Abstract
Collectively, new developments in the field of medical dermatology will ultimately lead to improved patient care. We review several new findings in the dermatologic literature including the following: new questions regarding the malignant potential of anti-tumor necrosis factor agents, which are widely used for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis as well as psoriatic arthritis; anti-interleulin-12, a promising anticytokine for the treatment of psoriasis; diagnostic advances in the detection of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis; advances in the primary prevention of human papillomavirus and herpes zoster; and new therapeutic options with existing medications for neuropathic pain and pruritus.
