leukocytes and red cells. Neutrophils passed out of the vessels through the gaps and fenestrations and migrated towards the epidermis
Biologics used to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis may cause injection site reactions (ISRs) characterized by erythema, edema, itch, and sometimes pain. The Federal Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a repository of spontaneous post-marketing reports of adverse events This study was performed to ask whether psoriasis is a unique pathologic response of epidermis of psoriatic patients, or cells with natural killer receptors can induce psoriatic changes in skin from nonpsoriatic donors. Human nonlesional skin from five psoriatics, as well as from seven nonpsoriatics
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare form of psoriasis characterized by the presence of variable numbers of sterile pustules appearing in erythematous and scaly lesions, which are associated with moderate to severe constitutional symptoms. It can be life-threatening especially in the
Group A streptococcus (GAS) vulvitis is rare, mainly reported in association with vaginitis. We examined the clinical features of GAS vulvitis in adults, the presence of other infected sites, and its association with dermatological conditions.We Five patients with widespread plaque-type psoriasis were treated continuously with clobetasol under occlusion. Clinical healing was seen after 6-10 days of treatment. All plaques treated in this way clinically relapsed approximately 12 days later. During the period of remission, sequential biopsies
Cases about IgAN associated with EP are rare and the pathogenesis is poorly understood. We reported a 74-year-old Chinese male who suffered the IgAN and EP at the same time and explored a possible pathophysiologic link and points toward the possible BACKGROUND
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an immune suppressant that selectively inhibits activated lymphocytes. Its usefulness in treating psoriasis has not been systematically investigated.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate efficacy and safety of MMF as a monotherapy for psoriasis.
METHODS
This is a
OBJECTIVE
Palmo-plantar psoriasis and dermatitis show several overlapping clinical features. We undertook this retrospective study to elucidate and compare the histological findings in these two dermatoses.
METHODS
Biopsies of 31 clinically diagnosed cases of palmo-plantar psoriasis and 24 cases of
BACKGROUND
Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that develops in patients with psoriasis. Inflammatory edema in the spine may reflect subclinical disease activity and be a predictor of radiographic progression. A semi-quantitative method established by the spondyloarthritis
OBJECTIVE
To explore potential subclinical involvement of the axial skeleton by MRI of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and entire spine in patients with skin psoriasis without clinical evidence of peripheral or axial inflammation.
METHODS
Twenty patients with skin psoriasis but no clinical evidence of
