Abstract

Neutrophilic dermatoses are a group of skin disorders characterized by intense epidermal and/or dermal inflammatory infiltrates composed of neutrophils with no evidence of infection [1]. They are often associated with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease [2, 3].Granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) is an extracorporeal circulation therapy that effectively removes activated granulocytes and monocytes from peripheral blood to correct imbalances in immunological regulatory mechanisms. [...]
