Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis. Ixekizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin 17A (IL-17A) and indicated for plaque psoriasis. In 2024, a study analyzed the long-term safety of ixekizumab in patients with psoria-sis(6892 cases) and identified 31 cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; 0.5%, incidence rate 0.2 per 100 PY), of which 18 were cases of ulcerative colitis (0.3%, incidence rate 0.1 per 100 PY) and 13 of Crohn’s disease (CD; 0.2%, incidence rate 0.7 per 100 PY). However, subgroup analysis of Japanese patients in a phase III study on ixekizumab uncovered no cases of IBD. The literature suggest that CD fol-lowing ixekizumab therapy is uncommon, especially in Asian patients. Herein, we report the case of a Taiwanese patient who developed rapid-onset de novo CD fol-lowing ixekizumab therapy for chronic plaque psoriasis. Ixekizumab therapy was administered as per the instruction sheet, and his symptoms appeared 2 days follow-ing the 2nd dose of ixekizumab. Due to the rarity, we report this case to highlight the importance of adverse event. Early detection and diagnosis result in a good outcome. Physicians should be alert to its possibility. Careful history taking of gastrointestinal symptoms is recommended before and after anti-IL-17 therapy.
