    Abstract Biologic therapies have revolutionized the treatment of psoriasis; however, these immunomodulatory therapies may increase the risk of reactivation of latent and chronic infections. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors, in particular, have been associated with the increased risk of reactivation of tuberculosis (TB) in patients with latent TB, as well as hepatitis B virus (HBV), in patients with chronic HBV infections. Currently, baseline TB tests are the only screening tests supported with strong evidence. High-grade evidence for HBV screening tests is lacking; however, these tests are sometimes performed in clinical practice. We describe current recommendations for screening tests prior to the initiation of biologic therapy.

    Abstract Post-herpetic abdominal pseudohernia is a neurologic complication of herpes zoster resulting from paresis of the abdominal wall muscles ipsilateral to the eruption. This poorly known condition may raise suspicion for true abdominal wall hernia or other concerning etiologies, resulting in extensive work-up and imaging. Post-herpetic abdominal pseudohernia is a relatively benign condition, which resolves spontaneously in the majority of cases. Therefore, it is important for the clinician to be aware of this complication in order to avoid unnecessary imaging or excessive management, which may increase the cost of care and burden to the patient.

    Abstract It is important for the dermatopathologist to be adept in differentiating tissue artifacts from normal tissue variants and pathologies. Numerous tissue artifacts have been described to date; however, once we are familiar with the common artifacts that appear in our practice, we may not immediately recognize other confounders. For example, dermatopathologists in more temperate regions of the country may not be familiar with freezing artifact. In this case series, we present three common diagnoses in dermatopathology that were obscured by the extreme winter weather that severely impacted the Southern United States in February 2021 and discuss methods to prevent these artifacts.

    Abstract In the past two decades, biologic therapy has become ubiquitous in the treatment of psoriasis; however, important considerations should be taken with regard to biologic use in the context of surgery, vaccinations, and cancers. With conflicting evidence on the effects of perioperative biologic use, we recommend withholding tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitor therapy for one dose prior to surgical procedures.

    Abstract "COVID toes" are a new phenomenon of pernio-like lesions that has been associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. As dermatology practices reopen and increase patient volumes amid the waning of the coronavirus pandemic, it is important to consider the finding of pernio and pernio-like lesions in the context of both COVID-19 and its other possible etiologies. This contribution will discuss possible causes of pernio and pernio-like lesions and offer suggestions for appropriate diagnostic workup and management when indicated.

    Abstract Indeterminate cell histiocytosis (ICH) is a rare proliferative disorder of histiocytes, which display morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics of both Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (NLCH). We describe an unusual clinical presentation of ICH mimicking rosacea and provide a relevant review of the literature.
