Over the past 30 years, there has been increasing recognition of
psoriatic arthritis as a distinct clinical entity. Psoriatic
arthritis occurs mostly in patients with psoriasis and may affect
up to 1% of the general population. It has many similarities to
other forms of spondyloarthritis, and must be differentiated from
related conditions. Given that most patients with psoriatic
arthritis have skin and musculoskeletal diseases that significantly
affect their quality of life and function, patients are ideally
managed in a multidisciplinary clinic with rheumatologists,
dermatologists and a nurse specialist, physical therapist and
occupational therapist. Psoriatic Arthritis covers the epidemiology
and diagnostic and classification criteria, describing the clinical
features of the disease, including skin and nail involvement,
articular, and other extra-articular manifestations. Laboratory
features and imaging characteristics are covered in detail, along
with co-morbidities and their impact. A comprehensive review of
skin disease therapy is also provided, along with the various
treatment options for joint disease, including traditional disease
modifying therapy and newer biologic agents . This comprehensive
yet concise and practical volume is the perfect guide to psoriatic
arthritis for the busy practitioner, and will be of interest to
trainees and specialists in rheumatology and dermatology.
