Prevalence of fungal colonization among patients with psoriasis in difficult-to-treat areas: impact of apremilast on mycotic burden and clinical outcomes
Fungi may play a role in the psoriasis pathogenesis. Apremilast has been shown to ameliorate psoriasis signs and symptoms and counteract fungal overgrowth, probably by dampening inflammation, triggered by the fungal infections themselves. Thus, apremilast may represent an effective therapeutic approach in the treatment of DTT psoriasis and modulate the fungal colonization.
