Treatment of severe psoriasis with ixekizumab in a liver transplant recipient with concomitant hepatitis B virus infection.

Treatment of severe psoriasis (PsO) in organ transplant (OT) patients is difficult. In fact, systemic drugs used for PsO therapy can be detrimental to transplanted organs and/or can increase the risk of serious infections in subjects already taking antireject medicines. Current guidelines fail to give indications on how to manage PsO OT subjects. Moreover, only a few cases of patients with the above-cited characteristics treated with systemic therapies have been published so far. Here, we report our experience concerning a liver transplant patient successfully treated with ixekizumab for his psoriasis throughout 1 year.
