Abstract
Biologics targeting specific cytokines and pathways have revolutionized the management of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis. Although generally very safe, these treatments have their limitations and, surprisingly, can aggravate pre-existing or induce novel inflammatory diseases. Here, we present a cohort of psoriasis patients developing new onset eczema during anti-IL17 treatment, an intriguing side effect of IL-17 blockade with a largely unknown pathogenesis. The coexistence of psoriasis and eczema in a single patient is uncommon given their distinct and opposing immune mechanisms.
