Abstract

The use of biological agents for the treatment of psoriasis makes it possible to develop a long-term therapeutic strategy, but as a result of a possible imbalance in the immune response profiles it introduces new adverse effects. Cutaneous adverse reactions related to the use of secukinumab are rare, the most common being urticaria and infections. We present the case of a patient with psoriasis who manifested palmoplantar vesicular dermatitis after starting treatment with secukinumab.
