Review Case ReportsDrug-induced Linear IgA Bullous Dermatosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a rare subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease characterized by linear deposition of IgA along the basement membrane zone. Although most reported cases are idiopathic, there is a subset of patients with drug-induced LABD. ⋯ In addition, a case report of a 77-year-old male patient with linear IgA dermatosis induced by vancomycin is described. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the need to include this differential diagnosis in cases of suspected adverse drug reactions, as well as to highlight the role of drugs in LABD.

ReviewNail Psoriasis: An Updated Review and Expert Opinion on Available Treatments, Including Biologics.
Nail psoriasis affects 50-79% of patients with skin psoriasis and up to 80% of patients with psoriatic arthritis, and can also represent a negative prognostic factor in individuals with plaque psoriasis. Treatments for nail psoriasis are limited, as nails are often difficult to treat with topical therapies alone, and relapse is common. ⋯ In this setting, secukinumab is characterized by the highest efficacy at week 16. This review analysed the different therapeutic options for nail psoriasis, focusing on new treatments that have shown promising results in this field.
