After 15 days from the 3° infusion, the patient developed a first psoriasic eruption to the palm of the hands and the plant of the feet, for which was begun topical therapy with cortisone. After an initial improvement, the patient introduced a diffusion of the psoriasic eruption to the whole trunk and the limbs with a suberitrodermic aspect.
