Delayed Drug Hypersensitivity Reaction to Secukinumab in a Patient with Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Overview
Affiliations
A woman in her 30s presented to the dermatology clinic with widespread, pruritic, red papules and plaques involving the ears, trunk and extremities. The rash developed a few days after receiving her second injection of secukinumab, which was initiated for recalcitrant Hurley stage III hidradenitis suppurativa. Investigations revealed a psoriasiform drug hypersensitivity reaction secondary to secukinumab. In this report, we describe the clinical course, histopathological correlation and treatment of this rarely documented reaction.
