Paradoxical pustular psoriasis flare after infliximab therapy

YY Leung 梁盈盈 and KM Ho 何景文

Abstract
While tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a blockers have proven efficacy for the treatment of both arthritis and psoriasis, new appearance or exacerbation of psoriasis after TNF-a blockers has been increasingly reported. We report the first local case of psoriasis flare after infliximab treatment and review the literature on the topic.
