Pityriasis rosea (PR) is an acute exanthematous disease with an uncertain physiopathology, increasingly recognized as potentially drug induced. This study aims to investigate medication triggers associated with PR by analyzing cases reported in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. A retrospective review of 343 PR cases reported in the FAERS database from January 1, 1998, to March 31, 2024, was conducted.

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a prevalent dermatological condition characterized by a distinctive herald patch, followed by secondary eruptions, often forming a "Christmas tree" pattern on the trunk. Despite its recognizable clinical presentation, the etiology of PR remains uncertain, with hypotheses pointing to both infectious and noninfectious origins. Human herpesviruses (HHV) 6 and 7 have been implicated, with evidence suggesting viral reactivation as a potential trigger.

Evidence of "Silent" Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Psoriasis, Vitiligo, and Cases: A Pilot Study.

Indian J Dermatol

October 2024

From the Division of Biological Sciences, Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Background: Psoriasis (PS), vitiligo (VT), and (PR) are chronic skin diseases often occurring as a consequence of exaggerated immune responses. These skin manifestations can be triggered as a result of the molecular mimicry between viral protein (s) and host protein (s), which could generate auto-antibodies. In addition, it can be hypothesised that skin diseases are manifestations of the reduced immunity that is observed in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected individuals.

Article Synopsis
  • Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a skin condition that usually gets better on its own, often linked to reactivated human herpesviruses, causing mild rashes and itchiness.
  • Traditional treatment focuses on reassuring patients to rest, but severe cases may require medication, prompting a study comparing various treatments.
  • The analysis found that oral steroids and a combo with antihistamines were effective for itch relief, while acyclovir was the most effective for improving rash symptoms, making it the best option for more serious PR cases.
