Abstract

Psoriasis is largely a disease driven by the involvement of T-helper cell type 1 (Th1), type 17 (Th17) and their respective cytokines, the genetic predisposition and environmental components play a complex role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Choosing an individualized treatment for each patient is a key element in controlling the symptoms of the disease. The treatment for this multifactorial inflammatory disease was formerly limited to localized topical treatments with keratolytics, coal tar, vitamin D derivatives, corticosteroids or systemic therapies with Methotrexate, Cyclosporine, Apremilast and Retinoids along with ultraviolet phototherapy sessions. However, over the past 2 decades, therapeutical breakthrough regarding psoriasis treatment has been achieved with the introduction of biological treatments such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors and inhibitors of interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23. The objective of this study is to highlight the evolution of patients according to the type of treatment followed: conventional systemic or biological and to highlight the importance of choosing the appropriate type of treatment for each patient according to severity and quality of life. A retrospective observational study, including 100 patients diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris following conventional systemic therapies, and the rest biological therapies during 2020-2021, was carried out in the Oncological Dermatology Clinic of Elias University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest and it has been demonstrated in our study and in numerous studies found in literature biological agents, regardless of their class, are more effective in treating patients with psoriasis vulgaris and reaching PASI 75 and have been shown to have superior drug survival rates than conventional systemic therapies.
