ADALİMUMAB: USAGE İN A CASE WİTH PSORİASİS AND DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

Abstract

There are different biological treatments for psoriasis and one of these treatments is adalimumab. Here we want to present a case with psoriasis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy treated with adalimumab. A 23-year-old male patient with psoriasis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy applied to our dermatology clinic. At the sixth week control of the patient we achieved PASI 90 response. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare disease and its coexistence with psoriasis is a very rare status. No similar case report was found in the literature. We wanted to present both this rare status and psoriasis progression under adalimumab treatment. Keywords: psoriasis, adalimumab, Duchenne muscular dystrophy
