Sažetak
New psoriasis therapies offer great hope for the people who suffer from psoriasis and other chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are the dis&not ; ; eases that can be treated with biological therapy which targets either the interaction between an antigen-presenting cell and the T-cell, or cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- a) that are presumed to be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis. Current biologic therapies now seem to hold promise of potentially excellent effect: etanercept ; efalizumab ; infliximab ; macrolides (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, sirolimus). Existing therapies in Croatia are: phototherapy (PUVA or UVB) for 4 weeks and for 6 weeks therapy: retinoids (Neotigason&reg ; ; ) + PUVA (RePUVA), cyc&not ; ; losporin, methotrexate (MTX), and in very rare circumstances systemic steroids. Rota&not ; ; tional therapy is necessary. Topical therapy includes: keratolitics ; tar (antralin, dithranol 0.5-4%) ; topical corticosteroids ; analogs of D3 vitamnine (calcipotriol, tacalcitol) ; topical retinoids (tazaroten gel) ; naphthalanotherapy ; heliomarinotherapy and combination of all above. In Croatia we use all therapeutic possibilities as they are in Europe, except bio&not ; ; logicals which will transform the way of treating moderate to severe psoriasis. We prefer combinational therapy and principles of rotational therapy.
