Pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with psoriatic arthritis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Pyoderma gangrenosum is an autoimmune disease of the skin that causes enlarging, painful ulcers with ragged, undermined, purplish borders. Pyoderma gangrenosum is frequently mistaken for other conditions, and early diagnosis is essential to avoid disfiguring surgery and prolonged recovery. We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with psoriatic arthritis that was initially treated as an infected spider bite. Once the diagnosis was made, the patient recovered after 14 months of immunosuppressive therapy.
