Cutaneous diseases such as psoriasis are often the first disease manifestations in HIV+ patients, with greater severity corresponding to a weaker immune system. Despite its prevalence, literature and placebo-controlled studies on the recognition of HIV as a cause of psoriasis are lacking, causing challenges to arise in its treatment. In this article, we illustrate a case of an HIV+ patient whose psoriasis drastically improved after the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) consisting of bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide. While it is unclear which combination of antiretrovirals is optimal for controlling psoriasis in HIV+ patients, prompt initiation of HAART can significantly improve immune status and psoriasis in HIV+ patients.
银屑病等皮肤病往往是HIV阳性患者最早出现的疾病表现,病情越严重表明免疫系统越弱。尽管其发病率很高,但缺乏关于将HIV认定为银屑病病因的文献和安慰剂对照研究,这给其治疗带来了挑战。在本文中,我们阐述了一例HIV阳性患者的病例,该患者在开始使用由比克替拉韦、恩曲他滨和替诺福韦艾拉酚胺组成的高效抗逆转录病毒疗法(HAART)后,银屑病病情大幅改善。虽然尚不清楚哪种抗逆转录病毒药物组合对控制HIV阳性患者的银屑病最为理想,但及时启动HAART可显著改善HIV阳性患者的免疫状态和银屑病病情。
