Paradoxical psoriasiform reactions during treatment with adalimumab for hidradenitis suppurativa: Real-life experience and therapeutic response to other biological drugs.

Adalimumab is the only biological drug approved to date for the treatment of moderate and/or severe hidradenitis suppurativa. Adverse events reported during therapy include paradoxical psoriasiform reactions. No guidelines are currently available for the management of this clinical condition. The aim of this paper is to describe the incidence and clinical features of paradoxical psoriasiform eruptions occurring during treatment with adalimumab in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa and to report real-life experience in management and the possible role of other biologic agents for the treatment of both conditions.
