Transient improvement in chronic psoriasis after treatment of TNF-α blocker induced disseminated M. tuberculosis infection.

Abstract
Improvement in psoriasis after treatment of reactivated latent tuberculosis following initiation of TNF-α inhibitor therapy has yet to be described in the literature. The authors present a case of transient, yet significant, improvement in chronic plaque psoriasis after antibiotic therapy for reactivated TB.
