Terbinafine is an antifungaldrug(inhibitor of ergosterol synthesis) known to induce skin reactions. A 58-year-old female was treated with terbinafine for onychomycosis. On the fifth day of treatment a skin rash emerged on her sun-exposed areas. Biological testing did not find any allergic signs. Other skin reactions are well known with terbinafine, but we depict here, a case of photosensitisation induced by treatment, generally unknown for this antifungal. This side effect can be prevented by medication reconciliation and pharmaceutical advice from the clinical pharmacist.

Thoracic Research Center, Imam Khomeini, Hospital Complex, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a small-vessel inflammatory condition that can rarely occur as an adverse drug reaction (ADR). Vancomycin-induced LCV is an uncommon but potentially serious complication, particularly in patients with pre-existing renal impairment.
Reason For The Report: This case report describes a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who developed LCV following vancomycin therapy for a catheter-related infection.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disorder that affects both children and adults, characterized by pruritus and scaly, dry eczematous lesions. This study aimed to gather knowledge on the actual use and effectiveness of Pimecrolimus (PIM) in Chinese patients with mild-to-moderate AD affecting sensitive skin areas in routine clinical practice.
Methods: This multicentre and non-interventional study included 130 subjects from China, divided into two age groups (2-12 years and ≥12 years).
Identifying Adverse Events in Outpatients With Prostate Cancer Using Pharmaceutical Care Records in Community Pharmacies: Application of Named Entity Recognition.

Division of Drug Informatics, Keio University Faculty of Pharmacy, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Androgen receptor axis-targeting reagents (ARATs) have become key drugs for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). ARATs are taken long term in outpatient settings, and effective adverse event (AE) monitoring can help prolong treatment duration for patients with CRPC. Despite the importance of monitoring, few studies have identified which AEs can be captured and assessed in community pharmacies, where pharmacists in Japan dispense medications, provide counseling, and monitor potential AEs for outpatients prescribed ARATs.

Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells are a recently defined subtype of non-recirculating memory T cells with longevity and protective functions in peripheral tissues. As an essential frontline defense against infections, TRM cells have been reported to robustly patrol the tissue microenvironment in malignancies. Accumulating evidence also implicates that TRM cells in the relapse of chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and vitiligo.
