Psoriasis treatment relies on immunosuppression, and although most experts agree that the benefit-to risk-ratio is in favor of maintaining selective biologic therapies, and small molecules such as apremilast, they recommend dismission if severe COVID-19 symptoms occur. The fact that patient with a severe form of psoriasis contracted the COVID-19 pneumonia, while on treatment with apremilast is worth of some considerations. 11 Recently, another Italian psoriasis patient contracting COVID-19 under IL-23 inhibitor treatment (guselkumab) has been reported, and completely recovered from the infection. 12 From our experience, apremilast confirms its safety in very critical patients with severe infections, including COVID-19. ./cache/cord-342254-vdovpfu1.txt ./txt/cord-342254-vdovpfu1.txt
