Abstract

Teriflunomide is a once-daily oral immunomodulatory disease-modifying treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). Skin reactions are an infrequent side effect of teriflunomide. Here, we present the case of a 52-year-old female patient with ankylosing spondylitis who was consulted for demyelinating lesions and limb weakness. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and started treatment with teriflunomide. Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis developed after three weeks of treatment initiation. It is a rare side effect related to teriflunomide.
