Amicrobial pustulosis associated with autoimmune disease in a patient with Sjögren syndrome and IgA nephropathy.
Amicrobial pustulosis associated with autoimmune disease (APAD) is a rare clinical condition, characterized by relapsing pustular eruption, affecting mainly the skin folds. Almost all previously described cases were young women with varying underlying autoimmune diseases. We report a 36-year-old woman with the interesting triad of APAD, Sjögren syndrome and IgA nephropathy. Her rashes responded to oral prednisolone and cyclophosphamide.
