Abstract
A literature review is presented regarding the vitiligo reaction to biological agents for treating this dermatosis itself and as a side effect of the treatment of other diseases. Notably, the results of therapy with biological products and the researchers’ opinions on this subject are ambiguous because of the positive evidence of repigmentation of vitiligo foci, as well as cases of vitiligo in patients who received biological products for the treatment of another pathology.
