Case report: Low-dose interleukin-2: a treatment of bullous pemphigoid with predominantly perifollicular blistering caused by PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor.

Department of Dermatology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, China.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of low-dose interleukin (IL-2) treatment for bullous pemphigoid (BP) caused by anti-programmed cell death protein 1/ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors.
Methods: Low-dose IL-2 treatment was standardized for BP. The Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI), 5D-Itch Scale (5D-IS), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were recorded before and after treatment, and hexachromatic lymphocytes, regulatory T cells (Treg cells), and cytokines were measured.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most prevalent autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. This disease typically affects the elderly and manifests with pruritus and localized or, most commonly, generalized bullous lesions. Numerous studies have established the association between BP and oral antidiabetic agents, particularly dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors, diuretics, and certain antibiotics, notably levofloxacin and cephalexin.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease characterised by autoantibodies against basal skin membrane antigens. Although the condition's aetiology remains unclear, recent cases have raised suspicions of an association with immunisation. In this study, we present a case of BP onset in a four-month-old infant following routine vaccination.

Article Synopsis
- - Macrophages are key immune cells that play diverse roles in the body, especially in the skin, which is the largest immune organ and is crucial for studying various skin-related conditions.
- - This review focuses on recent findings about macrophages in inflammatory skin diseases like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, as well as skin tumors such as melanoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
- - The goal is to enhance understanding of how macrophages contribute to these diseases and explore potential new treatments targeting them.

We present the case of a 36-year-old paraplegic woman with a history of spinal cord injury who developed a generalized blistering rash, later diagnosed as bullous pemphigoid (BP). During her hospitalization, she was treated with prednisone and rituximab infusions, transitioning to maintenance therapy with topical steroids, doxycycline, and nicotinamide. A year later, she presented with concerns about a BP flare on her feet.
