dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of our study is to evaluate the status of continuation of treatment of our patients who received biologic treatment during the pandemic and how they were affected by coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Material and Methods: The clinical processes of patients with moderate-severe plaque psoriasis who were treated with biologics between March 2020 and February 2021 were evaluated. Results: Thirty-three (21.2%) of our 156 psoriasis patients who received biologic therapy stopped treatment at the beginning of the pandemic. Fourteen of the 123 patients who were continuing the treatment were positive for COVID-19. One of the 33 psoriasis patients who stopped biologic treatment was positive for COVID-19. There was no statistical difference between those who continued with biologic treatment and those who did not in the rates of positivity for COVID- 19 after contact with a COVID-19 positive person, and frequency of severe symptoms (p=0.607, p=1.00, respectively). In terms of the difference between the mean of Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores at the onset of the pandemic and the mean of PASI scores at the 12th month, there was no statistical difference between those who were positive for COVID-19 and those who did not (p=0.782). Conclusion: We have observed that the treatment with biologic agents in psoriasis patients does not increase the COVID-19 transmission risk, does not cause severe disease, and does not increase the hospitalization rate and mortality rate. © 2022 OrtadogŸu Reklam Tanitim Yayincilik Turizm Egitim Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S..
