However, for reliable evaluation of histology in the development of new anti-psoriatic treatments there is a need for a more time-efficient and reproducible method. To test the use of digital image analysis (DIA) in this situation we compared the assessment of immunohistochemically stained skin sections with themore traditionalmanual quantification (MQ) and semiquantitative analysis (SQA). The number of CD3+T cells and the expression of E-selectin were evaluated in stained paired skin biopsie s from 11 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis before and after initiation of anti-psoriasis therapy. We observed significant correlations between MQ and DIA for the number of T cells (epiderm is: r=0.88, P ≤0.01, dermis r=0.87, P ≤0.01). Both DIA and MQ were equally eff ective in detecting reductions of T-cell numbers in active-treated patients. M Q took 20 h, compared to 6 h for DIA.We also observed significant correlations b etween SQA and DIA for the expression of E-selectin (r=0.88, P ≤0.01), althoug h DIA was more sensitive than SQA to detect (early) changes. SQA took 10 h, comp ared to 4 h for DIA. In conclusion, the quantification of the inflammatory infil trate in psoriatic lesional skin by DIA generated similar results as MQ and SQA in a reliable, reproducible and higher time efficient fashion.展开更多

Design:...Objective: To describe a series of 41 patients with fresh lesions of Sweet syndrome in which the histopathologic study demonstrated an inflammatory infiltrate mostly composed of histiocytoid mononuclear cells. Design: Histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic studies of the inflammatory infiltrate in a case series of histiocytoid Sweet syndrome. Setting: University departments of dermatology and a private laboratory of dermatopathology. Methods: Conventional histopathologic study as well as immunohistochemical investigations were performed using the alkaline phosphatase antialkaline phosphatase technique with a large panel of antibodies. In some cases, fluorescent in situ hybridization studies were performed to investigate the presence of the bcr/abl gene fusion. Results: Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that most cells of the infiltrate showed immunoreactivity for CD15, CD43, CD45, CD68, MAC-386, HAM56, and lysozyme, which is consistent with a monocytic-histiocytic immunoprofile. However, intense myeloperoxidase reactivity was detected in most of the cells with histiocytic appearance, which raised the possibility of specific cutaneous involvement by myelogenous leukemia. Nevertheless, cytologic peripheral blood examinations, fluorescent in situ hybridization studies to investigate the bcr/abl gene fusion, and follow-up of the patients, taken all together, ruled out this possibility. Conclusions: This case series demonstrates that some fresh cutaneous lesions of Sweet syndrome are histopathologically characterized by an infiltrate mostly composed of cells that may be misinterpreted as histiocytes, when in fact they are immature myeloid cells. We named this histopathologic variant histiocytoid Sweet syndrome, which should not be mistaken with leukemia cutis or other inflammatory dermatoses that are histopathologically characterized by histiocytes interstitially arranged between collagen bundles of the dermis.展开更多
