Psoriatic transversal nail grooves on biologics

Clin Case Rep. 2021 Aug 25;9(8):e04606. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.4606. eCollection 2021 Aug.

Abstract

We noticed transverse grooves on the nails of a psoriasis vulgaris patient being treated with ixekizumab. The indentation might have appeared during the period when the effective concentration of ixekizumab was low and psoriasis activity in the nail matrix had increased shortly before the monthly dose.

Keywords: biologics; ixekizumab; nail; psoriasis; transverse grooves.
