A number of cases of psoriasis vulgaris developing bullous skin lesions have been diagnosed as either bullous pemphigoid with antibodies to the 180-kDa bullous pemphigoid antigen (BP180) non-collagenous 16a (NC16a) domain or anti-laminin-γ1 (p200) pemphigoid. We report a case of subepidermal bullous disease with psoriasis vulgaris, showing antibodies to both BP180 C-terminal domain and laminin-γ1. A 64-year-old Japanese man with psoriasis vulgaris developed exudative erythemas and tense bullae on the whole body but he did not have mucosal involvement. The blistering lesion showed subepidermal blisters histopathologically. In indirect immunofluorescence of 1 mol/L NaCl-split skin, immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies reacted with both the epidermal and dermal side. Immunoblotting showed positive IgG with recombinant protein of BP180 C-terminal domain and 200-kDa laminin-γ1 in normal human dermal extract.

Psoriasis is an uncommon immune-mediated adverse event linked to nivolumab, and its clinical characteristics remain inadequately defined. This study aims to investigate the clinical features and patterns of nivolumab-induced psoriasis, providing insights for the identification and management of this condition. Case reports and case series of nivolumab related psoriasis were gathered by searching Chinese and English databases for retrospective analysis until June 30, 2024.

Background: Despite the autoimmune nature of psoriasis, the potential association between psoriasis and interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the frequency and clinical features of ILD in patients with psoriasis and propose a new conceptual framework of "ILD associated with psoriasis".
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 117 patients with psoriasis was conducted, excluding those without chest imaging prior to methotrexate or biologic use and those with other comorbidities leading to ILD.

Psoriasis vulgaris remains a common inflammatory skin disease globally. The imbalance between Th17 and Treg cells plays an integral role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris, but the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. The role of AIM2 in Treg cell function in psoriasis is unclear.
