Paradoxical Psoriasis During IL-17 Blockage: Two Memorable Patients

Abstract
47 year-old man who suffered for plaque psoriasis since 2013 was previously treated with topicals, UVB photherapy, acitretin, methotrexate and adalimumab (Imraldi®) with scarce response. Brodalumab (IL-17 receptor chain A blocking antibody) at 210 mg sc day 0, week-1, week-2 and every 2 weeks was initiated (baseline PASI of 16) with fast improvement of psoriasis (PASI-90 at week 4) and new onset of erythema, pustules and pain in the palmoplantar area after each subcutaneous Brodalumab administration and progressive improvement after 5-8 days.
