Latent tuberculosis infection in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis: evidence from the Italian Psocare Registry

Abstract: The nationwide prevalence of LTBI in Italian patients with psoriasis candidate to systemic treatment is high, and screening is recommended prior to biological treatment.

“…Registry cohorts are also important sources for epidemiological study of psoriasis, and provide real‐world data collection for analysis. Luigi Naldi (Bergamo, Italy) described several examples of studies that have used registry data to investigate research questions including drug survival, using a prospective pharmacovigilance cohort from the British Association of Dermatologists Biologic Interventions Register; identification of cardiovascular events in a Danish real‐world cohort; and diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection from the Italian PsoCare registry . These reports demonstrate the ability of registry data to track drug efficacy over time, as well as to monitor adverse events and patient comorbidities.…”

“…Si se compara la incidencia del presente estudio con otras poblaciones de pacientes recibiendo anti-TNF-α por psoriasis, vemos, por ejemplo, que es ligeramente superior a la incidencia encontrada en un estudio efectuado en registros nacionales de España, Italia e Israel 9 , la cual fue de 510,2 por 100 mil pacientes/ año, teniendo dichos países incidencias bajas de tuberculosis (10, 6,9 y 3,2 por 100 mil pacientes/año para 2017) 27 . Además, la población de dicho estudio no recibió terapia sistémica concomitante a diferencia de nuestro estudio; y, en el caso de Italia, un estudio sobre una base de un registro nacional obtuvo una frecuencia de tuberculosis latente de 5,8% para los pacientes recibiendo anti-TNF-α por psoriasis (del total de pacientes con historia negativa de tuberculosis) 28 , y otro estudio obtuvo una frecuencia de 20,5% de tuberculosis latente para España, también sobre la base de un registro nacional (para los biológicos empleados, entre los que se incluyen los anti-TNF-α) 29 , las cuales son bajas en comparación a nuestro estudio (48,1% en los 3 estudios que incluyeron a pacientes con tuberculosis latente y que reportaron dicho dato). Por otro lado, un estudio realizado en Turquía, determinó una incidencia superior de tuberculosis activa, la cual fue de 890 por 100 mil pacientes/año, teniendo dicho país una incidencia de tuberculosis activa de 28 por 100 mil pacientes/año 10 .…”

“…Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a condition characterized by the presence of active bacteria contained in granulomas and by the absence of any clinical symptoms. For this reason, to minimize the risk of reactivation, screening for LTBI is mandatory in all patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis candidate to biological therapies (Gardam et al, 2003;Gisondi et al, 2015;Kaplan & Freedman, 1996;Keane & Bresnihan, 2008;Mutlu, Mutlu, Bellmeyer, & Rubinstein, 2006). The incidence of tuberculosis is estimated in seven new cases per 100,000 people per year in Italy (http://www.…”

“…The use of biologics, particularly TNF-a inhibitors (infliximab, etanercept, and adalimumab) in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases can increase five times the risk of developing active tuberculosis in these patients by the fragmentation of TNF-dependent granulomas (Amerio et al, 2013;Gardam et al, 2003;Hernandez, Cetner, Jordan, Puangsuvan, & Robinson, 2009;Keane & Bresnihan, 2008;National Psoriasis Foundation, 2008;World Health Organization, 2015). For this reason, to minimize the risk of reactivation, screening for LTBI is mandatory in all patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis candidate to biological therapies (Gardam et al, 2003;Gisondi et al, 2015;Kaplan & Freedman, 1996;Keane & Bresnihan, 2008;Mutlu, Mutlu, Bellmeyer, & Rubinstein, 2006).…”
