Long-term remission in Crohn's disease (CD) remains challenging. While ustekinumab effectively induces remission, strategies to enhance its maintenance efficacy are urgently needed. This study evaluated therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)-guided ustekinumab optimization for sustained CD management.

Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is an immune-mediated disorder that commonly involves dermatologic, musculoskeletal, renal, and gastrointestinal systems. Drug-induced cases of IgAV are rare and sparsely documented in the literature. We report a case of a patient with Crohn's disease who developed a tender, palpable purpuric rash on the torso and extremities 3 weeks after receiving a dose of ustekinumab.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory conditions belonging to the heterogeneous group of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). A significant bidirectional link between these two entities has been observed, conditioning an increased risk of IBD in patients with psoriasis and vice-versa. Biological therapies used for IBD may lead to the occurrence of psoriasis as a "paradoxical reaction.

Ustekinumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting the p40 subunit of IL-12 and IL-23, approved for treating psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Despite a remarkable success in treating chronic inflammatory conditions and a generally favorable safety profile, its role in inducing rare adverse events, such as interstitial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), remains largely uncharted. We report a case of a 66-year-old male patient treated with Ustekinumab for severe psoriasis who, after almost two years of treatment, developed dyspnea, asthenia, and fever progressing to non-infectious pneumonia and ARDS leading to ICU admission.

Crohn's disease can be characterized as a chronic inflammatory state causing various clinical presentations and long-term risks that should be considered when determining the optimal therapeutic strategy. To date, while a few case reports have been available regarding ustekinumab-induced thrombocytopenia, none are available regarding hypersplenism. We describe a 33-year-old woman who developed only Ileocolonic Crohn's disease on ustekinumab due to failure of anti-TNF with septic shock and thrombocytopenia.
