Article Abstract

Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare immune-mediated skin disorder of the dog, usually treated with immunosuppressive medications such as oral glucocorticoids, azathioprine or ciclosporin. Herein we report the successful treatment of pemphigus vulgaris in a dog, using oclacitinib and a topical product containing fucidic acid (0.5 % w/w) and betamethasone valerate.

Introduction: Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a cytoplasmic signaling protein expressed across a variety of immune cells, terminally differentiated plasma cells, and natural killer cells. Due to the signal potential and targetable nature of BTK, the use of BTK inhibitors (BTKis) has been proposed for the management of several diseases. Currently, the use of BTKis is under investigations for several dermatological conditions such as pemphigus, systemic lupus erythematosus, hidradenitis suppurativa, atopic dermatitis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU).

Case report: A rollercoaster journey of pemphigus vegetans.

Front Immunol

Department of Rheumatology, Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.

Pemphigus vegetans (P Veg), the rarest subtype of pemphigus, is characterized by vegetative plaques, primarily affecting intertriginous areas. The most common autoantibodies target desmoglein 3 (Dsg3). A 60-year-old female patient presented with well-demarcated red vegetative plaques on her feet, vulva, and thigh, accompanied by surrounding pustules.

Autoimmune diseases (AID) are defined by immune dysregulation characterized by specific humoral and/or cell mediated responses directed against the body's own tissues. Cytokines in particular play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of AID, with proinflammatory cytokines contributing to the initiation and propagation of autoimmune inflammation, whereas anti-inflammatory cytokines facilitate regression of inflammation and recovery from acute phases of the disease. Parallel work by our group evaluating a comprehensive set of pro- and anti-inflammatory serum cytokines in Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) as well as Alopecia areata (AA) uncovered a similar pattern of inheritance specific immune dysregulation in these two distinct autoimmune skin diseases.

Background: Autoimmune bullous disorder (AIBD) is a diverse group of blistering dermatoses that affects the skin and mucous membrane, characterized by the formation of autoantibodies against the desmosomal glycoproteins and adhesion molecular components of the basement membrane zone. Various immunoassay techniques for serological diagnosis are Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF), Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF), Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting. Quantitative ELISA titer can also be used to monitor the disease activity and response to treatment.
