    Abstract Generalized pustular psoriasis is defined as a primary, sterile, macroscopically visible pustular eruption on non-acral skin, which can occur with or without systemic inflammation and/or psoriasis vulgaris, and can either be relapsing or be persistent, according to the European Rare and Severe Psoriasis Expert Network. The treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis may be challenging. We describe a 48-year-old woman with a 15-year history of severe generalized pustular psoriasis and plaque psoriasis resistant to multiple courses of treatments with conventional and biological agents who had a rapid, complete and durable (up to 12 months) clinical remission with spesolimab, an anti-interleukin-36 receptor antagonist monoclonal antibody recently approved for the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis flares.

    Abstract Epidemiological data demonstrate strong associations between psoriasis and metabolic comorbidities, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The presence of metabolic comorbidities significantly influences the selection and effectiveness of pharmacological treatments. Some drugs should be prescribed with caution in patients with metabolic comorbidities because of an increased risk of adverse events, while others could have a reduced effectiveness. The aim of this narrative review is to highlight the challenges that healthcare professionals may face regarding the management of psoriasis in patients with metabolic comorbidities. In the first part of the article, the epidemiological association between psoriasis and metabolic comorbidities and their pathogenetic mechanisms is summarized. The second part describes the efficacy and safety profile of conventional and biologic drugs in patients with selected metabolic comorbidities including obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/hepatic steatosis, and diabetes. Finally, the role of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, such as diet, alcohol abstinence, physical activity, and smoking avoidance is discussed. In conclusion, the choice of the best approach to manage patients with psoriasis with metabolic comorbidities should encompass both tailored pharmacological and individualized non-pharmacological interventions.

    Abstract Background: Central sensitization (CS) is a condition characterized by a disproportionate response to pain stimuli, and is associated with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, but also with inflammatory arthropathies such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). CS has never been investigated in patients with psoriasis. The aim of this study is to investigate CS in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis.
    Methods: This research involved a cross-sectional observational study of adult patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis consecutively attending the outpatient clinic of the University Hospital of Verona. Demography, measures of disease severity or activity [i.e., Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA)], diagnosis of PsA, hypertension, and diabetes were collected. Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were administered.
    Results: A total of 194 patients, including 115 (59%) men, with mean age of 54 ± 13 years, mean PASI of 12.7 ± 6.7, and mean DAPSA of 14.4 ± 3.8 were included. In total, 134 patients (79%) had only psoriasis while 60 (31%) had psoriasis and PsA; 19 (10%) patients had CSI score ≥ 40, which is the threshold for diagnosing CS. The proportion of CS ≥ 40 was higher in patients with PsA compared with psoriasis (17% versus 7%, p = 0.031). The mean CSI score in patients with PsA was higher compared with those with only psoriasis (27.5 ± 13.5 versus 20.7 ± 13.7, p = 0.002). An association between CSI and DLQI [β = 1.25 (95% CI 0.85-1.66)], PASI [β = 1.22 (95% CI 0.74-1.65)], GAD-7 [β = 2.07 (95% CI 1.69-2.45)] and PHQ-9 [β = 2.16 (95% CI 1.76-2.54)] was found independently from age, gender, diabetes, and PsA.
    Conclusions: Central sensitization may be associated with psoriasis, particularly in those with high PASI, concomitant PsA, anxiety, depression, and severe quality of life impairment.

    Abstract Background: Dermoscopic features differentiating in situ nevus-associated melanoma (NAM) versus in situ de novo melanoma (DNM) are inconclusive.
    Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the dermoscopic features associated with in situ NAM versus DNM.
    Materials & methods: This was a retrospective observational study. All consecutive in situ melanomas diagnosed in adult patients were retrieved and stratified as NAM vs DNM, and clinical and dermoscopic data were compared between the two.
    Results: A total of 183 patients with in situ melanoma were collected, of whom 98 (54%) were male with a mean age of 64±14 years. For 129 patients, standardized dermoscopic images were collected (51 for NAM and 78 for de novo MM). The most common dermoscopic features were an atypical pigment network (85%), atypical globules (63%) and regression (42%). No significant differences were found except for regression, which was detected in 54.9% NAM vs 33.3% DNM (p=0.016). Multivariate logistic regression confirmed the association between dermoscopic regression and NAM (OR=2.34, 95% CI: 1.15-4.91).
    Conclusion: Currently, the use of dermoscopy to determine whether a melanoma is associated with a nevus is unreliable, however, the presence of regression adjacent to atypical lesions may raise suspicion of in situ NAM.

    Abstract Background: An increasing number of cutaneous adverse reactions (CARs) to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been reported, but their incidence is debated. Objective: To estimate the pooled incidence of CARs to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in the general adult population. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of original articles published on MEDLINE via PubMed and Web Of Science from 1 January 2020 to 18 July 2022 was undertaken. Studies reporting the incidence proportion of CARs (defined as number of new cases of CARs on the total of vaccinated people) were included. All types of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine were included. People receiving at least one dose were considered eligible. Local cutaneous reactions were excluded. Results: A total of 970 records were identified and screened by title and abstract; 22 observational studies were included with aggregate data on 93,165 participants. The pooled incidence of overall CARs was 5% (95%CI 4−6%; I2 = 99%; p < 0.001), ranging from <0.01 to 19.00%. Most CARs were new onset dermatitis including rash, urticaria and vascular lesions; one case of Steven−Johnson syndrome and six cases of erythema multiforme were reported. In the sensitivity analysis we found that the incidence of CARs after the first and second dose was similar, i.e., 3% (95%CI 2−3%; I2 = 96%; p < 0.001) and 3% (95%CI 2−4%; I2 = 97%; p < 0.001), respectively. The magnitude of incidence of CARs remained unchanged independently of vaccine platform and in the general population versus healthcare workers. Conclusions: CARs associated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are frequent but mild and self-remitting, whereas severe CARs are rare.

    Abstract Clinical and epidemiologic data on pustular psoriasis are scarce. To investigate the phenotypes of pustular psoriasis and the patients' characteristics observed in a real-life retrospective observational study. The number of incident cases of pustular psoriasis registered in the period 2005-2021 was retrieved from the electronic medical records of the University Hospital of Verona. One hundred and forty cases of pustular psoriasis were collected. Ninety-one out of 140 patients (65%) were females, with a median (IQR) age of 57 (43-66) years. According to the ERASPEN classification criteria, 116 patients (83%) had palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), 13 (9%) generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), and 11 (8%) acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH). Gender distribution and median age were consistent among the three groups. The prevalence of psoriatic arthritis in GPP, ACH, and PPP was 8%, 36%, and 28%, respectively. During the same period, a total of 4718 cases of plaque psoriasis were retrieved, with a 1:34 ratio of pustular over plaque psoriasis. Pustular psoriasis is much rarer than plaque psoriasis, with PPP being the more common subtype.

    Abstract Introduction: Given the increased infectious risk associated with biologics, particularly with TNFα inhibitors, concerns were raised over the safety of these agents in relation to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Furthermore, the impact of biologics on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was questioned.
    Areas covered: In this review, studies conducted on patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis treated with biologics during the COVID-19 pandemic have been analyzed, including 1) the safety of biologics in psoriatic patients in terms of increased risk and/or worse outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection; and 2) whether biologic agents could affect the safety and response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in psoriatic patients.
    Expert opinion: Current evidence indicates that the use of biologics in psoriatic patients does not seem to be associated with an increased COVID-19 infection risk or worse outcome, with TNFα inhibitors being even protective of severe COVID-19 relative to other treatments or no treatment at all. Furthermore, biologic treatment does not seem to have a significant impact on the response and safety of vaccines in patients with psoriasis treated with biologics. However, uncertainty remains given the limitations of current studies which are often of short duration, limited sample sizes and do not stratify on specific biologic classes.
