The risk of candidiasis during treatment with bimekizumab for the management of plaque psoriasis: a 16-week multicentre real-world experience – IL PSO (Italian Landscape Psoriasis)
Anti-interleukin 17 use has been associated with a higher risk of candidiasis, as this cytokine is involved in maintaining mucosal barriers and orchestrating immune responses to fungal pathogens. We performed a real-life retrospective multicentre study aiming to assess the risk of candidiasis in patients undergoing treatment with bimekizumab at labelled dosage for psoriasis, for at least 16 weeks.
