01/01/2018 - "EGFR-antibodies are associated with significant skin toxicity, including acneiform rash and folliculitis. "
06/01/1993 - "We analyzed lymphoid cell populations from thyroid multifocal granulomatous folliculitis (palpation thyroiditis) with a panel of antibodies in order to assess the nature of the immunologic process underlying this otherwise clinically insignificant condition as compared with other specific types of thyroiditis. "
11/01/2006 - "Given that (I) some cases of eosinophilic folliculitis have been reported which were associated with infestation with metazoan parasites; (2) infestations with the roundworm Toxocara canis are known to induce eosinophilic reactions in some tissues; and (3) therapy-induced remission of eosinophilic folliculitis was accompanied by a decrease of Toxocara-directed antibodies in the patient's serum, we propose that there is an aetiopathogenic link between toxocariasis and eosinophilic folliculitis in this patient."
01/01/2012 - "The frequency and severity of folliculitis seem to be greater with the antibodies than with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors. "
01/01/2001 - "The aim of the present study was to determine the titer of the common antibodies against superficial antigens of Pityrosporum ovale in the serum of Dermatitis seborrhoides patients and compare the results with the findings of examinations of serum antibodies in healthy subjects and patients with Pityriasis simplex capitis, Pityriasis versicolor, Pityrosporum folliculitis.
