Palmoplantar subcorneal pustular dermatosis following adalimumab therapy for rheumatoid arthritis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors represent potent new therapies for severe forms of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and several other immune-mediated disorders. Paradoxical worsening or de novo development of psoriasis has been documented with their use. Palmoplantar pustulosis has been one of the commoner presentations of this unusual side effect. Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) has some similarity to pustular psoriasis, particularly the acral form of SPD. Thus far there have been no biopsy-proven cases of SPD associated with TNF-α inhibitor use. METHODS: We describe clinical and histopathological features of a pustular skin condition which occurred in a 48-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who had started adalimumab four months prior. The adalimumab had been added to her usual treatment with methotrexate because of incomplete symptom control. RESULTS: Painful and pruritic skin lesions were noted on her palms and soles primarily, with some extension to the limbs and abdomen. Examination revealed relatively non-inflamed pustules with fluid levels, together with sparse crusted papules. Histopathology showed subcorneal pustules more suggestive of SPD than pustular psoriasis. The eruption resolved completely when adalimumab was withdrawn; methotrexate was continued. CONCLUSION: Subcorneal pustular dermatosis, in addition to psoriasis vulgaris and pustular psoriasis, may occur in patients treated with TNF-α inhibitors like adalimumab.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
