Histochemical localization of hyaluronan in psoriasis, allergic contact dermatitis and normal skin.
In suction blister fluid from active psoriatic lesions we have previously found elevated concentrations of hyaluronan. The aim of this investigation was to study the localization of hyaluronan with a histochemical method, in biopsy specimens from lesions of 13 patients with progressive psoriasis. Ten normal subjects and seven patients with allergic contact… (More)
Genetic analysis of PSORS1 distinguishes guttate psoriasis and palmoplantar pustulosis.
The PSORS1 locus in the major histocompatibility complex region is the major genetic determinant for psoriasis vulgaris. Within the PSORS1 region reside at least three potential candidate genes for psoriasis susceptibility. Specific allelic variants of the genes HLA-Cw*6, HCR*WWCC, and CDSN*5 are strongly associated with psoriasis vulgaris and are in strong… (More)
Psoriasis patients with antibodies to gliadin can be improved by a gluten-free diet.
In a previous screening study, 16% of patients with psoriasis had IgA and/or IgG antibodies to gliadin (AGA). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) in 33 AGA-positive and six AGA-negative psoriasis patients. Of the 33 AGA-positive patients, two had IgA antibodies to endomysium (EmA) and 15 an increased number of… (More)
The Rombo syndrome: a familial disorder with vermiculate atrophoderma, milia, hypotrichosis, trichoepitheliomas, basal cell carcinomas and peripheral vasodilation with cyanosis.
This hitherto unknown and dominantly inherited disorder is characterized by vermiculate atrophoderma, milia, hypotrichosis, trichoepitheliomas, basal cell carcinomas and peripheral vasodilation with cyanosis. It has been present in the family reported for at least four generations. The lesions become visible in late childhood and are most pronounced on the… (More)
Patients with psoriasis often have increased serum levels of IgA antibodies to gliadin.
It was recently observed that in six patients with psoriasis and one with palmoplantar pustulosis, with newly discovered gluten intolerance, a gluten-free diet had a remarkable effect on the skin lesions. This prompted us to undertake a screening investigation to discover whether increased levels of serum antibodies to gliadin are more common in patients… (More)
Gluten-free diet in psoriasis patients with antibodies to gliadin results in decreased expression of tissue transglutaminase and fewer Ki67+ cells in the dermis.
Previous studies have shown that 16% of patients with psoriasis vulgaris have IgA and/or IgG antibodies to gliadin, but few have antibodies to endomysium. The increase in duodenal intraepithelial lymphocytes was mild. Still, highly significant clinical improvement was observed after 3 months on a gluten-free diet. This study surveys certain… (More)
The effects of diet and zinc treatment on the fatty acid composition of serum lipids and adipose tissue and on serum lipoproteins in two adolescent patients with acrodermatitis enteropathica.
In two adolescent patients with acrodermatitis enteropathica fatty acid spectra in serum lipids and adipose tissue and serum lipoprotein concentrations were followed for about 7 yr. One patient was treated by diet and iv infusions of high amounts of linoleic acid and later by different doses of zinc. The other boy was given only varying doses of zinc. Extra… (More)
IgA antibodies to gliadin and coeliac disease in psoriatic arthritis.
OBJECTIVES To find out whether patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsoA) have an increased prevalence of antibodies to gliadin (AGA) and of coeliac disease. METHODS One hundred and fourteen PsoA patients with skin disease of 20+/-13 yr and joint disease of 11+/-10 yr duration answered a questionnaire concerning their medical history and underwent clinical… (More)
Palmoplantar pustulosis: a clinical and immunohistological study.
Pustulosis palmoplantaris (PPP) is a common chronic skin disease, which is very resistant to treatment. It is not known why the lesions are located in the palms and soles. There are few studies of the disease and in particular studies of the histology. Fifty-nine patients with PPP answered a questionnaire concerning their medical history and 39 of them were… (More)
