Recovery of the response to biological treatments using narrow band ultraviolet-B in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis: a retrospective study of 17 patients.

Background/purpose: Biological therapy has demonstrated a very satisfactory anti-psoriatic effect; however, the loss of response with time has been reported.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the narrow band ultraviolet-B phototherapy (NB-UVB) as a rescue in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis who have lost efficacy in their biological treatment.

Methods: A retrospective chart review study was conducted on patients with moderate to severe psoriasis receiving treatment with a biologic, with a good initial response that subsequently had lost efficacy.

The term Kabuki makeup syndrome was coined because the peculiar facial features of the patients were reminiscent of the Japanese Kabuki theater masks.
