Arthritis psoriasis

Arthritis psoriasis (psoriasis) accounts for about 2% of psoriasis. It occurs in women and often occurs after a prolonged period of psoriasis vulgaris. It can also be caused by recurrent symptoms. In addition to the typical skin symptoms of psoriasis, it can also be accompanied by joint lesions. Although most occur in patients with diagnosed active skin disease, some patients (especially children) have joint disease before psoriasis. The degree of skin damage in psoriasis is not related to the occurrence of arthritis, but people who have a family history of spondyloarthropathy and widespread pitting and concave changes in the finger / toenail are at risk of developing psoriatic arthritis increase. The genetic correlation of psoriatic arthritis is heterogeneous.
