Perforating dermatoses are characterized by transepithelial elimination of dermal structures. We report a 61-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis who developed a perforating folliculitis following the administration of two tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors, infliximab and etanercept. To our knowledge, no perforating disorders have been reported associated with these drugs. This report suggests, for the first time, a role for TNF-alpha in the pathogenesis of perforating folliculitis.
穿通性皮肤病的特征是真皮结构经上皮排出。我们报告一名61岁的类风湿性关节炎男性患者,在使用两种肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α抑制剂英夫利昔单抗和依那西普后发生了穿通性毛囊炎。据我们所知,尚无与这些药物相关的穿通性疾病的报道。本报告首次提示TNF-α在穿通性毛囊炎发病机制中的作用。
