Inborn errors of immunity are monogenic disorders that predispose patients to immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, and infection. Some autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune cytopenias, systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel diseases, are increasingly recognized as phenotypes of inborn errors of immunity. The objective of this article was to identify red flags or clinical/laboratory markers to suspect inborn errors of immunity in patients with autoimmune cytopenias, systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel diseases through a systematic literature review.

Cutaneous (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are autoimmune diseases with a multifactorial pathogenesis. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the most important trigger of CLE; however, the degree of photosensitivity varies between the clinical subtypes. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-important enzymes involved in skin turnover and homeostasis-is modulated by UVR.

Article Synopsis
  • - Two cases of chilblain lupus erythematosus (CLE) were reported that may have been triggered by ultraviolet (UV) nail lamps.
  • - The cases, alongside existing literature, indicate a potential connection between the use of UV nail lamps and the development or reactivation of CLE.
  • - More research is necessary to verify this link, but healthcare providers should be cautious about the risks associated with UV nail lamps, particularly for patients with conditions sensitive to light.

Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review aimed to analyze the prevalence and characteristics of skin manifestations associated with COVID-19, as these can assist in diagnosis, especially since the details were unclear.
  • The review included 31 studies with over 10,000 patients and found that the overall prevalence of skin manifestations was about 29%, predominantly observed in Africa, with hands, feet, and trunk being most affected.
  • Patients with milder COVID-19 symptoms showed more specific skin conditions compared to those with severe cases, indicating that skin assessments should be a key part of evaluating and diagnosing COVID-19, particularly in adults and the elderly.
