Pemphigus foliaceus worsened by drugs in a patient with psoriasis, responding to adalimumab.

Pemphigus foliaceus is a blistering autoimmune disease related to the production of autoantibodies against desmoglein 1. We present a patient with psoriasis and pemphigus foliaceus aggravated by enalapril and amlodipine intake, with successful response of both conditions to adalimumab therapy.

El pénfigo foliáceo es una enfermedad autoinmune ampollosa debida a la producción de autoanticuerpos frente a la desmogleína 1. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con psoriasis y pénfigo foliáceo agravado por enalapril y amlodipino, con buena respuesta de ambas patologías a la terapia con adalimumab.Pemphigus foliaceus is a blistering autoimmune disease related to the production of autoantibodies against desmoglein 1.

Paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (paraneoplastic pemphigus) with unusual manifestations and without detectable autoantibodies.

We describe a patient with paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (PAMS) secondary to a lymphoblastic T- cell lymphoma who presented with a lichenoid dermatitis and vitiligo, later developing bronchiolitis obliterans and autoimmune hepatitis. Notably, he had no detectable autoantibodies. The development of vitiligo and autoimmune hepatic involvement probably indicate a role for cytotoxic T- cell lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of this syndrome.
