Biologic therapy itself has evolved further, with new antibodies directed to interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 achieving higher disease clearance when compared with those directed towards other mediators such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF). Remarkably, the most recently introduced armamentaria include molecules with much better safety profiles, causing less overall immunosuppression and lower risk of tuberculosis reactivation, something relevant for South American countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis... en_US
