Abstract
Abstract: Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is a severe and rare variant of psoriasis, accounting for less than 3% of cases. It is characterized by widespread scaling and erythema that affects more than 90% of the body surface area. Alopecia can manifest as a symptom associated with the disease, further exacerbating the impact on the patient’s quality of life. We present the case of a patient with severe EP and diffuse alopecia who did not respond to conventional therapies. The patient was subsequently treated with ixekizumab as per labeled usage, resulting in complete resolution of both psoriatic skin lesions (Psoriasis area and severity index/PASI 100) and alopecia (The Severity of Alopecia Tool/SALT 0).
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
