RESUMO

Cases of atopic dermatitis (AD)-like rash induced by IL-17A inhibitor secukinumab treatment (SI-AD) have been recently reported in psoriasis patients. To identify immune and inflammatory factors expression in SI-AD. A panel of 15 immune and inflammatory factors in peripheral blood samples from various groups, including patients with patients with SI-AD, psoriasis with secukinumab (S-stable), advanced psoriasis patients (Advanced) and healthy controls (HC). Interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-4 and IL-17A were detected in skin tissue biopsy samples by immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The immunoglobulin E levels in the SI-AD patients exceeded normal values. The IL-10 levels in SI-AD patients were higher than those in S-stable patients, advanced patients and HC. The IL-4 levels in SI-AD patients were higher than that in S-stable patients and HC. The IL-17A levels in SI-AD patients were higher than those in advanced psoriasis patients and HC, but no significant differences were observed between SI-AD patients and S-stable patients. IL-10 and IL-4 levels were higher in AD-like rashes than in healthy skin, while IL-17A did not differ significantly between the two. Upon discontinuing secukinumab, and switching to oral cyclosporine, antihistamines, Janus kinase 1 inhibitor and topical glucocorticoids, SI-AD patients experienced significant improvement in their skin lesions. Upon reexamination, all 15 immune and inflammatory factors returned to normal levels. Immune shift from Th17 towards Th2 may occur in SI-AD, as indicated by abnormal expression of multiple immune and inflammatory factors observed in peripheral blood and skin tissues.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and pathogen spectrum of tinea capitis in Guangxi, southern China. A multicenter prospective descriptive study was conducted in 8 hospitals across Guangxi. From January 2019 to July 2022, one hundred seventy-one (171) patients diagnosed with tinea capitis were included. Demographic data, risk factors, and fungal data were collected. If necessary, species were further identified by morphological or molecular sequencing in the central laboratory. Of the 171 cases of tinea capitis, 74.3% occurred in patients aged 2-8 years. Children with tinea capitis were mainly boys (59.6%) and were more likely than adults to have a history of animal contact (44.2% vs. 33.3%) and zoophilic dermatophyte infection (76.9% vs. 46.7%, P = 0.008). The adults were mainly female (53%) and were more likely than children to have a history of infection with anthropophilic organisms (53.3% vs. 18.9%). The causative agents of tinea capitis in Guangxi were diverse, and the most common pathogen was Microsporum canis (M. cani, n = 98, 62%), followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (T. mentagrophytes n = 18, 11.4%) and Trichophyton tonsurans (T. tonsurans n = 12, 7.6%). In addition, tinea capitis caused by Nannizzia incurvata (N. incurvata) and Trichophyton verrucosum (T. verrucosum) was detected in the study. Notably, the proportion of patients with kerion in the study was 41.5% (n = 71), and most of those patients were children (n = 68), especially neglected children living in the rural mountainous areas of Guangxi, where they were unable to receive timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In conclusion, the causative agents of tinea capitis in Guangxi, South China, are diverse, and the incidence of kerion is high, indicating that diagnosis and treatment modalities in the region remain grossly inadequate. Clinicians and policy-makers should collaborate to adopt public health strategies to control the disease.
