Paradoxical reactions are characterized by the emergence or worsening of a pathological condition that typically responds to the administered drug while treating the patient for another condition. Certain drugs, such as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, can induce pyoderma gangrenosum. Recently, the drug secukinumab has been implicated in a few case reports as a potential cause of pyoderma gangrenosum after initiation. We report the first case of biologic-refractory ulcerative colitis presenting with parastomal pyoderma gangrenosum after the initiation of secukinumab. While these associations are still being investigated, they highlight the importance of monitoring patients for possible adverse skin reactions when starting new medications.

With this short communication, which contains a new case report on diabetic ulcer, we summarize our research progress in treating several complex conditions at a point where currently available treatments were failing to help the affected patients. We review the first case of lower back pain due to severe spondylitis (T12-L1) treated with intravenous injections of a sterile fraction of human purified amniotic fluid (ViX001) obtained from thoroughly screened volunteers at the time of planned c-section at the term of normal pregnancies. Then, we review the first case of recalcitrant diabetic ulcer treated successfully by twice-daily applications of ViX001 directly on the wound and describe another case of diabetic ulcer treated successfully with ViX001.

We report a nine-month-old girl with PG who presented with high-grade fever and rapidly progressive ulcers at the site of a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) inoculation 2 months after the immunization. Additional small pustules developed on her hand and posterior neck three months after the immunization and rapidly progressed.
