Certolizumab on treating hidradenitis suppurativa: a brief report
View through CrossRef
Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects apocrine gland-bearing skin. The management of HS with biologics has expanded significantly over the past few years. Certolizumab pegol (CZP) is a pegylated (polyethylene glycol) antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of a recombinant humanized anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody, which is approved for psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and Crohn’s disease. In recent years many reports have been merging on the use of Certolizumab in treating Hidradenitis suppurativa. Methods: The electronic database MEDLINE was searched through PubMed in February 2022 using the following search terms: Certolizumab "[All Fields] OR "certolizumab pegol"[All Fields] AND "Hidradenitis suppurativa" [All Fields Results: The search revealed that Certolizumab was used in 6 case reports to treat Hidradenitis suppurativa with a total of 7 patients. Conclusions: There are few cases in the literature discussing the use of certolizumab in HS , all of which, shows a good and promising responses with no reported side effects.
