Secukinumab for PASS syndrome: A new choice for therapeutic challenge?

Dermatol Ther. 2022 Jul;35(7):e15507. doi: 10.1111/dth.15507. Epub 2022 Apr 27.

Abstract

PASS syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by a chronic-relapsing course of pyoderma gangrenosum, acne vulgaris, hidradenitis suppurativa, and spondyloarthritis, which is lack of any biological or genetic marker. Moreover, the optimal therapeutic management remains unclear. We herein describe a Yi Chinese man with PASS syndrome who was treated with secukinumab and showed a remarkable response with almost complete clinical improvement at the 2-year follow-up.

Keywords: PASS syndrome; hidradenitis suppurativa; pyoderma gangrenosum; secukinumab; spondyloarthritis.
