In this case report, a 67-year-old Thai woman exhibited isolated cheilitis due to actinic prurigo—an unusual presentation in Asian patients—successfully treated with topical hydrocortisone and sun protection, highlighting the need to consider actinic prurigo in chronic lip lesion diagnoses even with normal phototesting results.

This communication reports previously unreported side effects, severe bullous dermatosis and onycholysis, in three patients undergoing high-dose methotrexate and leucovorin calcium therapy, impacting their chemotherapy schedules.

IL-10 may worsen alopecia areata instead of helping it.

Alopecia is rare after organ transplants but more common in females, Hispanic patients, and pancreas recipients.

This study found a high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, particularly anogenital warts and syphilis, among HIV-infected adults in Serbia, underscoring the importance of education on safe sex practices.

This review of DAVID syndrome cases found that ACTH deficiency often preceded by sinus infections or alopecia is linked to specific NFKB2 gene mutations, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to prevent complications.

This study found that infectious skin diseases were prevalent in immigrant Latino poultry processors and manual workers in North Carolina, with tinea pedis and onychomycosis being particularly common.

In this study, combining thalidomide with CHOP treatment showed a significantly higher effective rate in treating peripheral T-cell lymphoma compared to CHOP alone, while both regimens were associated with similar levels of adverse reactions.

This review outlines the various adverse reactions to biologic therapies in Allergy/Immunology, emphasizing the clinical and management challenges due to overlapping reaction phenotypes and the need for more refined diagnostic and management strategies.

This review highlights that iron deficiency is a significant yet often overlooked contributor to the development of immune-mediated inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting that iron dysregulation may drive inflammation and metabolic imbalances in conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

This case report describes a patient with unrecognized systemic lupus erythematosus, who experienced myocarditis, polyneuropathy, and pericarditis, and recovered following cardiac support and medication.

This study discovered that DNA damage independently induces IL-19 and IL-24 cytokines, which regulate senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors, suggesting potential pathways for treating cancer and age-related diseases.

This study found that Merkel cell carcinoma recurrence risk peaks within the first two years after diagnosis and varies significantly by stage, with immune suppression, age, and male sex also influencing risk.

This review discusses the mechanisms underlying the collapse of hair follicle immune privilege in alopecia areata and emphasizes the importance of therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring immune tolerance.

This case report describes severe agranulocytosis and alopecia in a Japanese woman after starting azathioprine, highlighting the potential role of NUDT15 genetic screening in preventing adverse reactions to the drug.

This study demonstrated that antigens from the skin bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis can stimulate CD8+ T cells, which in turn enhance wound healing.
