Psoriatic Arthritis

---

Psoriasis is a common skin disease that is associated with multiple coexisting conditions. The most prevalent coexisting condition, psoriatic
arthritis, develops in up to 30% of patients with psoriasis and is characterized by diverse clinical features, often resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment. Initial reports emphasized a benign course in most patients, but it is now recognized that psoriatic arthritis often leads to impaired function and a reduced quality of life.1,2 Fortunately, improved knowledge about disease mechanisms has catalyzed rapid development of effective targeted therapies for this disease. To help the clinician recognize and appropriately treat psoriatic arthritis, this review focuses on epidemiologic and clinical features, pathophysiological characteristics, and treatment.
