Innovation Theater Breakfast: Pursuing a Ghost: Challenges in Diagnosing and Managing Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG)

This Medical Innovation Theater session at the SAWC Fall Symposium in Las Vegas, Nevada, is designed for wound care specialists and will focus on the rare inflammatory skin disease pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). The program will review the clinical presentation and differential diagnosis of PG, emphasizing key features and diagnostic strategies that support timely recognition. It will address the chronic, often relapsing nature of the disease and its long-term impact on patients, while also examining the burden of illness, management challenges, wound care considerations, and unmet clinical needs. The session will further explore the role of the IL-36 pathway in PG pathophysiology, illustrated through a case study on IL-36 inhibition.
