A pilot study of the effect on quality of life of childhood psoriasis is presented. Of the children interviewed, 65% experienced stigmatization to a certain extent, 71% reported itching, and 43% complained about fatigue. Clinicians should pay attention to these items to initiate patient-tailored treatment.

Approaches and outcomes of adalimumab discontinuation in patients with well-controlled inflammatory arthritis: a systematic search and review.
Pediatr Rheumatol Online J
December 2024
Division of Immunology, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Objective: This systematic search and review aimed to evaluate the available literature on discontinuation of adalimumab and other tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) for patients with well-controlled chronic inflammatory arthritides.
Methods: We conducted a publication search on adalimumab discontinuation from 2000-2023 using PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. Included studies evaluated adalimumab discontinuation approaches, tapering schemes, and outcomes including successful discontinuation and recapture after flare, in patients with well-controlled disease.

Article Synopsis
- Genetic diseases that cause skin fragility are diverse in their symptoms and genetic causes, making it crucial for healthcare professionals to differentiate them from more common conditions like infections or burns.
- The classification of these rare diseases is guided by their clinical presentation, histological characteristics, and genetic mutations, with most treatments being symptomatic rather than curative.
- Advances in genetic testing have integrated the study of these rare diseases into everyday clinical practice, emphasizing the need for collaboration among specialists to ensure proper diagnosis and care for affected children.
Rupioid psoriasis, a unique presentation treated with Ustekinumab.

Department of Dermatology, Tishreen University Hospital, Lattakia, Syria.
Rupioid psoriasis is a rare subtype of psoriasis characterized by distinctive lesions resembling oyster shells, known as rupioid lesions. This subtype is particularly uncommon in the pediatric population and is often associated with poor treatment compliance. Ustekinumab, an IgG monoclonal antibody, targets IL-12 and IL-23, reducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-2, and IL-17α, which play vital roles in psoriasis pathophysiology.

Erythroderma is the end-stage condition caused by various inflammatory diseases, presenting with widespread generalized coalesced erythema on the trunk and extremities. Erythroderma is not a disease itself, but rather is a symptom expressing erythrodermic condition, which is frequently associated with inguinal lymphadenopathy, chills, and mild fever. The clinical characteristics include sparing the folds of the trunk and extremities (deck-chair sign), and cobblestone-like disseminated grouping prurigo; however, the deck-chair sign is not specific to papulo-erythroderma (Ofuji disease).
