Abstract

Background The susceptibility of patients with chronic plaque psoriasis and the risks or benefits related to the use of biological therapies for COVID-19 are unknown. Few data about prevalence, clinical course and outcomes of COVID-19 among psoriatic patients were reported. The aims of this study were 1) to assess the prevalence and severity of COVID-19 in psoriatic patients treated with biologic agents during the first phase of the emergency (22 February to 22 April 2020) in Italy, and 2) to report the clinical outcomes of patients who have been exposed to individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods Patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis, aged ≥18 years and undergoing treatment with biologic agents as of 22 February 2020, were eligible to be included in PSO-BIO-COVID study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients using any biologic for psoriasis treatment between 22 February and 22 April 2020 were registered. For all confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19, data about concomitant disease, ongoing therapies, and comorbidities were also reported. Results A total of 12,807 psoriatic patients were included in the PSO-BIO-COVID study. In this cohort twenty-six patients (0.2%) had a swab confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Eleven patients required hospitalization and two died. 125 of 12807 patients (1.0%) with exposure to a patient with COVID-19 under quarantine or active health surveillance, were reported. Conclusion The incidence of COVID-19 observed in our cohort of psoriatic patients (0.2%) is similar to that seen in the general population (0.31%) in Italy. However, the course of the disease was mild in most patients. Biological therapies may likely lessen "cytokine storm" of COVID-19, which sometimes lead to multiple organ failure, ARDS, and death.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, is creating an unprecedented global public health emergency with the continuous growth of infected individuals worldwide. Italy was one of the first European country to face the first wave of infection outside mainland China. The first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Lombardy on February 20th , 2020, and subsequently, a rapid increase in the number of detected cases was observed, spreading through Italy and the rest of Europe.3 As of April 22nd , confirmed COVID-19 cases in Italy were 183,957.

Abstract

Introduction Topical immunotherapy is widely used in the treatment of alopecia areata (AA). Alopecia areata incognita (AAI) is a relatively common disorder, predominantly affecting females, characterized by widespread hair thinning in the absence of typical alopecic patches. AAI can have a chronic relapsing course and in some cases can be resistant to current standard treatments. Topical immunotherapy has been used in the management of AA with encouraging results, but to date there are no literature studies reporting the efficacy of topical immunotherapy with squaric acid dibutylester (SADBE) in AAI. The aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of topical immunotherapy with SADBE in AAI not responding to conventional steroid therapy. Materials and methods A total of 12 patients were enrolled in our Hair Disease Outpatient Service, with a proven histological diagnosis of AAI, and resistant to classical steroid therapy. Each patient underwent global photography, pull test and trichoscopy at beginning and during the follow-ups. The efficacy of topical immunotherapy with SADBE was assessed by evaluating the changes of clinical and trichoscopic signs. Results Complete regrowth was achieved in 66.7%% of cases (8/12), 3 patients remained unchanged on clinical evaluation but showed subclinical improvement on trichoscopy, whereas 1 patient progressed and worsened both on clinical and trichoscopic examination. All patients reported scalp diffuse mild erythema and itching the day after the application of SADBE, which were well tolerated. Three patients developed reactive cervical lymphoadenomegaly. No other side effects were observed. Conclusion Topical immunotherapy with SADBE is widely used in the management of patchy AA and can be considered an effective alternative in resistant AAI, providing visible clinical and trichoscopic improvement in the majority of cases. Further studies are warranted to confirm and validate our findings. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Among different laser types, the carbon dioxide (CO2 ) laser remains one of the most used by dermatologists. Its usefulness has been demonstrated both for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. This review aims to provide an overview of the applications of CO2 laser in dermatology, focusing on the treatment of infective, neoplastic, and antiaesthetic lesions.

Abstract

Background No specific features of nevus-associated melanoma (NAM) are currently defined. Objective To identify clinical/dermoscopic features of NAM. Methods Retrospective evaluation of histopathologically diagnosed NAM. Results Eighty of 165 NAMs had a clinically recognizable nevus component, often raised or nodular, most frequently characterized by different morphologic clones and/or colors. In 111 of 165 NAMs, dermoscopy showed a nevus component, prevalently characterized by regular dots/clods and structureless brown areas. Clinically, the melanoma component was eccentric/peripheral in 45 of 80 cases and central in 35 of 80; dermoscopically, the figures were 59 of 111 and 52 of 111, respectively. Melanomas associated with congenital nevi (C-NAMs) occur at a younger age and have a thicker Breslow depth than melanomas associated with acquired nevi (NC-NAMs). Dermoscopically, regular dots/globules characterize C-NAMs, and hypopigmented structureless areas characterize NC-NAMs. Limitations Retrospective analysis. Conclusion C-NAMs are more often central to a congenital nevus, with a clod/globular or structureless brown pattern, typical of young patients. NC-NAMs are frequently hypopigmented nodules/plaques, eccentric/peripheral, with hypopigmented structureless areas, typical of older patients.

Abstract

Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness, which is typically caused by Borrelia Burgdoferi. Over time, a typical Borreliosis skin reaction takes shape, i.e. the formation of an annular erythema that tends to expand centrifugally with erythematous edges whose diameter can reach up to 20 cm. The symptoms of Lyme disease are not only cutaneous but there may be a systemic involvement. Obviously, this disease can also affect pregnant women and for this reason this review aims to summarize the main ways of treatment to avoid worsening of the clinical condition in the mother and an eventual, albeit rare, involvement of the fetus.
