ABSTRACT
Psoriasis in pediatric patients is uncommon and the management of moderate-to-severe cases can be challenging. We report the case of a 17-year-old girl who presented with severe plaque psoriasis unresponsive to UVB phototherapy. The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) was 18 and the Dermatology Life Quality Index was 24. We decided to prescribe ixekizumab, observing complete skin clearance after only 8 weeks. The patient is still on treatment with no reported adverse events after two years.
