Summary

Immune-mediated adverse reactions are a new group of conditions that develop during anti-TNF-alpha treatment. Their etiopathogenesis remains unclear. This study describes three forms of immune-mediated adverse reactions of the skin that were diagnosed correctly. Some types of immune-mediated adverse reactions, such as palmoplantar pustular psoriasis, may persist for a long time after switching biologic agents.

Keywords
