November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness and safety of intense pulsed light (IPL) and pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatments for managing psoriatic nails in 20 patients over 6 months.
- Both treatments showed significant improvement in psoriatic nail scores, but no notable differences in effectiveness or responses between the two methods were found.
- Intense pulsed light was reported to be more painful for patients, and while both treatments improved quality of life, complete clearance of nail lesions was not achieved.
Background: There is strong evidence for an autoimmune etiology of alopecia areata (AA). Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a Th17 proinflammatory cytokine that has been linked to the pathogeneses of diverse autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
Objectives: This study aimed to measure serum IL-17A in AA patients and to study associations between IL-17A levels and AA severity, duration, and age of onset, and patient gender and age.
