Abstract

Psoriasis is a common, chronic, inflammatory disease affecting millions of people around the world. Presented in the first 5 parts of the American Academy of Dermatology Psoriasis Guidelines of Care is evidence supporting the use of topical treatments, phototherapy, traditional systemic agents, and biological therapies for patients with psoriasis.

Biological therapy is a new, safe, and effective treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis. This type of medication is designed to target specific components of the immune system. There is a need to review the recommended treatment guidelines for psoriasis because the perception and demands of patients are constantly changing. In future, this class of drugs will expand as new biologics are being developed. In this review, we emphasize the description of psoriasis and therapy scheme for mild to severe forms and options (classification according to the manifestation of the disease or to the application form) for biological treatment.
