Refractory pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) often is treated off-label with the same biologic therapies that are approved for the treatment of psoriasis, most commonly tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α antagonists and ustekinumab; however, the IL-17A antagonist secukinumab also has shown efficacy in the treatment of PRP. We report 2 new cases of severe refractory PRP that responded rapidly to treatment with secukinumab. Read More

Although numerous infective agents, including varicella zoster virus (VZV), have been described in association with pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) and pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC), none has been identified consistently in these lesions. We sought to immunohistochemically identify VZV glycoprotein (g)E antigens in the vascular endothelium in PLEVA and PLC lesions, based on our previous observation that gE was detected in the vascular endothelium and eccrine unit up until 2 months and 2.5, respectively, years after herpes zoster (HZ) infection.

Introduction: Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia presenting with scarring hair loss and variable degrees of perifollicular erythema and scaling. Pustules are infrequent and may mimic folliculitis decalvans (FD) and other forms of neutrophilic alopecia. We present a series of LPP cases with pustules and discuss the importance of differentiating them from primary neutrophilic folliculitis. Read More

The familial form of pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is caused by dominant mutations in the coiled-coiled domain of CARD14 . Different variants in CARD14 have been associated with psoriasis . As some PRP-causing and psoriasis-associated CARD14 variants showed increased NF-κB activation , inappropriate NF-κB-regulation is thought to be involved in the development of both diseases.

Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare inflammatory papulosquamous skin disease that is often refractory to conventional therapies. The off-label use of biologics, such as anti-tumor necrosis factor, anti-interleukin (IL) 12/IL-23, and anti-IL-17 agents, has been proven successful in the past 2 decades for PRP treatment. Our aim was to analyse the literature for the use of biologics in PRP treatment. Read More

Background: Heterozygous mutations in caspase recruitment domain family member 14 gene (CARD14) have been shown to be associated with psoriasis and familial pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP). Many subjects with CARD14 mutations display features of both disorders, which can result in diagnostic uncertainty. In addition, these eruptions are often recalcitrant to conventional psoriasis therapies such as methotrexate, oral retinoids, and tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors. Read More

Classifying inflammatory skin diseases is challenging, especially for the expanding group of disorders triggered by genetic factors resulting in hyperactivated innate immunity that result in overlapping patterns of dermal and epidermal inflammation with hyperkeratosis. For such conditions, the umbrella term "autoinflammatory keratinization diseases" (AIKD) has been proposed. AIKD encompasses diseases with mixed pathomechanisms of autoinflammation and autoimmunity, and includes IL-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra)-related pustulosis, CARD14-mediated pustular psoriasis, pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) type V, and familial keratosis lichenoides chronica (KLC).
