AN UPDATE ONPSORIASIS BY DR. MAHESH MATHUR, MD,DVD,DCP (UK)
DEFINITION • COMMON, CHRONIC • GENETICALLY DETERMINED • INFLAMATORY & PROLIFERATIVE • CHARACTERISED BY - Well defined, - Dull red - Silvery white scaling - involving extensor aspect of body - great variability in extent of disease, morphology of lesions & duration of disease.
EPIDEMIOLOGY • INCIDANCE & PREVELANCE 1.5 TO 4.8% • AGE OF ONSET - can occur at any age- 5 TO 9 YEARS IN FEMALE- TYPE -I 15 TO 19 YEARS IN MALE- TYPE-1 30 TO 40 YEARS- TYPE II RACEAL DIFFERENCE
AETIOLOGY & PATHOGENISIS • INHERITED – NO SINGLE PATTERN, MULTIFACTORIAL MHC CLASS 1 –CW6- 80% ASSOCATION WITH TYPE I PSORIAIS • FAMILIAL - TWIN SUDY – MONOZYGOT PAIR 73% DIZYGOTC PAIR 20 % 50% SIBLINGS IN PROBAND WHEN BOTH PARANTS ARE AFFECTED
PROVOCATION & EXACERBATION • TRAUMA • INFECTION • ENDOCRIN FACTO- Pregnancy, Menopause • SUN LIGHT • METABOLIC • DRUGS - lithium, beta blocker, antimalarials,systamic steroids • PSYCOGENIC • ALCOHOL • AIDS
PATHOGENESIS • T CELL MEDIATED • KERATINCYTE PROLIFERATION • HLA CW 6
YES….. • CD4+ T CELLS IN DERMIS • CD8+ CELLS INFILTRATING IN EPIDERMIS – MHC I RESTRICTED • MACROPHAGES & NEUTROPHILS INFILTRATION • IL1,IL6,IL8,TGF alfa,LTC4, C5a • IMMUNO THERAPY BY • METHOTRAXTE
PATHOLOGY & PATHOGENESIS • KERATINOCYTE PROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY- • VASODILATATION OF DERMAL VASSELS * EIGHT FOLD SHORTENING OF EPIDERMAL CELL CYCLE * 36 ~311 h IN NORMAL *TWOFOLD INCRESE IN PROLIFERATIVE CELL POPULATION *100% OF GERMINATIVE CELLS ENTER IN GROWTH FRACTION- 35,000 CELLS/ SQ.mm~1218 CELLS/SQ.mm
CLINICAL PRESENTATION • CLINCAL VARIENT • PLAQUE PSORIASIS • GUTATE PSORIASIS • FLEXURAL • NAPKIN PSORIASIS • UNSTABLE - • PUSTULAR- LOCALISED & GENEREALISED • ERYTHRODERMIC • ARTHROPATHIC PSORIASIS
PUSTURAL PSORIASIS • LOCALISED - -THENER EMENECES & INSETP OF FOOT, - MORE IN FEMALES, -NO ASSOCIATION OF HLA ANTIGENS • GENERALISED - • FEVER,MALASE, SEVER CONSTITUTIONAL SYMPTOMS, • PUSTULAR ERYTHEMA, FLUXERAL INVOLMENT, TETANY,HYPOALBUMINAEMIA WITHDRAWAL OF STEROIDS,PREGNANCY
GUTTATE PSORIASIS • POST STREPTOCOCAL BETA HAEMOLITICUS INFECTION • USUALLY CHILDREN • NO TYPICAL SCALES • RESOLVE SPONTENOUSLY
ERYTHRODERMIC PSORIASIS HYPOTHERMIA WATER & ELECTROLITE BALANCE LOSS OF PROTEIN ANEMIA HYPERDYNAMIC CIRCULATION
NAIL PSORIASIS NAIL PITTINGS ONYCHOLYSIS SUBUNGUAL HYPERKERATOSIS NAIL DYSTROPHIES
NAIL PSORIASIS • NAL PITTINGS
NAIL PSORIASIS • ONYCOLYSIS
PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS • SERONEGATIVE ATHRITIS • INCIDENCE- 1.5 TO 3% • MALE FEMALE RETIO EQUAL • HLA ASSOCIATION HLA B27,A26,B38,DR4,DR3 • SKIN LESION PRECEDS IN 65% CASES • AGE OF ONSET- 40TO 60 YEARS
CLINICAL TYPES - PREDOMINANTLY PERIPHERAL MONO OR OLIGO ARTHRITS - DISTAL INTERPHALINGIAL ARTHRITIS -SYMMETRICAL RHEUMATOID LIKE ARTHRITS - ARTHRITIS MUTILANS -AXIAL ARTHRITIS
Which of the following statements regarding Psoriasis is correct? • The prevalence in the UK is 10% • Psoriasis is more common at lower geographical altitudes • Guttate psoriasis is the most common form of the disease • 1% of patients have associated psoriatic arthropathy • Psoriatic arthropathy precedes cutaneous lesions in 29% of cases
HISTOPATHOLOGY • MICRO MUNRO ABSCES FORMATION IN EPIDERMIS
Which of the following statements regarding Psoriasis is most true? • Diagnosis requires histological confirmation • Guttate psoriasis often arises after staphylococcal infection • T-cells play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis • Ciclosporin is ineffective in the treatment of psoriasis • Twin studies have identified no genetic basis for psoriasis
MANAGEMENT • GENERAL • TOPICAL - GAOECKERMAN’S REGIMEN – 3 TO 6 % COAL TAR WITH UVA -INGRAM’S REGIMEN -0.05 TO O.1% DIATHRANOL -TOPICAL VIT.D - I Alfa,25-DIHYDROXY VIT.D 3 • CALCITRIOL • CALCIPOTRIOL 50 MICROGRAMS/GRAMS • TACALCITOL – 4 MICROGRAMS/GRAMS -TOPICAL CORTICO STEROIDS -TAZAROTENE -TACROLIMUS
