Abstract:
Biological agents have been increasingly applied to the treatment of psoriasis, and have shown favorable efficacy for severe, refractory and special-type cases. Attention has been paid to the appropriate, effective and safe use of biological agents in clinical practice. Therefore, a group of Chinese experts majoring in psoriasis develop the present consensus after thorough discussions based on domestic and international research data, current clinical experience, and features of Chinese psoriatic patients. The consensus provides detailed guidance for clinicians in terms of principles and methods of application, efficacy and safety of biological agents, screening and monitoring of patients, common problems and their solutions, and special issues for special patient populations.
