Tuberculosis reactivation following apremilast therapy for psoriasis: Time to consider routine TB screening?
Apremilast is a relatively new oral treatment for psoriasis, which reduces expression of pro‐inflammatory factors, including tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNFα), critical to the immune control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for apremilast no new cases of active tuberculosis (TB) were identified, thus, screening for latent TB infection (LTBI) is not currently recommended prior to apremilast initiation. We describe a case of M.tuberculosis reactivation shortly after commencement of apremilast for psoriasis. We are recommending clinicians perform LTBI risk assessment in all patients, and appropriate LTBI screening in select populations prior to apremilast initiation.
