Abstract
CABRERA-SALOM, Carolina; MOTTA BELTRAN, Adriana and MEDINA, Yimy. Unusual presentation of psoriasis ostracea and psoriatic arthritis: Results after 10 years of infliximab treatment. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.3, pp.194-200. Epub Aug 20, 2020. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2018.03.005.
Psoriasis is a common cutaneous disease with a world prevalence of 0.9-8.5%. It is a chronic, inflammatory, immune mediated condition that leads to epidermal hyperplasia and an array of clinical presentations. Psoriasis ostracea is a rare hyperkeratotic variant of psoriasis. Although frequently associated with psoriatic arthritis, there are few reports in the literature. Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic, seronegative, inflammatory arthritic disease, in which the symptoms usually emerge years after skin lesions appear. The case is presented of a patient, who after 10-years of adequate Infliximab treatment, had an unusual presentation of psoriatic arthritis associated with psoriasis ostracea.
