Real-life experience of using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most prevalent subtype of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs). Sézary syndrome (SS) is another entity defined by leukaemic involvement, lymphadenopathy and erythroderma. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PEG-DOXO) is an anthracycline used in the management of advanced primary CTCL, particularly in induction strategies. However, there are limited data on its effectiveness and tolerability in real-life patients. We report 36 patients who received PEG-DOXO for MF or SS in our centre, describing the patients' characteristics, response rates and tolerance to the treatment. The best overall responses were observed for the skin, with lower response rates for nodal involvement and moderate responses for blood disease. The treatment was mainly well tolerated, without severe adverse events, and no cardiotoxicity was observed on cardiac function monitoring.

Maculopapular eruptions associated to COVID-19: A subanalysis of the COVID-Piel study.

A previous study has defined the maculopapular subtype of manifestations of COVID-19. The objective of our study was to describe and classify maculopapular eruptions associated with COVI-19. We carried out a subanalysis of the maculopapular cases found in the previous cross-sectional study. Using a consensus, we defined seven clinical patterns. We described patient demographics, the therapy received by the patient and the characteristics of each pattern. Consensus lead to the description of seven major maculopapular patterns: morbilliform (45.5%), other maculopapular (20.0%), purpuric (14.2%), erythema multiforme-like (9.7%), pytiriasis rosea-like (5.7%), erythema elevatum diutinum-like (2.3%), and perifollicular (2.3%). In most cases, maculopapular eruptions were coincident (61.9%) or subsequent (34.1%) to the onset of other COVID-19 manifestations. The most frequent were cough (76%), dyspnea (72%), fever (88%), and astenia (62%). Hospital admission due to pneumonia was frequent (61%). Drug intake was frequent (78%). Laboratory alterations associated with maculo-papular eruptions were high C-reactive protein, high D-Dimer, lymphopenia, high ferritin, high LDH, and high IL-6. The main limitation of our study was the impossibility to define the cause-effect relationship of each pattern. In conclusion, we provide a description of the cutaneous maculopapular manifestations associated with COVID-19. The cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 are wide-ranging and can mimic other dermatoses.
