Based on this preliminary evidence of validity and reliability, this new seven-item ISS may be useful in comparing pruritus severity among different disease populations or in assessing pruritus treatment effectiveness.
Acquired pincer nail is a dystrophy with numerous reported causative associations, including psoriasis, tumors of the nail apparatus, tinea ungium, ss-blocker usage, and now SLE. Pain from the resulting constriction can interfere greatly with daily activities and can be debilitating to the extent of requiring therapy.
IVIg is being used for a growing number of inflammatory and immune disorders. It is being increasingly reported as a successful treatment for scleromyxedema. Although our patient succumbed to the disease, combination therapy with prednisone and IVIg provided temporary symptomatic, laboratory, and clinical improvement of the condition. Optimization of this therapeutic strategy is thus indicated for the management of scleromyxedema.
