Abstract

The authors present an overview of the present day knowledge of methods of biological therapy used for treatment of severe psoriasis at an early age. Data is presented on efficiency, safety, required monitoring of clinical and laboratory performance, specifics of vaccination during the treatment of children with genetically engineered biological drugs. Data is presented on the authors’ own clinical observations of 10 adolescents who were administered the preparation of ustekinumab. The objective of the observational study was assessment of efficiency and safety of application of ustekinumab for treatment of severe psoriasis with children over 12 years of age. Materials and Methods. The observation covered 10 children, their average age being 15±2.8 years old, the PASI index 39.3±9.5, who were administered ustekinumab at a dose of 45 mg under a standard administration regimen. Results. The therapeutic effect was assessed based on the PASI index, which was found to decrease by 75% with 6 adolescents, and by 90% with 4 adolescents as soon as by week 14 of the therapy. As is shown by the follow-up observation, the skin pathological process was completely resolved with 80% of adolescents after 3 injections of ustekinumab, and with 100% after 4 injections. Conclusion. The preparation of ustekinumab is efficient and safe for treatment of psoriasis at an early age. As based on the PASI index as the main criterion of assessment of treatment efficiency, ustekinumab (Stelara) is the medicine of choice for treatment of severe forms of the disease from the age of 12 years old.
