cyclosporine

Topical therapies (glucocorticosteroids, a betamethasone-calcipotriol combination or calcineurin inhibitors) remain the first-line therapy for mild to moderate cases. Patients with severe scalp psoriasis and those who do not respond to topical treatment are candidates for systemic therapy, including targeted therapy (interleukin-17 inhibitors, interleukin-23 inhibitors, tumor necrosis alpha inhibitors) or classic treatment (methotrexate, cyclosporine) Recent studies have demonstrated promising outcomes with novel treatments including Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors and other new small molecules. This review provides updated information focused on diagnostic methods and targeted treatment of scalp psoriasis with relevance to clinical management of patients.

Treatment prioritized AA with cyclosporine and eltrombopag. Subsequently, the LPL/WM was treated with rituximab monotherapy...Although AA is a diagnosis of exclusion, its coexistence with lymphoma is rare. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic complexity of AA and LPL/WM overlap and suggests that prioritizing the treatment of AA may lead to better outcomes.

A 75-year-old man with mHSPC was treated with Apa and leuprorelin. Apa induced CYP3A4 via the PXR pathway, leading to a sustained DDI with CsA. Careful monitoring is necessary when Apa is coadministered with CYP3A4 substrates.

An 85-year-old male presented with multiple rapidly progressive, painful, ulcerative lesions, initially misdiagnosed as PG and treated with oral cyclosporine with no clinical response... The case documents an exceptionally rare cutaneous presentation of A-DLBCL, expanding the extremely limited literature on this enigmatic entity. Furthermore, it underscores the fundamental role of early skin biopsy in the differential diagnosis of non-specific ulcerative lesions, which is critical for ensuring appropriate treatment administration within the therapeutic window in cases of malignancy.

A 74-year-old Japanese woman with rapidly progressive DM-associated ILD was treated with high-dose glucocorticoids, intravenous cyclophosphamide, and cyclosporine, followed by tofacitinib due to an insufficient response. Discontinuation of tofacitinib alone resulted in rapid clinical and radiological improvement. This case highlights PAP as a rare, potentially reversible complication during JAK inhibitor therapy in anti-MDA5 antibody-positive DM-associated ILD and underscores the importance of considering PAP when elevated KL-6 levels and radiological abnormalities occur despite only mild respiratory symptoms.
