2 PSORIASIS A chronic disorder with polygenic predisposition
Characterized by erythematous scaly papules and plaques; Sites: scalp, elbows, knees, hands, feet, trunk, and nails. Triggering environmental factors: trauma, infection (streptococcal sore throat), or medication. Severe forms like pustular psoriasis and erythrodermic psoriasis can occur Psoriatic arthritis : 10%–25% of patients

3 Case 1: 21 year old

4 History & Cutaneous examination
Site Extensors Knees Elbows Trunk Scalp Palms Soles Flexures Nails Type of lesions Primary Papules Plaques Secondary lesion Scales Morphology Colour Erythematous Hyperpigmented Size Margin Well defined Consistency Indurated History Duration Seasonal variation Joint pain Sore throat Stress Alchohol Smoking HIV Systemic illness Prior treatment Nails Palms Soles Scalp Mucosa

5 CHRONIC PLAQUE-TYPE PSORIASIS
Red (‘salmon pink’),sharply demarcated, indurated plaques surmounted by ‘silvery white’, micaceous scales Monomorphic and distributed relatively symmetrically Extensor surfaces of the limbs. over scalp, trunk Nail findings Auspitz sign positive HPE Clues to diagnosis

6 Grattage test & Auspitz sign
Auspitz sign: Heinrich Auspitz ( ) Grattage test - Scales in a psoriatic plaque can be accentuated by grating with a glass slide Gently scraping lesion with a glass slide accentuates the silvery scales (Grattage test positive). Scrape off all the scales Continue to scrape the lesion – glistening white adherent membrane (Burkley’s membrane) appears On removing the membrane, punctate bleeding points become visible

8 HPE chronic plaque psoriasis
Hyperkeratosis and confluent parakeratosis Neutrophilic microabscesses in corneal layer/upper epidermis Hypogranulosis Regular acanthosis Regular elongation of rete ridges called “squaredoff”rete ridges, Suprapapillary thinning Dilated capillary loops in papillary dermis

9 Munro's microabscess  Suprapapillary thinning Hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis “squaredoff”rete ridges, Dilated capillary loops

10 Koebner phenomenon (isomorphic response)
traumatic induction of psoriasis on nonlesional skin during flares of disease all-or-none phenomenon (i.e., if psoriasis occurs at one site of injury it will occur at all sites of injury) occurs 7–14 days after injury Seen in upto 25% of patients

11 Classification Morphology / natural history based Site based
Chronic Plaque psoriasis Acute guttate psoriasis ‘Unstable’ psoriasis Erythrodermic psoriasis Pustular psoriasis Atypical psoriasis Site based Scalp psoriasis Follicular psoriasis Sebopsoriasis Flexural/inverse psoriasis Genital psoriasis Non‐pustular palmoplantar Nail psoriasis Mucosal lesions Ocular lesions Other specified forms Verrucous Elephanthine Rupoid Ostraceous Linear and segmental psoriasis Psoriasis in childhood, old age Photoaggravated psoriasis Drug‐induced/exacerbated HIV‐induced / exacerbated

12 Case 2: 54 year old man

13 Psoriatic erythroderma
Personal or family history of psoriasis H/O withdrawal of drugs Typical psoriatic plaques Large lamellar scales Nail changes (oil-drop, pits, onycholysis) Arthritis HPE typical changes of psoriasis Clues to diagnosis Management options Acitretin Cyclosporine A PUVA, NB-UVB Methotrexate Anti-TNF agents

14 Pustular psoriasis classification
Generalized Acute generalized (von Zumbusch). Subacute annular and circinate Acute generalized pustular psoriasis of pregnancy (GPPP or impetigo herpetiformis). Infantile and juvenile generalized pustular psoriasis. Localized Palmoplantar pustulosis. Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau Corticosteroids withdrawal Coal tar Infection Pregnancy Stress Hypocalcaemia Triggering factors

15 Case 4: 54 year old man Case 3: 54 year old man

16 Acute generalized (von Zumbusch).
Abrupt onset, high fever, malaise, burning in skin Fiery-red erythema topped by pinpoint sterile yellow pustules Waves of fever and pustulation Coalescing lesions > "lakes" of pus Leukocytosis, elevated ESR or CRP, plasma albumin, calcium low. Kogoj’s spongiform pustules on HPE Deleterious germline mutations in IL36RN

17 persist upto childbirth maybe beyond
GPPP last trimester of pregnancy persist upto childbirth maybe beyond recurs in subsequent pregnancies usually starts in the inguino‐genital region High fever with severe constitutional symptoms death due to cardiac or renal failure stillbirth, neonatal death or fetal abnormalities

18 Bacterial superinfection Sepsis Dehydration ARDS
Spongiform pustule of Kogoj Complications Hypocalcemia Bacterial superinfection Sepsis Dehydration ARDS Acanthotic epidermis with Psoriasiform blunted rete ridges Neutrophils infiltrating into epidermis Management Etretinate Methotrexate Cyclosporine Infliximab + oral corticosteroids in GPPP

19 Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau acral pustule formation,
subungual lakes of pus destruction of nail plates. permanent loss of nails and scarring. Palmoplantar Pustulosis Chronic relapsing eruption limited to palms and soles. Numerous sterile, yellow, deep-seated pustules that evolve into dusky-red crusts.

20 Guttatepsoriasis Unstable psoriasis Rule out H/o Eruptive LP
P rosea PLC Secondary syphilis H/o withdrawal of systemic or potent topical steroids, tar or dithranol, Acute infection hypocalcaemia severe emotional upset

21 d/d Seborrheic dermatitis d/d Tinea, candidiasis, intertrigo
Scalp psoriasis Flexural psoriasis d/d Seborrheic dermatitis d/d Tinea, candidiasis, intertrigo Seborrheic dermatitis Langerhans cell histiocytosis Hailey-Hailey disease Greasy yellowish scales Does not extend beyond hairline Ill defined areas of involment

22 Non‐pustular palmoplantar psoriasis
Topical PUVA Coal tar + Steroid Acitretin Methotrexate Recalcitrant PPP –etanercept Dd hyperkeratotic eczema

23 Nail psoriasis Nail involvement increases with Diagnostic techniques
Age Duration Extent Ps arthritis Diagnostic techniques Dermoscopy Videodermoscopy Capillaroscopy Ultrasound Optical coherence tomography Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM)

24 >>> sloughed off >>> pits
psoriatic suspected > 20 fingernail pits per person >60 total pits per person Length of pit – length of time, matrix was affected Depth of pit involvement of intermediate + ventral matrix + dorsal matrix proximal nail matrix psoriasis>>> parakeratotic cells in nail plate >>> sloughed off >>> pits Dogra A, Arora AK.

27 Co-morbidities in psoriasis
Malignancy Autoimmune diseases Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Obstructive sleep apnea Bone disease Parkinsonism Psychosocial effect Psychiatric disorders Alcohol abuse Smoking Migraine Higher disease severity and younger at diagnosis have a higher risk
