Resumen

La psoriasis cutánea y articular suele presentar un curso más complicado en los pacientes infectados crónicamente por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH), no sólo por las particularidades clínicas en este contexto, sino por el estado inmunológico del sujeto y las interacciones potenciales que pueden tener los tratamientos sistémicos con la terapia antirretroviral. Parece que la disminución del factor de necrosis tumoral (TNF) sérico puede mejorar el curso de algunas infecciones crónicas, motivo por el cual se postula que los bloqueadores del TNF podrían suponer una nueva modalidad terapéutica eficaz en los pacientes infectados por el VIH con psoriasis. Presentamos el caso de un varón con seropositividad para el VIH que presentó, tras la administración de etanercept, una respuesta favorable de la psoriasis cutánea y articular, sin producirse efectos adversos remarcables ni variaciones en el recuento de linfocitos CD4+ o en la carga viral, y revisamos la literatura disponible.

Abstract

Cutaneous and articular psoriasis usually have a more complicated course in patients chronically infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), not only for its particular presentation in these subjects, but also because of their modified immunological scenario and potential drugs interactions with antiretroviral therapy. Because of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) downregulation may improve the evolution of chronic infections, some authors support biological TNF blockers as an effective and safe therapeutical approach for the treatment of psoriasis in patients with HIV infection. We present the case of a man with cutaneous and articular psoriasis and chronic HIV infection who responded successfully to etanercept, and we make a review of the literature. There were no adverse events or changes in CD4+ lymphocyte and viral load all along the treatment.
