1. Introduction
WHAT IS PSORIASIS?
 Inflammatory and
hyperplastic disease of
skin
 Characterised by
erythema and elevated
scaly plaques
 Chronic, relapsing
condition
 Course of disease often
unpredictable
3
PSORIASIS
4
EPIDEMIOLOGY
 Common skin disorder
 Prevalence variable: ~ 0.3–2.5%
 Prevalence equal in males and females
 Estimated incidence: ~ 60 per 100,000 per year
5
AGE OF ONSET
 Mean age: ~ 23–37 years
 Current theory:
2 distinct peaks with possible genetic
associations
 Early onset (16–22 years)
 More severe and extensive
 More likely to have affected first-degree family member
 Late onset (57–60 years)
 Milder form
 Affected first-degree family members nearly absent
6
PSORIASIS IS A T-CELL MEDIATED, AUTOIMMUNE
DISEASE1
Current hypothesis:
 Unknown skin antigens stimulate immune response
 Antigen-specific memory T-cells are primary
mediators
 Leads to impaired differentiation and
hyperproliferation of keratinocytes
7
COMMON TRIGGER FACTORS FOR PSORIASIS
 Infections (e.g. streptococcal, viral)
 Skin trauma (Koebner phenomenon)
 Psychological stress
 Drugs (e.g. lithium, beta blockers)
 Sunburn
 Metabolic factors (e.g. calcium deficiency)
 Hormonal factors (e.g. pregnancy)

CLINICAL PRESENTATION:
CLASSIC PSORIASIS
 Well-defined and
sharply
demarcated
 Round/oval-
shaped lesions
 Usually
symmetrical
 Erythematous,
raised plaques
 Covered by
white, silvery
scales
10
COMMON SITES AFFECTED BY PSORIASIS
 Can affect any
part of the body
–
typically scalp,
elbow, knees and
sacrum
 Extent of disease
varies
1 11
PSYCHOSOCIAL IMPACT
12
TYPES OF PSORIASIS
 Chronic plaque
 Guttate
 Flexural
 Erythrodermic
 Pustular
 Localised and generalised
 Local forms
 Palmoplantar
 Scalp
 Nail (psoriatic
onychodystrophy)
13
CHRONIC PLAQUE PSORIASIS
 Most common type –
affects approximately
85%
 Features pink, well-
defined plaques with
silvery scale
 Lesions may be single or
numerous
 Plaques may involve
large areas of skin
 Classically affects elbows,
knees, buttocks and scalp
14
CHRONIC PLAQUE PSORIASIS

CHRONIC PLAQUE PSORIASIS
17
CHRONIC PLAQUE PSORIASIS
18
GUTTATE PSORIASIS
 Numerous and small
lesions – ~ 1 cm diameter
 Pink with less scale than
plaque psoriasis
 Commonly found on trunk
and proximal limbs
 Typically seen in
individuals < 30 years
 Often preceded by an
upper respiratory tract
streptococcal infection
1. 19
FLEXURAL PSORIASIS
 Lesions in skin folds
articularly groin,
gluteal cleft, axillae
and submammary
regions
 Often minimal or
absent scaling
 May cause diagnostic
difficulty when genital
or perianal region is
affected in isolation
1 20
ERYTHRODERMIC PSORIASIS
 Generalised erythema
covering entire skin surface
 May evolve slowly from
chronic plaque psoriasis or
appear as eruptive
phenomenon
 Patients may become
febrile, hypo/hyperthermic
and dehydrated
 Complications include
cardiac failure, infections,
malabsorption and
anaemia
 Relatively uncommon
21
PUSTULAR PSORIASIS
 Two forms:
 Localised form
 More common
 Presents as deep-seated
lesions with multiple small
pustules on palms and
soles
 Generalised form
 Uncommo Associated with
fever and widespread
pustules across the body
 inflamed body surface
22
PALMOPLANTAR PSORIASIS
 Can be
hyperkeratotic or
pustular
 May mimic dermatitis
– look for psoriatic
manifestations
elsewhere to aid
diagnosis
 Possibly aggravated
by trauma
23
SCALP PSORIASIS
 Varies from minor
scaling with erythema
to thick
hyperkeratotic
plaques
 May extend beyond
hairline
 Patient scratching
may produce
asymmetric plaques
24
NAIL PSORIASIS
 May be present in patients
with any type of psoriasis
 Can take several forms:
 Pitting: discrete, well-
circumscribed depressions
on nail surface
 Subungual hyperkeratosis:
silvery white crusting under
free edge of nail with some
thickening of nail plate
 Onycholysis: nail separates
from nail bed at free edge
 ‘Oil-drop sign’: pink/red
colour change on nail
surface
25
NAIL PSORIASIS
26
PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
 Approximately 5–20%
have associated arthritis
 Five major patterns of
psoriatic arthritis:
 Distal interphalangeal
involvement
 Symmetrical polyarthritis
 Psoriatic
spondylarthropathy
 Arthritis mutilans
 Oligoarticular,
asymmetrical arthritis
 Clinical expressions
often overlap
27
DIAGNOSING PSORIASIS
 Other dermatological disorders
can resemble psoriasis
 Diagnosed clinically according to
appearance, distribution, history of lesions
and family history
 Important to consider non-cutaneous
complications
28
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
 Localised
patches/plaques
 Tinea
 Eczema
 Superficial basal cell
carcinoma and Bowen’s
disease
 Seborrhoeic dermatitis
 Cutaneous T-cell
lymphoma (mycosis
fungoides)
 Guttate
 Pityriasis rosea
 Drug eruption
 Secondary syphilis
 Flexural
 Tinea
 Eczema
 Candidiasis
 Seborrhoeic dermatitis
 Erythrodermic
 Eczema
 Cutaneous T-cell
lymphoma
 Pityriasis rubra pilaris
