Upregulation of IL-36 cytokines in folliculitis and eosinophilic pustular folliculitis.

CONCLUSIONS: The overexpression of IL-36β, IL-36γ and IL-36Ra is an integral part of the inflammatory response of folliculitis and EPF. The coordinated expression of IL-36γ and IL-36Ra may be related to the pathomechanism of EPF.
