Abstract

Psoriasis is a multifactorial, common disease in which environmental, immunological and genetic factors are involved. Its immunopathogenesis is mediated by multiple cytokines that have turned into a therapeutic target. IL-17 is necessary in the immunity against intracellular and extracellular pathogens, but can also contribute in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, mediating inflammation and recruiting cells. There are ongoing trials with drugs that block this cytokine and its receptor, with promising results.
