Nail Changes in People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus: Observational and Cross-Sectional Study in a Third-Level Hospital
Conclusions: We observed a high prevalence of nail changes with very diverse etiology, as well as a variety of nondermatophytic yeasts and molds isolates associated with cases with onychomycosis. These findings reinforce and confirm the need for routine nail examination and stress the importance of medical personnel working with people living with HIV to have broad knowledge of nail pathology.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)

Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patients with Paradoxical Psoriasiform Reactions following Treatment with Adalimumab
Conclusions: Paradoxical psoriasis emerged in 4 patients who received at least 5-month regimen of adalimumab for long-lasting HS. Although different mechanisms have been hypothesized for such events, the exact underlying pathogenetic pathway remains unclear. Consistent reporting of such rare cases, and on a larger scale, is encouraged in order to enrich the available literature.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)

Areata-Like Lupus as a Clinical Manifestation of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
Discussion: Patients with cutaneous LE can also manifest as nonscarring patchy alopecia that is clinically similar to AA, despite the absence of systemic manifestations. Areata-like lupus is secondary to the lupus autoimmune infiltrate that affects the skin including the hair follicles. Trichoscopy, histology, and direct immunofluorescence are important to differentiate this form of alopecia from AA, which is believed to have a higher incidence in lupus patients.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)
