The understanding of pembrolizumab-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) /toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) primarily derives from case reports, leaving specific clinical features largely unknown. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics associated with pembrolizumab-induced SJS/TEN and to encourage the judicious use of pembrolizumab. Retrieve reports on pembrolizumab induced SJS/TEN before September 30, 2024 for retrospective analysis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) represent new anticancer agents and have been used worldwide. However, ICI can potentially induce life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR), such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), hindering continuous ICI therapy. We examine 6 cohorts including 25 ICI-induced SJS/TEN patients and conduct single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis, which shows overexpression of macrophage-derived CXCL10 that recruits CXCR3 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in blister cells from ICI-SJS/TEN skin lesions.

Background: Bothrops venom consists primarily of metalloproteinase and phospholipase A2 toxins, which are responsible for the acute inflammatory, coagulant and hemorrhagic action following snakebite. The local effects of snakebite envenomation by Bothrops species are particularly prevalent yet poorly studied, but include pain, edema, erythema, blistering, bleeding, and ecchymosis.
Methods And Findings: In this study, we describe the dermatopathological findings observed in a series of 22 patients diagnosed with Bothrops envenomation treated in a tertiary hospital of Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazon.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment by enhancing the immune system's ability to target cancer cells. However, ICIs can lead to immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including dermatologic manifestations such as bullous pemphigoid (BP).
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of omalizumab and other biologics in the treatment of ICI-induced refractory bullous pemphigoid and to derive a strategy for selecting biologic treatments for this condition.

Background: Conventional systemic corticosteroid therapy for bullous pemphigoid (BP) has been challenged due to severe adverse events. Dupilumab has emerged as an alternative therapeutical option of BP patients.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab monotherapy and the combination with medium/low-dose corticosteroids for BP treatment.
