Differentiating between acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) and generalised pustular psoriasis (GPP) is very challenging because of clinical and histopathological similarities. A 60-year-old woman presented with pustular eruption and fever. She had taken dapsone and zaltoprofen for five days. Laboratory findings revealed neutrophil dominant leucocytosis and histopathological findi...

Generalized pustular lesions characterized by acute onset with fever occur in pustulosis acuta generalisata, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, and generalized pustular psoriasis. In the present report, we describe a pediatric case of generalized pustular eruption that was not completely consistent with clinical features. Our patient had no evidence of a post-streptococcal infection. W...

Psoriasis is one of the most frequent inflammatory skin disorders in Caucasians. It is a genetically determined disease that affects the skin, scalp and nails. It is characterized by sharply demarcated erythematous plaques with silvery scales, which appear typically on the knees, elbows, sacral region and scalp, but the entire skin may be involved. Nail changes include distal onycholysis, pitti...

psoriasis is an common, chronic, recurrent, inflammatory disease of the skin, characterized by red scaling plaques on the skin surface. the morphology of psoriatic lesions allows classification of the different types of psoriasis that included plaque type, pustular type and erythrodermic type. i have studied the relationship between distribution of rh and abo blood groups in 110 psoriatic patie...

Sir, Pustular bacterid (PB) is a pustular disorder of the hands and/or feet. It was first described by Andrews and co-workers (1, 2). There is controversy as to whether PB is a separate disease or is a variant of psoriasis pustulosa palmaris et plantaris (PPP). We describe here a case of PB in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This is the first report of PB associated with AS and supp...

Generalized pustulous psoriasis is a rare type of psoriasis first described in 1910 by Von Zumbusch. This disease tends to have a more benign development in children when compared to its development in adults. However, in its serious form it may represent a risk to the patient's life. Maybe, due to being such a rare disease no therapeutic option has so far consistently proved to be both effecti...

BACKGROUND Chronic pustular dermatoses are severe and debilitating autoinflammatory conditions that can have a monogenic basis. Their clinical features are, however, complex with considerable overlap. Null and missense mutations in the genes encoding interleukin (IL)-1 family (IL-1 and IL-36) anti-inflammatory receptor antagonist (Ra) cytokines can underlie the development of severe pustular de...

Barber's palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a form of localised pustular psoriasis, affecting the palmar and plantar surfaces. It is a chronic disease, with a deep impact on the patients' quality of life. The Authors discuss a case of Baber Psoriasis successfully treated with monochromatic excimer light.

Hallopeau in 1897 1.2 described acrodermatitis continua as characterised by sterile, pustular eruption affecting the skin of the distal phalanges of the fingers and toes, which eventually led to destructive changes of the affected digits. The lesions are usually symmetrical and give rise to persistent erythematous, glazed area of skin. These on occasions developed into generalised pustular psor...

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease that involves skin, joints and different organ systems. It is associated with Multiple morbidities such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to the high importance of the association between psoriasis and CKD which results in major side effects the aim of th...
