CME Part II Psoriasis: Which Therapy for Which Patient Focus on special populations and chronic infections

Despite the availability of several new systemic agents for psoriasis treatment, it can be challenging to choose the right therapy in certain patient populations. There are few up-to-date reviews on systemic drugs for moderate to severe psoriasis in pregnant and pediatric patients and in patients with concomitant chronic infections such as hepatitis, HIV and latent tuberculosis. These groups are usually excluded from clinical trials and much of the available evidence is based on anecdotal case reports and case series.
