Background: The term pustular psoriasis indicates a group of severe skin disorders characterized by eruptions of neutrophil-filled pustules. The disease, which often manifests with concurrent psoriasis vulgaris, can have an acute systemic (generalized pustular psoriasis [GPP]) or chronic localized (palmoplantar pustulosis [PPP] and acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau [ACH]) presentation. Although mutations have been uncovered in IL36RN and AP1S3, the rarity of the disease has hindered the study of genotype-phenotype correlations.

We present a case of antisynthetase syndrome manifesting with interstitial lung disease, mechanic's hands, nailfold abnormalities, and subclinical myositis, in the presence of antibodies to the aminoacyl tRNA synthetase PL-12 and also to Ro52. Antibodies to Ro52 have been recently associated with idiopathic inflammatory myositis, but there have only been occasional reports of this antibody occurring in association with aminoacyl tRNA synthetases, including PL-12. Our case adds to the descriptions of the concurrence of antibodies to PL-12 and Ro52.

Background: Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe early onset of destructive periodontitis leading to premature loss of both primary and permanent dentitions. The etiopathogenesis of the condition suggests that there is a genetic basis for susceptibility to specific virulent pathogens. Variation in the clinical presentation of PLS has recently been observed.
