Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) normally binds to TNF-α receptors, leading to the inflammatory response of autoimmune diseases. Adalimumab is a TNF-inhibiting, anti-inflammatory, biological medication which binds to TNF-α, thus reducing this inflammatory response. The use of TNF-α-inhibiting medication, such as adalimumab, being the first FDA-approved treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa, has drastically changed the management of dermatological diseases. One rarely reported manifestation that occurs as a side effect associated with the use of TNF-α-blocking agents is erythroderma. This study, for the first time, reports the case of a patient suffering from hidradenitis suppurativa with concomitant psoriasis, who developed a severe and acute erythrodermic rash after the start of adalimumab therapy.

Importance: Surgery is frequently required for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) treatment, but the impact of common comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, and smoking on outcomes has been sparsely studied.
Observations: A total of 12 studies met final inclusion criteria for investigating complication rates associated with at least 1 comorbidity. Complication rates were associated with obesity in 3 of 10 studies.
Serum Immunoglobulin G Levels and Nicastrin Variation in Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Centre for Molecular Medicine and Biobanking, University of Malta, Malta.
Importance: Variation in nicastrin (NCSTN) is associated with a monogenic subtype of hidradenitis suppurativa. Dysregulation of humoral immunity has been suggested as a potential mechanistic link between NCSTN variation and hidradenitis suppurativa. There is a paucity of biomarkers that can predict disease-associated variation.

IL-17A, referred to as IL-17, is the founding member of a family of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E (or IL-25), and IL-17F, which act via receptors IL-17RA to IL-17RE, and elicit potent cellular responses that impact diverse diseases. IL-17's interactions with various cytokines include forming a heterodimer with IL-17F and being stimulated by IL-23's activation of Th17 cells, which can lead to inflammation and autoimmunity. IL-17 is implicated in infectious diseases and inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, promoting neutrophil recruitment and anti-bacterial immunity, but potentially exacerbating fungal and viral infections, revealing its dual role as protective and pathologic.
