No full textMultidisciplinary focus on methotrexate in psoriatic disesase
No full textThe aim of this focus is to establish the role of methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of psoriatic disease (PD). Despite the lack of hard evidence, MTX can be regarded as the nonbiological drug of choice for the treatment of peripheral psoriatic arthritis, although its effect on psoriatic dactylitis, enthesitis, and spondylitis needs to be further studied by means of well conducted clinical trials. MTX is effective in improving the skin involvement of PD, and can be used in moderate to severe psoriasis before starting a biological agent. Although rheumatologists consider it relatively safe in PD, dermatologists are very concerned about its toxicity and so, until more definite data are available, precautions should be taken to prevent MTX-induced liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
Narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy in the treatment of cutaneous graft-versus-host disease in oncohaematological paediatric patients
No full textBACKGROUND: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) represents an important complication following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. In recent years, narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB, 311-313 nm) has been found to be a beneficial adjuvant treatment in patients refractory to first-line immunosuppressive drugs.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to analyse retrospectively the clinical outcome of 10 GVHD paediatric patients treated with NB-UVB therapy.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ten paediatric patients (six girls and four boys: median age 12.5 years, range 4-20) with cutaneous GVHD were enrolled in the study: five patients with chronic GVHD and five patients with an overlap syndrome GVHD. All patients had already been shown to be resistant to first-choice immunosuppressive protocols, and were treated with NB-UVB phototherapy until a clinical remission of skin lesions occurred.
RESULTS: A complete response (absence of lesions) was achieved in 80% of the cases (eight patients) after a median number of 29 treatments, corresponding to a median of 7.5 weeks (52 days) of treatment (range 3-13 weeks), with an average cumulative dose of 28.71 J cm(-2) (range 1.02-70.38 J cm(-2)). Only two patients reported a partial remission (< 18% of body surface area involved). During the follow-up period, a complete remission after 1 year was observed in 75% of patients and after 2 years in 71% of the evaluable patients.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that NB-UVB phototherapy represents a valid second-line treatment in paediatric patients affected by GVHD and refractory to immunosuppressive first-line treatmen
