摘要
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) includes a spectrum of rare chronic inflammatory disorders with papulosquamous eruptions of unknown cause. Different etiologies have been proposed such as vitamin A metabolism dysfunction, association with autoimmune disorders, infection or malignancies. However, PRP seems to be a polygenic skin disorder. Classical systemic treatment is empirical and includes retinoids and methotrexate; however, only few series on treatments exist. Recently there has been an increasing number of reports documenting that new biologicals and in particular TNF-alpha blockers are safe and effective. Copyright (C) 2012 S. Karger AG, Basel
