Abstract
A penicillin allergy testing service (PATS) assessed penicillin allergy in patients with hematologic malignancies; 17 patients who met criteria had negative skin testing. Patients who underwent penicillin challenge passed and were delabeled. Of delabeled patients, 87% received and tolerated β-lactams during follow-up. Providers found the PATS valuable.

Abstract
BackgroundAcute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet syndrome) is a potentially fatal multiorgan inflammatory disease characterized by fever, leukocytosis, and a rash with a neutrophilic infiltrate. The disease pathophysiology remains elusive, and current dogma suggests that Sweet syndrome is a process of reactivity to an unknown antigen. Corticosteroids and steroid-sparing agents remain frontline therapies, but refractory cases pose a clinical challenge.MethodsA 51-year-old woman with multiorgan Sweet syndrome developed serious corticosteroid-related side effects and was refractory to steroid-sparing agents. Blood counts, liver enzymes, and skin histopathology supported the diagnosis. Whole-genome sequencing, transcriptomic profiling, and cellular assays of the patient's skin and neutrophils were performed.ResultsWe identified elevated IL-1 signaling in lesional Sweet syndrome skin caused by a PIK3R1 gain-of-function mutation specifically found in neutrophils. This mutation increased neutrophil migration toward IL-1β and neutrophil respiratory burst. Targeted treatment of the patient with an IL-1 receptor 1 antagonist resulted in a dramatic therapeutic response and enabled a tapering off of corticosteroids.ConclusionDysregulated PI3K/AKT signaling is the first signaling pathway linked to Sweet syndrome and suggests that this syndrome may be caused by acquired mutations that modulate neutrophil function. Moreover, integration of molecular data across multiple levels identified a distinct subtype within a heterogeneous disease that resulted in a rational and successful clinical intervention. Future patients will benefit from efforts to identify potential mutations. The ability to directly interrogate the diseased skin allows this method to be generalizable to other inflammatory diseases and demonstrates a potential personalized medicine approach for patients with clinically challenging disease.Funding SourcesBerstein Foundation, NIH, Veterans Affairs (VA) Administration, Moseley Foundation, and H.T.

Abstract
Importance Immunodeficiency-related, vaccine-derived rubella virus (RuV) as an antigenic trigger of cutaneous and visceral granulomas is a rare, recently described phenomenon in children and young adults treated with immunosuppressant agents. Objective To perform a comprehensive clinical, histologic, immunologic, molecular, and genomic evaluation to elucidate the potential cause of an adult patient's atypical cutaneous granulomas. Design, Setting, and Participants A prospective evaluation of skin biopsies, nasopharyngeal swabs, and serum samples submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was conducted to assess for RuV using real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and viral genomic sequencing. The samples were obtained from a man in his 70s with extensive cutaneous granulomas mimicking both cutaneous sarcoidosis (clinically) and CD8+ granulomatous cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (histopathologically). The study was conducted from September 2019 to February 2021. Main Outcomes and Measures Identification and genotyping of a novel immunodeficiency-related RuV-associated granulomatous dermatitis. Results Immunohistochemistry for RuV capsid protein and RT-PCR testing for RuV RNA revealed RuV in 4 discrete skin biopsies from different body sites. In addition, RuV RNA was detected in the patient's nasopharyngeal swabs by RT-PCR. The full viral genome was sequenced from the patient's skin biopsy (RVs/Philadelphia.PA.USA/46.19/GR, GenBank Accession #MT249313). The patient was ultimately diagnosed with a novel RuV-associated granulomatous dermatitis. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this study suggest that clinicians and pathologists may consider RuV-associated granulomatous dermatitis during evaluation of a patient because it might have implications for the diagnosis of cutaneous sarcoidosis, with RuV serving as a potential antigenic trigger, and for the diagnosis of granulomatous cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, with histopathologic features that may prompt an evaluation for immunodeficiency and/or RuV.

Abstract
Podocytes cover the kidney glomerular basement membrane and present the final barrier in the renal filtration system. Podocyte loss, observed in most kidney diseases, correlates with kidney function decline. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Seiber et al. (2018), using a high-throughput chemical screen, identified the compound CDG-0876, which improved podocyte survival.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition when the kidneys are unable to
clear waste products, affects 700 million people globally. Genome-wide
association (GWA) studies identified sequence variants for CKD; however, the
biological basis of GWAS remains poorly understood. To address this issue, we
created an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) atlas for the glomerular
and tubular compartments of the human kidney. Integrating the CKD GWAS with
eQTL, single-cell RNA sequencing and regulatory region maps, we identified novel
genes for CKD. Putative causal genes were enriched for proximal tubule
expression and endo-lysosomal function, where DAB2, an adaptor protein in the
TGFβ pathway, formed a central node. Functional experiments confirmed
that reducing Dab2 expression in renal tubules protected mice
from CKD. In conclusion, compartment-specific eQTL analysis is an important
avenue for the identification of novel genes and cellular pathways involved in
CKD development and thus potential new opportunities for its treatment.
