She was experiencing painful vulvar fissures, which ultimately resulted in a diagnosis of vulvar Crohn's disease. The patient's symptoms had resolved at the most recent follow-up visit with treatment, including adalimumab 40 mg, metronidazole 500 mg, and intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 8, 2025 This case highlights the potential of JAK is to address potentially overlapping immune-mediated disorders and suggests that upadacitinib, in combination with oral minoxidil, may promote rapid AU remission. These findings may inform future treatment approaches for complex autoimmune presentations.

Journal: A Case of Tattoo-related Sarcoidosis with Generalized Lymph Node Enlargement. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2025 We noted tattoos (which were created10 years earlier) on the left upper arm and forearm. It was hypothesized that some component in the tattoos had triggered a systemic foreign body reaction by macrophages, resulting in sarcoidosis.Treatment with steroids was ineffective, but additional treatment with methotrexate plus adalimumab was successful.

Journal: A Case of Refractory Hidradenitis Suppurativa Successfully Treated With Upadacitinib. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2025 As several Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathways are involved in the pathogenesis of HS, JAK inhibitors represent a promising therapeutic target. Herein, we present a case of severe hidradenitis suppurativa treated with upadacitinib following the failure of adalimumab and secukinumab.

Conversely, while newly approved HS medications such as secukinumab and bimekizumab show promise for the general population, further research is necessary to evaluate their safety profiles in pregnant and breastfeeding individuals. The scant research available on HS in pregnant and lactating women, also shown by our systematic literature review, highlights the need for a comprehensive investigation into the safety, efficacy, and suitability of management strategies.

Although anti-interferon therapies, thalidomide, and HCT might be potential treatment options, the results of this study suggest that further research is necessary to establish suitable treatments for HA20, especially for those with refractory disease.

Early initiation at greater dosages may optimize IFX response, reduce treatment duration, and improve health-related quality of life.

He was treated with methotrexate and infliximab, with significant improvement...Initial treatment included cyclophosphamide, and he is now maintained on azathioprine and adalimumab, which he tolerates well...Despite treatment with infliximab, azathioprine, and low-dose prednisone, she continues to experience neck pain, which is managed with gabapentin...Interestingly, each case also revealed asymptomatic osseous lesions alongside symptomatic sites, suggesting that subclinical skeletal involvement may coexist even in patients presenting with localized symptoms. Early identification of osseous sarcoidosis may be valuable in recognizing patients at risk for more severe or multi-organ disease.

Additionally, as price fluctuations have the biggest impact on cost-effectiveness, price transparency is essential to effectively guide physicians in selecting a cost-effective treatment strategy.

Review, Journal: An update on the medical treatments of hidradenitis suppurativa. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 18, 2025 Modulation of these nonspecific immune and inflammatory signalling pathways is thus becoming increasingly important in numerous on-going therapeutic trials: JAK pathway and complement inhibition, IL-1 blockade, and even inhibition of B-lymphocyte activation pathways. In this article we detail the currently available data and drugs, and their indications in relation to disease stage, while being constantly aware that presently optimal results require multidisciplinary collaboration and often the use of combination therapies.

The favorable side effects profile and strong clinical effectiveness proved in clinical trials gave the bimekizumab potential to become the first-choice drug in HS treatment.
