Introduction: TNF-α plays an important role in immune defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and, as such, the risk of reactivation of latent tuberculosis increases with the TNF-blocking agents. Aims: To determine the prevalence of latent tuberculosis in psoriasis patients undergoing TNF-blocking agents, between 2006 and 2009. Assess the established therapy and their complications. Materials and methods: Review of clinical records and registration of clinical and epidemiological data. The used screening tests were Tuberculin Skin Test, chest x-ray and, in the QuantiFERON®-TB Gold test. Results: Forty-five patients were included in this retrospective study; twenty-seven (60%) had arthritic psoriasis and 18(40%) plaque psoriasis. Only 11%...
