8 An inflammatory arthritis that occurs in a patient with psoriasis.
Harrison’s Internal Medicine 17th edition A form of arthritis that occurs in patients with psoriasis with the hallmarks of an "inflammatory" arthritis, including joint pain, erythema, and swelling, often with prominent stiffness. Mease, P., Menter, A. (2005) , Psoriatic Arthritis: Understanding Its Pathophysiology and Improving Its Diagnosis and Management. Retrieved from:

9 Clinical Features Unique to Psoriatic Arthritis: DIP joint involvement
Nail changes Dactylitis Enthesitis Spondylitis Lytic and periarticular new bone formation x-ray features Iritis or Uveatis Mease, P., Menter, A. (2005) , Psoriatic Arthritis: Understanding Its Pathophysiology and Improving Its Diagnosis and Management. Retrieved from:

10 Clinical Features Patterns of Arthropathy Arthritis of DIP joints
Asymmetric oligoarthritis Symmetric polyarthritis Axial involvement Arthritis Mutilans

11 Psoriatic Arthritis Distal Interphalangeal joint arthritis
Occurs in 15 % of cases Nail changes also seen Harrison’s Internal Medicine 17th edition

12 Psoriatic Arthritis Asymmetric Oligoarthritis
Involves the knee or any large joint with a few small joints in the fingers and toes Metarsophalangeal Proximal interphalengeal Distal interphalengeal Dactylis Sausage shaped digits due to inflammation of the flexor tendons and synovium and pitting edema of the distal extremities may be observed Harrison’s Internal Medicine 17th edition

13 Psoriatic Arthritis Symmetric polyarthritis
Affects the Hands, wrists, knees, and feet symmetrically Proximal interphalangeal joints Metacarpophalangeal joints Peripheral joints are less tender compared to RA Harrison’s Internal Medicine 17th edition

14 Psoriatic Arthritis Axial Arthropathy Spine and sacroiliac joints
Harrison’s Internal Medicine 17th edition

15 Psoriatic Arthritis Arthritis mutilans
Widespread shortening or telescoping of digits due to osteolysis of the phalanges and metacarpals coexisting with ankylosis and contractures in other digits opera-glass deformity or pencil-in-cup radiographic findings Fever Harrison’s Internal Medicine 17th edition

16 Nail Changes Pitting Horizontal ridging Onycholysis
Discoloration of nail margins Dystrophic hyperkeratosis Nail pitting Onycholysis Onychodystrophy Harrison’s Internal Medicine 17th edition

17 Dactylitis Involvement of the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints, together with tendon sheath involvement, may give the digit a sausage shape Harrison’s Internal Medicine 17th edition

18 Enthesitis Inflammation at the sites of ligamentous and tendinous insertions Emedicine Retrieved from:

19 Immunocompromised due to meds Auspitz sign – break in skin integrity
Psoriasis Psoriatic Arthritis Cellulitis Risk Factors: Immunocompromised due to meds Auspitz sign – break in skin integrity

20 Psoriasis Immunocompromised patient due to medications Auspitz sign Break in the skin integrity Bacteria gains access to the epidermis Acute inflammation of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue Indigenous flora colonizing the skin Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus pyogenes Exogenous bacteria Cellulitis Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine 17th ed.

21 Cellulitis At the involved site Fever and chills Malaise
Localized pain Erythema Swelling Warmth Borders are not sharply demarcated Fever and chills Malaise Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine 17th ed.
