Abstract
Geographic tongue (GT), a form of inverse psoriasis, is frequently linked to plaque psoriasis. The objective of the study is to evaluate IL-17 blocker (secukinumab) effect on GT severity. This reallife, multicenter, retrospective observational pilot study evaluated patients with plaque psoriasis and concomitant GT that started in label treatment with secukinumab. Patients were evaluated twice (T0=baseline and T1=after 16 weeks) by a dentist and a dermatologist collecting data on cutaneous Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and oral statuses using Hume's classification of the Geographic Tongue Severity Index (GTASI). Twenty-nine psoriatic patients with GT treated with secukinumab were enrolled for the study. Seventeen patients display type I GT, 6 type II and 6 type III with an overall GTASI of 25.52±9.57 at the baseline (T0). No correlation was found between delta GTASI and delta PASI (r=-0.27, p=0.1551). GTASI decrement from T0 to T1 was statistically significant ([95%CI -26.64 to -19.56], t=-13.36, p<0.0001). Secukinumab may enter in GT therapeutic armamentarium as the first biologic IL-17 blocker in patients with concomitant moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
