    DRESS syndrome with thrombotic microangiopathy revealing a Noonan syndrome: Case report.
    Medicine (Baltimore) 2018 Apr;97(15):e0297
    Department of Internal Medicine, Rehabilitation and Geriatrics, Service of Internal Medicine, Geneva University Hospitals, rue Gabrielle Perret-Gentil, Geneva, Switzerland.
    Rationale: The life-threatening drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome occurs most commonly after exposure to drugs, clinical features mimic those found with other serious systemic disorders. It is rarely associated with thrombotic microangiopathy.

    Patient Concerns: We describe the unique case of a 44-year-old man who simultaneously experienced DRESS syndrome with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) after a 5 days treatment with fluindione. Read More

    Severe Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions: Presentation, Risk Factors, and Management.
    Curr Allergy Asthma Rep 2018 Mar 24;18(4):26. Epub 2018 Mar 24.
    Department of Rheumatology, Immunology and Allergology, University Hospital and University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
    Purpose Of Study: Immune-mediated adverse drug reactions occur commonly in clinical practice and include mild, self-limited cutaneous eruptions, IgE-mediated hypersensitivity, and severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCAR). SCARs represent an uncommon but potentially life-threatening form of delayed T cell-mediated reaction. The spectrum of illness ranges from acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) to drug reaction with eosinophilia with systemic symptoms (DRESS), to the most severe form of illness, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).

    Dokumentationszentrum schwerer Hautreaktionen (dZh), Universitätsklinik für Dermatologie und Venerologie, Hauptstr. 7, 79104, Freiburg, Deutschland.
    Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and a specific form of hypersensitivity syndrome which is nowadays called "drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms" (DRESS) are severe, mainly drug-induced skin reactions. Whereas SJS/TEN is considered one reaction entity of different severity, DRESS has to be distinguished from SJS/TEN but also from other severe exanthems due to multiorgan involvement. Although SJS/TEN is generally referred to as drug reaction, in total only about three quarters of the cases are actually caused by drugs. Read More

    Department of Dermatology and Venereology, University Hospital Center Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia; School of Medicine University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia.
    The world's population is now ageing at an unprecedented rate. Declining fertility and improved health and longevity have generated rising numbers and proportions of the older population in most parts of the world. With advancing age, however, comes an increasing incidence of disease (comorbidity or multimorbidity), an increasing use of medications (polypharmacy), and consequently an increase in adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

    Department of Veterinary Nursing, School of Veterinary Nursing and Technology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University.
    A 12-year-old female Shih-Tzu with hyperadrenocorticism and hypothyroidism developed concurrent refractory generalized demodicosis that did not respond to doramectin treatment. Although amitraz treatment was effective, the dog developed severe diabetes, which resulted in the cessation of amitraz and trilostane. Attempts to control the diabetes were unsuccessful, and its hyperadrenocorticism was left untreated, leading to the recurrence of demodicosis. Read More

    Seborrheic Pemphigus, Antigen Mimicry and the Subsequent-Wrong Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach?
    Open Access Maced J Med Sci 2018 Jan 13;6(1):128-131. Epub 2018 Jan 13.
    Medical Institute of Ministry of Interior (MVR-Sofia), Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Dermatologic Surgery, Sofia, Bulgaria.
    It is well-established that drugs could be leading cause of occurrence of numerous diseases, including pemphigus, being either inducer or triggering factor of the autoimmunity. Despite medications, it should be kept in mind that chronic or acute infections are also capable of being a trigger in various types of cutaneous eruptions, including pemphigus. The rapidly obtained and uncompleted history for accompanied medication leads to general mistakes in the subsequent treatment approach, as the first step in such cases is discontinuation of the drug-inductor.

    Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shenzhen 518055, China. Electronic address:
    Early diagnosis and treatment of occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMLDT) are absence of specific and reliable diagnostic/therapeutic biomarkers. This study was conducted on 30 cases of OMLDT, 58 workers exposed to trichloroethylene (TCE) and 40 unexposed controls in order to identify any cytokine signatures that give an index to CD4T cell differential and serve as biomarkers of OMLDT. Expression profiles of Th, Th, Th and Treg cell type-specifying transcription factors and cytokines were analyzed using real time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) assay. Read More

    Ponatinib-induced ichthyosiform drug eruption: insights into acquired ichthyosis.
    Dermatol Online J 2017 Oct 15;23(10). Epub 2017 Oct 15.
    Dermatology Service, Department of Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York.
    Cutaneous adverse events are commonly experienced with use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of leukemia and typically include nonspecific cutaneous eruptions and xerosis. We report the case of a man who experienced an ichthyosiform drug eruption while taking ponatinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Disruption of epidermal growth pathways through inhibition of various receptor tyrosine kinases by ponatinib may offer insights into the pathophysiologic mechanisms behind acquired ichthyosis.

    Dyshidrosiform pemphigoid localized on the hands in a child: a rare occurrence.
    An Bras Dermatol 2017 Sep-Oct;92(5):714-716
    Pt. B. D. Sharma, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences - Rohtak- Haryana, India.
    Dyshidrosiform pemphigoid is an acquired autoimmune variant of bullous pemphigoid with persistent vesicobullous eruptions localized on the palms or soles, or both. It generally occurs in the elderly and is rarely reported in childhood. Hereby, we describe the first case of dyshidrosiform pemphigoid in a 12-year-old child, which was limited to the dorsal hands and treated successfully with dapsone (diaminodiphenyl sulfone).

    A pilot study evaluating biomarker development for drug-induced chronic eczematous eruptions of aging individuals.
    Ann Transl Med 2017 Oct;5(20):393
    Department of Dermatology, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
    Background: Identifying the drug(s) responsible for drug-induced chronic eczematous eruptions of aging individuals (CEEA) is a clinical challenge in patients on multiple medications. Reliable testing methods and biomarkers are needed to identify the causative agent and allow simultaneous assessment of T-cell responses to multiple drugs being taken concurrently. This study examined the feasibility of using , drug-specific T cell activation responses as a biomarker for drug-induced CEEA. Read More
