(= drop like)
Commonly seen in children and adolescent
Strong association between streptococcal infection
(URTI), and guttate psoriasis
Erythrodermic psoriasis

protection (infections and sepsis) and
electrolyte abnormalities secondary to fluid

• Mild, moderate, and severe replaced with:
– Candidates for localized therapy
– Candidates for systemic therapy
• Candidates for systemic therapy may have one or more of the
following features:
– BSA greater than 5%
– Involvement of vulnerable areas of the body, including
palms, soles, face, scalp, and genitals

 Emollients
 Corticosteroids: mid-high potency for most areas, low potency for face and
intertriginous areas
 Calcipotriene (Dovonex®): works best in combination with topical
corticosteroids
 Tazorotene (Tazorac®): works best in combination with topical
corticosteroids
 Tacrolimus (Protopic®): for face and intertriginous areas
 Ointments, creams, gels, foams, sprays, shampoos, and medicated tape all
available.

Epidemiology
• Children 10-30% vs. Adult 2-10%
• Most in High income countries and some low income countries
• Three subsets of AD based on age of onset
1. Early onset type: defined as AD beginning in the first 2 years of life.
This is most common type of AD
45% during the first 6 months of life
60% during 1st year of life
85% before 5 years of age
2. Late onset type: defined as AD that starts after puberty
3. Senile onset type: an unusual subset of AD that begins after 60 years
of age

Editor's Notes

  • #4 From the Greek “psoros” meaning “rough, scabby”. Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disorder typically characterized by erythematous papules and plaques with a silver scale, although other presentation occur. Most cases are not severe enough to affect general health, and treated in the outpatient setting.
  • #8 2 parent had pso--- 41% 1 parent had pso--- 14% I sbling had pso--- 6%
  • #14 This form can be assoicated with malaise, fever, diarrhea, leukocytosis, and hypocalcemia. Hepatic abnormalities: jaundice, high ALT , AST and ALP, neutrophilic cholangitis
  • #17 The presence of nail disease may be important diagnostically, often providing valuable supportive evidence of disease in difficult cases
  • #19 Histology finding: epidermal hyperplasia Paraketosis (retention of nuclei in the stratum corneum Neutrophils in the stratum corneum and epidermis Thinned or absentt granular cell layer Microabscesses with neutrophils may be seen
