Abstract
We report about a 52-year-old woman with onset of drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE) in sun-exposed areas, under therapy with secukinumab. Topical therapy with a steroid class 3 for 4 weeks showed substantial improvement. The systemic therapy was switched to ustekinumab. DILE is a rare but notable side effect of biologicals in 0.5-1% of the patients and also possible under therapy with IL-17 inhibition. Switch of the biological agent is necessary in most cases.Entities:
