title: [First manifestation of psoriasis vulgaris in tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome during treatment with etanercept].
abstract: Drugs antagonizing tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha have been increasingly and successfully used in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis. We report a patient with TNF receptor 1-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) who received TNF-alpha antagonist etanercept. A month later, the patient developed for the first time generalized psoriasis vulgaris. This paradoxical phenomenon has been reported sporadically in patients receiving TNF-alpha antagonists for other inflammatory diseases. The cause of psoriasis induced by TNF-alpha antagonists is still obscure.
