Psoriasis and flu season
People with psoriasis who are taking medications that suppress the immune system should only take inactivated vaccines for both seasonal and H1N1 (swine flu) influenzas. Attenuated vaccines can be live and therefore should not be taken by people who take immunosuppressants, including biologic (Amevive, Enbrel, Humira, Remicade, Simponi or Stelara) or non-biologic (cyclosporine-Neoral or methotrexate) drugs. Visit the NPF website for more information.
The first Multidisciplinary Psoriasis
Clinic opened at the Bolwell Health Center at University Hospitals
Case Medical Center on Wednesday, April 25, 2007.
Patients
who are seen in the Multidisciplinary Clinic will have access to
all members of the multidisciplinary team, which include dermatology,
rheumatology, psychiatry, and nutrition services. Members of the
team will have the opportunity to see each patient, and then collaborate
with one another to develop a treatment plan that will treat the
patient as a whole, and not just focus solely on the skin.
