- Abstract
The article presents a case report of a 41-year-old male patient with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and psoriasis vulgaris which were treated with entercavir as first-line antiviral therapy during intermittent etanercept treatment. The combined therapeutic regimen resulted in an improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). The mechanism of actions of both entercavir and etanercept is discussed.
