RESUMEN
El tratamiento de pacientes inmunosuprimidos con agentes anti-factor de necrosis tumoral alfa (TNF-alfa), representa un desafío en tanto se trata de fármacos con un efecto inmonomodulador que presuponen un aumento en el riesgo de infecciones oportunistas. Presentamos un paciente de 42 años, coinfectado con el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (HIV) y hepatitis C (HCV), con eritrodermia y artritis psoriática severa en respuesta al tratamiento con metotrexato, tratado con etanercept. Durante el primer año de tratamiento no se reportaron efectos adversos ni infecciones oportunistas. Si bien ha habido reportes de eritrodermia y de artritis psoriásica tratados con etanercept, asociados o no a infección por HIV y/o HCV, en nuestro conocimiento, este es el primer caso reportado con una presentación concomitante de eritrodermia psoriásica y artritis psoriásica en un paciente coinfectado con HIV y HCV tratado existosamente con un agente anti-TNF-alfa.
ABSTRACT
The use of anti tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNF-alfa) agents in immunosuppressed patients, represents a challenge in as much as this drugs with an immune modulator effect, pose a raise in the risk for opportunistic infections. We present a 42 year old patient, co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), with erythroderma and severe psoriatic arthritis, without response to methotrexate, treated with etanercept. No adverse effects, or opportunistic infections were reported during the first year of treatment. This it is the first report of a successful treatment with an anti-TNF alfa agent in a patient with a concomitant presentation of psoriatic erythroderma, severe psoriatic arthritis, co-infected with HIV and HCV.
