Objective:
Aim: The purpose of this article is to review the literature on the applicability of biologic agents, their mechanism of action, safety and factors affecting their choice in selected chronic conditions: asthma, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis and ulcerative colitis.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and Methods: The electronic databases MEDLINE/PubMed and ScienceScholar were searched for studies published in English and Polish and indexed from 2018 to April 2024. Dodatkowo uwzględniono Stanowisko Polskiego Towarzystwa Alergologicznego i Polskiego Towarzystwa Chorób Układu Oddechowego, rekomendacje Polskiego Towarzystwa Dermatologicznego, wytyczne Polskiego Towarzystwa Gastroenterologii i konsultanta krajowego w dziedzinie gastroenterologii oraz wytyczne Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA).
Conclusion:
Conclusions: 1. Biological therapy demonstrates a significant reduction in the severity of clinical symptoms and complications associated with a variety of disease entities. An additional value of this therapy is its effectiveness among patients who do not respond to traditional treatment strategies. 2. In the perspective of the future of biologic treatment, it is important to study potential interactions between biologic drugs and other therapeutic methods. 3. To maximize benefits while minimizing complications, requires an individualized approach for each patient.
