To the Editor: Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic recalcitrant disease. Various biologics have been used to successfully treat plaque psoriasis, but their use to treat PPP is limited. Despite their promising effects, biologics such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors may aggravate or induce PPP. Herein, we report a patient with PPP refractory to the TNF-α inhibitor adalimumab, but successfully treated with the interleukin-17A (IL-17A) inhibitor secukinumab.In 2019, a 25-year-old, 65 kg Chinese woman with erythema and dried pustules in palms and soles, and nail thickening was clinically diagnosed with PPP [Figure 1 A]. The pustules occurred in 2018 and gradually exacerbated. There was no family history of psoriasis. Fungal tests were negative. Her previous doctors prescribed her topical calcipotriol but with limited response. Therefore, she consented for biotherapy with the expectation of recovery. We treated her with adalimumab 80 mg on day 1, and 40 mg on day 8, and then 40 mg every week. She responded well for the first 5 weeks of adalimumab treatment, with alleviated pustules [Figure 1 B]. However, after 9 weeks of adalimumab treatment, her lesions relapsed and aggravated [Figure 1 C], and erythematous and scaling lesions appeared on her thighs. Therefore, we discontinued adalimumab and started secukinumab 300 mg on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29, and then once every month. After five doses of secukinumab, the lesions on her hands and thighs were completely cleared without intermittent flares for more than 5 months [Figure 1 D].
