Adalimumab for the treatment of pityriasis rubra pilaris: a case report [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a chronic papulosquamous eruption of the skin characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis, salmon pink scaly plaques with islands of unaffected skin, and palmoplantar keratoderma. Widely used oral systemic and topical treatments are not greatly effective. We present a 62-year-old man with PRP of 2 years' duration who used routine topical treatments, oral retinoids, and UV therapy without improvement, but his symptoms greatly improved with the initiation of adalimumab.
