Psoriasiform Reactions to Anti–Tumor Necrosis Factor α Therapy

Abstract

All of the main anti-TNF-α medications currently used are capable of causing psoriasiform eruptions. Poor responders to topical agents, such as corticosteroids, may benefit from supplemental therapy aimed at the psoriasiform eruption or changing to a different class of immunomodulatory agents. Switching anti-TNF-α medications had a low likelihood of improving psoriasiform skin reactions, further suggesting that these eruptions are a drug class effect.
