Cutaneous sarcoidosis and infliximab: evidence for efficacy in refractory disease.

Jenny Tu1, Jonathan Chan.   

Abstract

Biological therapy with tumour necrosis factor alpha antibodies continues to offer a life-changing option for a range of autoimmune and inflammatory skin conditions. We present three cases of sarcoidosis, with refractory cutaneous disease successfully treated with infliximab. A review of the literature shows increased numbers of cases of refractory cutaneous sarcoidosis successfully cleared with infliximab therapy.
