Association between COVID-19 vaccination and bullous pemphigoid - a case series and literature review.

Bullous pemphigoid is an acquired autoimmune blistering dermatosis that is commonly associated with high morbidity and mortality. New-onset bullous pemphigoid following vaccinations has rarely been reported in the literature. We report two cases of new-onset bullous pemphigoid after COVID-19 vaccination followed by a brief literature review.

Prospective, randomized, open-label trial comparing the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of an acne treatment regimen with and without a probiotic supplement and minocycline in subjects with mild to moderate acne.

Background: Systemic antibiotics are an effective treatment for acne vulgaris. However, intolerable side effects may invariably occur.

Objective: To determine whether probiotics reduce the side effects imparted by systemic antibiotics while working synergistically with the latter in treating inflammatory acne.

Likelihood of dermatology patients to inquire about sun protection measures during a regular clinic visit.

Background: Health information-seeking behavior refers to ways individuals acquire health information. Few studies demonstrate its association with skin cancer.

Objectives: To determine the likelihood of patients to inquire about sun protection methods from dermatologists and whether such knowledge will affect their preventive behaviors.

Pyogenic ventriculitis complicating Aggregatibacter aphrophilus infective endocarditis: A case report and literature review.

Pyogenic ventriculitis (PV) is an uncommon, but frequently fatal infection that results from inflammation of the ventricular ependymal lining associated with a purulent ventricular system. PV has been rarely reported as a secondary complication of infective endocarditis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with appropriate culture-directed antibiotics with adequate central nervous system penetration is crucial when managing patients who are suspected of having PV.
