title: STAT Assays with a TWIST: Differentiating Sézary Syndrome from Erythrodermic Inflammatory Dermatitis.
abstract: Sézary syndrome can be challenging to differentiate from erythrodermic inflammatory dermatitis. Biomarkers have been identified in Sézary syndrome, but have not been validated in multicenter studies in a cohort that allows comparisons. Boonk et al. now describe results that confirm the value of immunophenotype, and they report higher sensitivity and specificity for a set of genes used to distinguish Sézary syndrome from erythrodermic inflammatory dermatitis.
