Discuss or comment on this article.
AbstractMerkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin demonstrating a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. Indeed, 5‐year rates for MCC specific survival are only about 60%. Although MCCs’ incidence is rapidly increasing, it is still a very rare tumour. In this regard, the American Cancer Society had estimated for 2008 almost 1500 new cases in the USA. Recently, the newly identified Merkel cell polyomavirus has been found associated with most of the MCC cases. Nevertheless, the pathogenesis of MCC is not yet fully understood. Here, we will summarize recent findings of the pa...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Limited data are available on the epidemiology of autoimmune bullous diseases in France and in Western Europe. Bullous pemphigoid represents the most common autoimmune bullous disease. The management of autoimmune bullous diseases in France is under the guidance of dermatologists. In 1985, a research group focused on autoimmune bullous diseases was created in France. In 2004, the French Ministry of Health established and funded a nationwide network including 2 references centers, 7 competence centers, and 30 corresponding centers, with the aim of improving quality of care and research for autoimmune bullous diseases.

Therapeutic Approaches to Patients with Mucous Membrane PemphigoidEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
The therapeutic approach to mucous membrane pemphigoid is site specific, with the goal of preserving function for patients with chronic and treatment-resistant disease. The involvement of certain mucosal sites (ie, ocular, laryngeal, esophageal, nasopharyngeal, and anogenital) is high risk and warrants more aggressive intervention. Control of the disease must be balanced with minimizing the sequelae of long-term exposure to systemic glucocorticosteroids and/or other immunosuppressives. Timely interventions and multidisciplinary management are essential in preventing disability.

Linear immunoglobulin A (IgA) disease is an acquired autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes that runs a chronic course over 3 to 6 years before remitting. It typically presents with papulovesicles and blisters configured in an arcuate pattern on an urticated base, with 2 peaks of onset. The first peak is in young prepubescent children, called chronic bullous disease of childhood, and the second peak affects patients older than 60 years of age. In this article, the management of linear IgA in adults is considered.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Treatment modalities in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are many and varied, although level 1 evidence supporting their use is limited. To date, only 2 systematic reviews exist to support the use of different treatment modalities to control this group of conditions. Overall, within the literature, the quality of trials comparing treatment modalities is poor. Cohort sizes are small, methodologies are varied, and standardized outcome measurements are lacking. The authors aim to present a comprehensive view of the level 1 evidence that exists for common treatment modalities used in PV and PF.

Infection and Infection Prevention in Patients Treated with Immunosuppressive Medications for Autoimmune Bullous DisordersEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Infection contributes to considerable morbidity and mortality in patients treated for autoimmune bullous disorders because of the impaired cutaneous barrier, alteration of the protective normal flora, and host immunosuppression (inherent and iatrogenic). Prevention of cutaneous impetiginization and infection starts with excellent wound care. In patients to be started on immunosuppressive medications, consideration should be given to vaccination status and possible need for pneumocystis pneumonia prevention. Patients should be educated on the signs and symptoms of early infection and the need to seek early medical intervention as needed.

Rituximab is a chimeric, murine-human, monoclonal antibody against the CD20 antigen of B lymphocytes. It has been used off-label to treat and manage autoimmune and dermatologic diseases as an alternative or adjuvant therapy to systemic treatments. Due to cost, potential complications, and lack of data rituximab is used after standard systemic therapies have failed or the patient is absolutely contraindicated for corticosteroids. More research is required.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Although there are no standard guidelines for the treatment of autoimmune blistering diseases, azathioprine has shown good efficacy in acquired autoimmune blistering diseases, and is well tolerated. Side effects of azathioprine normally occur in mild variants. Severe reactions are due to reduced thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) or inosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase (ITPA) activity. Therefore, screening for TPMT activity should be conducted in white patients and Africans, whereas Japanese should be screened for ITPA activity before therapy with azathioprine is started. Azathioprine is clinically meaningful for t...

SummarySegmental vitiligo and generalized vitiligo are in general considered to be separate entities. The etiopathogenesis of segmental vitiligo remains unclear, although several hypotheses have been put forward including mainly neuronal mechanisms. The typical association with other auto‐immune diseases as seen in generalized vitiligo, seems to be significantly less in segmental vitiligo, although recent insights point towards a possible immune mediated overlap between the two subtypes.In this article, we describe a case with simultaneous presence of segmental vitiligo, alopecia areata, psoriasis and a halo nevus.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions
Claudin 7 and 11 were not expressed in LS and SCC. However, there was no significant difference in expression of any of the claudins between the LS and SCC samples. Furthermore, p53 expression is the highest in SCC patients and lowest in the control group. However, expression of p53 did not vary between samples from isolated LS and LS associated SCC patients, suggesting that increased p53 expression is not the determining factor in the progression of LS lesions to SCC.

Introduction Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) answer questions about the effectiveness of different care options: ‘what effect does using treatment A or treatment B have on outcomes?’ RCTs are important to nursing as they are the best study design for answering the question ‘should I do this or that?’; nurses ask effectiveness questions frequently. Researchers refer to one treatment being tested as the ‘intervention’ (I) and another treatment (eg, one that would otherwise be used) as the ‘comparator’ (or control) (C). Examples of these effectiveness questions (as well as t...

SummaryPatch testing is a standardized, in vivo diagnostic test for type IV hypersensitivity reactions, resulting in allergic contact dermatitis, which clinically resembles eczema. Common allergens include fragrance chemicals, hair dyes, metals, rubber accelerators and preservatives. Known allergens at particular concentrations in optimal vehicles are tested on the upper back under occlusion for 2 days. Readings according to international criteria are usually performed on days 2 and 4. Irritant reactions can closely resemble allergic ones, and further tests may be necessary to discriminate.

Abstract
Inflammatory myopathies are chronic, immune-mediated diseases characterized with progressive proximal muscle weakness. They encompass a variety of syndromes with protean manifestations. The aims of therapy are to increase muscle strength, prevent the development of contractures, and to manage the systemic manifestations of the disease. This is a complex treatment which requires routine and wide knowledge. The most important task is to recognize the disease and guide the patient to immunologic center. Although the first line of therapy continues to include corticosteroids, there are a multitude of agents av...
