| book description |

Biologic therapy is a treatment that strives toÂ modulateÂ a patient's immune system to fight a given disease. In psoriasis, a skin disorder thatÂ isÂ partly caused by a dysregulated immune system resulting inÂ well-demarcated red areas of the skin with white scales, biologic therapy has the potential to vastly improve upon patient outcomes by minimizing the symptoms ofÂ this disease while maximizing the safety profile of the therapy.Â Â Â This book offers an up-to-date and comprehensive review on biologic therapy for the treatment of psoriasis. With over 10Â FDA approved biologic agents for psoriasis (with more in the pipeline), confusion exists among providers regarding which agent is best for a particular patient. Chapters cover allÂ FDA approvedÂ psoriasisÂ biologic agents (including pipeline agents) for use in pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients. This book is unique in that it will not only cover cutting edge treatment principles based on the latest research, it will also be one of the most comprehensive reviews of psoriasis biologics in the COVID-19 era.Â Â Â Biologic Therapy for PsoriasisÂ is a must-have resource for board certified dermatologists and rheumatologists, dermatology and rheumatology residents and fellows, dermatology physician assistants,Â nurse practitionersÂ and medical students. The ultimate goal of this book is to improve patient care by making the busy practicing dermatology provider more adept with these particular therapies.
