Case 1 report a 49-year-old man with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who had been receiving infliximab for 3 years. While no eruption or joint pain was observed under IFX treatment, indurated erythema appeared on the dorsal surface of the third digit of the right hand, followed by painful subcuta neous nodules that spread along the lymphatic vessels on the right arm. Under the diagnosis of cutaneous NTM, moxifloxacin, doxycycline and sulfamethoxazole trimethoprim were administrated. Both PsA andM. marinuminfection were well-controlled by the IFX and 4-month course of antibiotics, respectively. Case 2 was a 58-year-old man with PsA, who had been caring for tropical fish, and developed an erosive erythema on the dorsal surface of the third digit of the right hand and subcutaneous nodules along the lymphatic vessels of the right arm. Treatment for PsA consisting of adalimumab and methotrexate was discontinued immediately. Skin tissue culture and MALDI Biotyper led to a diagnosis ofM. marinuminfection. Brodalumab was administrated because of PsA recurrence, and antibacterial treatment (clarithromycin, ethambutol and doxycycline) for 5 months cured the NTM infection. Biologics are discontinued in most cases ofM. marinuminfection with psoriasis treated by TNF-a inhibitors because TNF-a is essential during granuloma formation to limit the spread of infection. However, we successfully managed PsA andM. marinuminfection with re-administration of biologics and a combination of antibiotics, respectively. The risks and benefits of restarting biologics should be carefully evaluated in intractable psoriatic cases. In conclusion, an in-depth interview and lifestyle guidance for patients on biologics seem necessary to prevent and controlM. marinuminfections.
