CoronoVac is a non-viable vaccine for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2). Nowadays, there has been vaccination program for at-risk groups and older adults in Turkey. We here present 72-year-old male psoriasis patient who developed generalized pustular psoriasis flare after administration of CoronoVac. The COVID-PCR test was negative and investigations for flare etiology were all normal. He was first (to the best of our knowledge) psoriasis patient who developed an erythrodermic flare after the first dose of CoronaVac vaccine.
Background: Ten-year survival and retention rate data on biologics are extremely limited, and there is a need to evaluate these metrics based on real-world data as well as on the results of clinical studies. Objective: To assess the long-term survival rates of adalimumab and infliximab in real-life practice. Methods: This study is based on data from the Turkish Psoriasis Registry and the digital records of the Medical School of Bezmialem Vakif University. Baseline data including demographic characteristics, duration of treatment, use of combination treatments, modified regimens, and reasons for treatment termination were extracted. Results: In total, 404 patients (228 on adalimumab and 176 on infliximab) treated between July 1, 2005 and December 31, 2020 were identified. The retention rate was 7.4% for infliximab and 3.5% for adalimumab after 10 years (P = 0.85). Conclusions: The efficacy of infliximab and adalimumab diminishes over time. There were no significant differences in the retention rate between the two drugs, but the survival time was longer for infliximab according to Kaplan–Meier analysis.
Background Adult atopic dermatitis (AD), especially adult‐onset type appears to have different clinical manifestations. Dupilumab is an IL‐4 receptor antagonist used in patients with moderate and severe atopic dermatitis, aged 12 years and older and it works by inhibiting the IL‐4 and IL‐13 signaling pathway. The purpose of our study is to retrospectively investigate the side effect profile and drug efficacy of thirteen adult patients who received dupilumab treatment and to evaluate the drug use status and the results during the COVID‐19 pandemicour stuAdult atopic dermatitis (AD), especially adult‐onset type appears to have different clinical manifestations.

Materials and Methods Thirteen patients with clinical and/or histopathological diagnoses of atopic dermatitis who received dupilumab treatment and were subsequently followed up in Bezmialem Vakif University dermatology outpatient clinic between April 2019 and October 2021 were included in our study.Patient files were reviewed, and patients were interviewed in‐person or by phone to learn about the COVID‐19 contagion.Descriptive statistical analysis was performed with Microsoft Excel, and the data obtained were calculated as mean and percentage. Results All of our patients responded to the treatment after one course of dupilumab injection and also CRP and LDH levels decreased. Conjunctivitis side effect was found at a slightly higher rate than in previous clinical studies. The treatment was continued during the COVID‐19 pandemic in most patients. Meanwhile, four patients ...
