The new edition of a concise yet thorough illustrated review of the
diagnosis and treatment of many forms of psoriasis now includes the
many new therapies available and in development, as well as more
material on psoriasis as a systemic disease and on comorbidities.
This will be of interest to all dermatologists in training and
practice, as well as primary care physicians.
This concise handbook looks at psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis as
separate but often related conditions, focusing on a background
around the indications, such as disease overview and epidemiology;
going on to look at the etiology and immunopathogenesis of each
indication; looking at the clinical presentation and diagnosis;
before focusing on the current and emerging treatment options,
including a brief section on the issues of quality of life and
comorbidities associated with these indications.
Psoriasis is the most prevalent autoimmune disease in the U.S. .
~125 million people worldwide have psoriasis. Commonly
misunderstood and interpreted as a "cosmetic" problem, psoriasis is
a complex and potentially debilitating disease; nearly 60% of
people with psoriasis reported their disease to be a large problem
in their everyday life. This issue of Dermatologic Clinics devoted
exclusively to psoriasis is edited by two leaders of the
International Psoriasis Council, Dr Alan Menter and Dr Chris
Griffiths. Topics include: Genetics of psoriasis;
Immunopathogenesis of psoriasis; Phenotypical expressions of
psoriasis; Psoriasis as a systemic disease with multiple
comorbidities; Outcomes measures in the assessment of psoriasis in
clinical practice and trials; Update on topical therapies for mild
to moderate psoriasis; Phototherapy and photochemotherapy (PUVA)
for psoriasis; Current and future oral systemic therapies for
psoriasis; Current biological therapies for psoriasis; Future
biological therapies for psoriasis; Psoriatic arthritis for the
dermatologist; Pharmacogenomics and the future of psoriasis
therapies. This information that goes to the heart of clinical
practice is equally appropriate, beyond dermatologists, for
internal medicine clinicians, primary care physicians, bone &
joint specialists; hematologists/oncologists, and researchers in
genetic targeted therapy development.
