The patient was found to carry a somatic heterozygous c.467G>A(p.Arg156His) mutation in KRT10. Expression of interferon-γ, interleukin (IL)-12, IL-23 and IL-17A at the mRNA level was elevated in her lesions. An excellent response was achieved after the application of crisaborole 2% ointment. Our data reveal the crucial role of activation of the immune response in the development of ILVEN with somatic KRT10 mutations.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of LC-OCT in the diagnosis of herpesvirus skin infections. Patients with a clinical or anamnestic suspicion of herpesvirus infection underwent LC-OCT evaluation followed by Tzanck test. The examinations were performed in a blinded manner by different dermatologists. In total, 72 patients (38 male, 34 female; age range 13-84 years) were evaluated. In 57 patients, LC-OCT enabled the recognition of typical herpetic intraepidermal vesicles containing giant ballooning/multinucleated cells, as confirmed by Tzanck test. The final diagnoses were herpes zoster in 31 patients, herpes simplex in 16 patients, varicella in 8 patients and Kaposi varicelliform eruption in 2 patients. In the remaining 15 patients, both LC-OCT and Tzanck test results excluded a diagnosis of herpetic infection. Although the diagnosis of herpesvirus skin infection is generally clinical, in patients with minimal and/or atypical cases, LC-OCT could be a rapid and valid alternative to semi-invasive/invasive or time-consuming procedures, such as the Tzanck test, viral culture, polymerase chain reaction or histopathology.</p>","PeriodicalId":10324,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"1403-1405"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143188446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
