Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a severe autoimmune bullous dermatosis that is characterized by autoantibodies against epidermal adhesion proteins causing painful mucosal and skin blistering. Standard treatments for PV include corticosteroids, steroid-sparing immunosuppressants, or intravenous monoclonal anti-CD20-antibody therapy. The European guidelines suggest high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy as a promising approach for severe or treatment-resistant cases. We report on a 65-year-old woman with severe and recurrent disease who achieved long-term disease stabilization with IVIg treatment. Because of recurrent fatigue and headache, the patient was switched to an alternative IVIg preparation with a novel manufacturing process, thus ensuring high purity and better tolerability. We observed excellent efficacy, yet side effects remained largely unchanged. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the long-term efficacy and tolerability of this new IVIg preparation.

Japan is one of the rare non-tropical countries with documented cases of Buruli ulcer (BU). Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp. shinshuense has been identified as the causative agent. The first report of BU in Japan dates back to 1982, with sporadic reports thereafter. Recently, the number of cases has been on the increase, and 50 cases (57.7%) are from the past decade alone, out of a total of 87 cases reported to date. Japan's well-developed healthcare facilities play a crucial role in enabling detailed investigations and providing appropriate treatment for patients, contributing to a favorable prognosis. However, the rarity of the disease results in lack of awareness among healthcare professionals, leading to frequent delays in diagnosis. This article aims to offer an updated overview of BU cases in Japan and to raise awareness of BU among dermatologists and other healthcare professionals in a non-endemic setting.
日本是罕见的有布路里溃疡(BU)病例记录的非热带国家之一。溃疡分枝杆菌亚种(Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp.shinshuense)已被确认为致病菌。布路里溃疡在日本的首次报告可追溯到 1982 年,之后也有零星报告。最近,病例数量呈上升趋势,在迄今为止报告的 87 例病例中,仅过去十年就有 50 例(占 57.7%)。日本完善的医疗保健设施在为患者进行详细检查和提供适当治疗方面发挥了重要作用,有助于患者获得良好的预后。然而,由于该疾病的罕见性,医护人员对其缺乏认识,导致诊断经常出现延误。本文旨在提供日本 BU 病例的最新概况,并提高皮肤科医生和其他医疗保健专业人员在非流行病环境中对 BU 的认识。
