The definition of GPP is inconsistent globally, with large discrepancies in clinical management. To provide clinical guidance on managing GPP, we conducted a systematic literature search for articles published within the last decade on PubMed and the Cochrane Library in October 2022 and held four consensus meetings with 12 Taiwanese dermatologists between October 2022 and July 2023. Upon review of 153 articles, we agreed to adopt the European Rare and Severe Psoriasis Expert Network GPP definition with additional clarifications on pustular flares in psoriatic plaques, circinate or annular lesions, and localized pustules. We also drafted a diagnostic algorithm to facilitate GPP diagnosis. Twenty-seven statements on GPP treatment reached consensus. We recommend using an oral retinoid or spesolimab injection for the first-line treatment in both acute (treating flares) and maintenance (preventing flares) settings in adults with GPP. For infants and juveniles with GPP, retinoids are recommended as a first-line treatment. Evidence for other conventional and investigational therapies was reviewed, and a treatment algorithm was proposed. We hope this consensus provides practical guidance for clinicians in Taiwan and helps improve outcomes for GPP patients.","PeriodicalId":11107,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologica Sinica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141268005","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}

These diseases are characterized by the presence of autoantibodies that target proteins at the dermal-epidermal junction, resulting in the formation of tense blisters and erosions on the skin and/or mucosa. The current therapeutic approaches, such as systemic corticosteroid, are associated with significant adverse effects, highlighting that safer and more effective treatment options are an urgent clinical need. To address this unmet need, a comprehensive understanding of the detailed mechanisms underlying PDs is essential. Based on their histopathological infiltration in pemphigoid lesions, neutrophils have long been implicated as major contributors to the initiation and progression of the diseases. Numerous in vivo and in vitro studies have investigated the role of neutrophils in the pemphigoid pathology, revealing various pathological mechanisms induced by these cells, including the release of neutrophil elastase and matrix metalloproteinase-9, as well as the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps. The present review provides a comprehensive summary and critical evaluation of the current understanding regarding the role of neutrophils in PDs. In addition, it discusses the potential of targeting neutrophil-associated pathways as a novel therapeutic approach for the diseases.","PeriodicalId":11107,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologica Sinica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141128628","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}
