In HIV-infected patients psoriasis is often severe (1) and biologic therapy may therefore be needed. However, most dermatologists are cautious when using immunosuppressive agents in patients with HIV, as these agents may reactivate or induce infection in already immunocompromised patients (1). To date, only a few cases of HIV-infected psoriatic patients treated with biologics have been reported (2). We report here 10 cases of HIV patients treated for plaque psoriasis with biologic therapies in 6 psoriasis centres in Italy.

Abstract
In HIV-infected patients psoriasis is often severe (1) and biologic therapy may therefore be needed. However, most dermatologists are cautious when using immunosuppressive agents in patients with HIV, as these agents may reactivate or induce infection in already immunocompromised patients (1). To date, only a few cases of HIV-infected psoriatic patients treated with biologics have been reported (2). We report here 10 cases of HIV patients treated for plaque psoriasis with biologic therapies in 6 psoriasis centres in Italy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
