The value of the BIOCHIP mosaic-based indirect immunofluorescence technique in the diagnosis of pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid in Turkish patients
Autoimmune bullous diseases (ABD) are a rarely seen group of diseases, of which pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are the major groups. Diagnosis is generally based on the combination of clinical features, histopathologic and immunofluorescence (IF) findings, and/or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Aims of the work wereto determine the value of the innovative BIOCHIP mosaic-based indirect IF technique in the diagnosis of pemphigus and BP in Turkish patients. A total of 63 patients (45 pemphigus and 18 BP) in the active phase of the disease alongside 35 healthy controls were included in the study. All sera fro...

Spectrum of autoimmune bullous diseases in northern Greece. A 4-year retrospective study and review of the literature
Bullous Diseases Unit at the 2nd Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki was founded with the aim to provide the optimal diagnostic approach and treatment of patients with autoimmune bullous diseases (A ΙBD). We processed all AIBD files of patients diagnosed from 2011 to 2014 in order to record all epidemiological data and therapeutic manipulations during monitoring. 57 patients were diagnosed with intraepidermal and 62 with subepidermal bullous diseases. There were 51 cases (89%) of pemphigus v ulgaris (PV) and 6 (11%) of pemphigus foliaceus (PF), whereas 45 (73%) patients were d...

HLA-E*0101/0103X is associated with susceptibility to pemphigus vulgaris: a case-control study
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a life-threatening, autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. The relationship between PV and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) has been studied in several reports. Previous reports have demonstrated that HLA-E polymorphisms may have a role in the susceptibility to various autoimmune diseases. Our aim was to evaluate the role of HLA-E gene polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of PV in a Turkish population. A total of 49 patients with PV and 50 healthy subjects were enrolled into the study. We sequenced and analyzed the HLA-E gene from genomic DNA obtained from peripheral blood samp...

Epidemiology of pemphigus in Turkey: One-year prospective study of 220 cases
Pemphigus is a group of rare and life-threatening autoimmune blistering diseases of the skin and mucous membranes. Although they occur worldwide, their incidence shows wide geographical variation, and prospective data on the epidemiology of pemphigus are very limited. Objective of this work is to evaluate the incidence and epidemiological and clinical features of patients with pemphigus in Turkey. All patients newly diagnosed with pemphigus between June 2013 and June 2014 were prospectively enrolled in 33 dermatology departments in 20 different provinces from all seven regions of Turkey. Disease parameters including demogr...

A 12-year old girl with severe plaque psoriasis and Down syndrome treated successfuly with etanercept
We present a case of highly inflammatory tinea capitis, also known as kerion celsi, caused byM. canis in a 6-year-old-patient. Scalp infections due toM. canis are a growing problem in dermatological practice. Changes in epidemiology, etiology, and clinical patterns of fungal infections due toM. canis are significant. Greater awareness of this problem is needed in order to establish proper diagnosis and successful treatment strategy for these patients. (Source: Acta Dermatovenerologica Croatica)

Can hematologic parameters be an indicator of metabolic disorders accompanying rosacea?
Recently, diverse hematologic parameters have been used as an indicator of the presence or severity of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to investigate the ratios of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NL), monocytes to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (MHC), and platelets to lymphocytes (PL) in patients with rosacea in comparison with the control group and determine whether there was a correlation between these ratios and metabolic disorders in patients with rosacea. We conducted a case-control study on 61 patients with rosacea and 60 healthy controls between January 2015 and January 2016 at the Derm...
