In many cases, chronic inflammatory dermatoses are accompanied by changes of the nails or periungual region. Sometimes nail changes occur even before the onset of the particular skin disease. In some cases, specific lesions of the nails and the perionychium can contribute to the diagnosis. This review describes the most common nail and periungual changes in chronic inflammatory dermatoses and the corresponding treatment options. Among others, this review deals with nail changes in collagenoses, autoimmune bullous dermatoses, alopecia areata, lichen planus and atopic eczema. Nail psoriasis is not discussed here, as this special edition contains a review devoted entirely to the complex topic of nail psoriasis.

Fc-mediated immune stimulating, pro-inflammatory and antitumor effects of anti-HER2 IgE against HER2-expressing and trastuzumab-resistant tumors.

Background: Anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) IgG1-based antibody therapies significantly improve cancer prognosis, yet intrinsic or acquired resistance to fragment antigen-binding (Fab)-mediated direct effects commonly occurs. Most resistant tumors retain antigen expression and therefore remain potentially targetable with anti-HER2 therapies that promote immune-mediated responses. Tumor-antigen-specific IgE class antibodies can mediate powerful immune cell-mediated effects against different cancers and have been shown to activate IgE Fc receptor-expressing monocytes.

Pulmonary fibrosis encompasses different chronic interstitial lung diseases, and the predominant form, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, remains to have a poor prognosis despite 2 approved therapies. Although the exact pathobiological mechanisms are still incompletely understood, epithelial injury and aberrant wound healing responses contribute to the gradual change in lung architecture and functional impairment. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-induced lysophosphatidic receptor 1 (LPA1) signaling was proposed to be a driver of lung fibrosis, and LPA1 antagonists have shown promising antifibrotic profiles in early clinical development.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, inflammatory disease with heterogeneous clinical features. The pathogenesis of PsA involves a complex interplay of genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors, leading to the activation of the immune system and subsequent inflammation. Over the past decade, the understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying PsA has advanced significantly, particularly regarding the role of the interleukin-23/T helper 17 pathway in the disease process.

Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder most commonly affecting areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, face, axilla, and groin. Several factors can precipitate SD development, such as colonization of Malassezia, sebocyte activity, impaired immunity, and environmental influences. Topical antifungals, corticosteroids, and calcineurin inhibitors are the current mainstay treatment of SD.

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.
