PAPA Syndrome: Challenges in Achieving Long-Term Remission. (PubMed, Acta Dermatovenerol Croat)
Acting as a classic steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agent, methotrexate had also been part of the patient's treatment regimen...After thorough assessment of the patient's medical history and current condition, a multi-agent regimen was initiated, consisting of adalimumab, isotretinoin, and prednisone...In addition, TNF-α inhibitors, such as adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab, have been generally regarded as a more effective treatment option for cutaneous changes, while anakinra, an anti-IL-1 agent, has been more beneficial in alleviating joint symptoms (9-11)...Furthermore, the available therapeutic options are not sufficient to achieve long-term remission in many patients. Thus, continuous and comprehensive research is vital for ensuring adequate care of patients with PAPA syndrome.
