Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten über das erstmalige Auftreten einer granulomatösen Rosazea innerhalb von 4 Wochen nach Therapieeinleitung mit Etanercept bei einer Patientin mit Psoriasis vulgaris et arthropathica. Nach Absetzen von Etanercept und topischer Behandlung kam es zu einer schnellen Rückbildung, sodass ein ursächlicher Zusammenhang zwischen Hautveränderungen und Medikamenteneinnahme angenommen wird. Nach unserem Wissen ist dieses die erste Beschreibung einer Rosazea als kutane granulomatöse Nebenwirkung von Etanercept. Solche oder ähnliche Hautveränderungen sind unter der weiterführenden und erfolgreichen Therapie der Psoriasis mit Infliximab nicht erneut in Erscheinung getreten.

Abstract

A woman with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis developed granulomatous rosacea after four weeks of therapy with etanercept. When this agent was stopped, her skin lesions rapidly resolved with topical therapy, suggesting a causal relationship between the skin lesions and drug intake. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on rosacea as granulomatous cutaneous adverse drug reaction caused by etanercept. No relapse of skin changes appeared under extended and successful anti-psoriatic therapy with infliximab.
