摘要
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory dermatosis whose aetiopathogenesis remains unclear, although tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) appears to play a crucial role. The biological potential of TNFα inhibitors, such as etanercept, which reduce the inflammatory cascade, has radically changed the therapeutic management of patients with psoriasis and other immunomediated inflammatory diseases, associated with TNFα. The pathogenesis of the selective destruction of melanocytes in vitiligo is not fully understood, although there is growing evidence that several T helper type 1 cytokines, particularly TNFα, may be involved in the depigmentation process.
