Abstract
Zika virus: what the dermatologist should know. Probably a new vaccine against herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia in older adults. Defining moderate, significant and extensive types of pemphigus with ABSIS et PDAI scores. Biologic Therapies and serious infections in patients with psoriasis. We can be cautiously optimistic, in that tuberculosis is rare but still occurs despite adherence to tuberculosis prevention guidelines. Others serious infections are rare, mainly pneumonia and cellulitis. Hidradenitis suppurativa: an unrecognized paradoxical effect of biologic agents. There is an association between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), mostly with Crohn's disease, suggesting the need to look for signs and symptoms of IBD in HS patients. A study of 550 twins found that genetic and environmental factors each contribute to approximately half of the score of rosacea. Telangiectasia Macularis Eruptiva Perstans is a difficult to diagnose type of mastocytosis, often with a delay and which is associated with a systemic involvement in 50% of cases. Vitiligo. Management and development of new scores for the dermatologist and the patient. Livedoid vasculopathy. Anticoagulation with new molecules could prove an efficient means of treatment. Pyoderma Gangrenosum. Don't forget the toxic etiology. Daily practice: Laboratory monitoring for liver function tests and serum lipid profile during isotretinoin therapy for acne is currently recommended at baseline and every 3 months, depending on the results. Daily practice: Mikailov and al., challenge our habits by their medico economic study and propose an empirical treatment with terbinafine for patients with suspected onychomycosis that is cost effective with minimal effect on patient safety as terbinafine-induced liver injury is very rare. It makes think and especially propose studies to update our recommendations.
