Residual non-specific and disease-specific inflammatory markers in successfully treated young psoriasis patients: a cross-sectional study.

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease. The systemic inflammation triggered by psoriasis contributes significantly to increased cardiovascular risk. While various treatments completely clear the skin, the associated effects on systemic inflammation are not yet clear.

Microblading reaction as a manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis: two case reports and a review of the literature.

Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease characterized by granulomatous inflammation. Sarcoidosis often poses a diagnostic challenge owing to its nonspecific or mild clinical features. In 20-35% of cases, sarcoidosis initially presents on skin.

Digging into uncertainty: a case report on Spitz lesions.

Spitz lesions represent a spectrum of melanocytic proliferations, and they include Spitz nevi, atypical Spitz tumors, and Spitz melanomas. Atypical Spitz tumors are intermediate melanocytic lesions with features between benign Spitz nevi and malignant Spitz melanomas. They often present a diagnostic challenge to pathologists and dermatologists alike because they can mimic melanoma, especially high-grade atypical Spitz tumors.

Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Inversa - Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa inversa is a very rare subtype of inherited dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa with a unique clinical manifestation. Generalized blistering in the neonatal period and in early infancy improves with age, with lesions becoming restricted to intertriginous areas, axial parts of the trunk, and mucous membranes. In contrast to other variants of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, the inverse type has a more favorable prognosis.

Killing Two Birds with One Stone: Potential Therapies Targeting Psoriasis and Atherosclerosis at the Same Time.

Psoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease. Due to systemic inflammation, it is associated with many comorbidities. Among them, cardiovascular diseases represent the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in this population.

Acquired epidermodysplasia verruciformis in a renal transplant patient: a case report.

Acquired epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a rare disease. It can develop in immunocompromised patients due to infection with human papillomaviruses. Because such patients are at high risk of developing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, timely diagnosis and regular monitoring of the patient is essential.

Perianal herpetic ulcer with rapid spreading: a sign of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Perianal skin lesions are present in a significant portion of dermatology patients. It is therefore important for every dermatologist to be familiar with a wide range of differential diagnoses and to treat the underlying cause in a timely manner. Here we present the case of a 24-year-old male with perianal ulceration due to a newly diagnosed herpes simplex virus infection.

Angiokeratomas and treatment with enzyme replacement therapy in a patient with Fabry disease.

Angiokeratomas are the cutaneous hallmark of Fabry disease. Although it is well established that enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) prevents or slows the progression of disease on target organs in the majority of patients, the long-term effect of ERT on angiokeratomas remains unknown. We present a patient diagnosed with Fabry disease at age 11, with rapid progression of new angiokeratomas in typical regions before beginning treatment with ERT.

Atypical hand, foot, and mouth disease in an adult patient: a case report and literature review.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagious disease that predominantly affects children under the age of five. The illness is much less common in adults and often presents with atypical skin lesions. Here we describe the case of a 19-year-old healthy, immunocompetent male patient with atypical clinical presentation, with a macular rash on the scalp, palms, soles, and shins, and with minimal lesions in the oral cavity.
