Ustekinumab an alternative therapeutic option for refractory erytroderma pytiriasis rubra pilaris disease

Introduction: Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare, chronic erythematous squamous disorder. PRP is divided into six subtypes, type 1 being the most common and classic form in adults. PRP erytroderma may be a therapeutic challenge because standard therapies are lacking due to its unclear pathogenesis. Ustekinumab is a monoclonal antibody that is approved for the treatment of psoriasis, but has been shown to be effective as an off-label use treatment for PRP. We report a case of refractory erythroderma type 1 PRP with complete resolution with ustekinumab therapy.
