Abstract:
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is an acute, systemic form of psoriasis, characterized by fever, chills, rigors, and generalized pustule formation on the skin. The concomitant occurrence of lupus erythematosus and psoriasis has been reported sporadically. But the coexistence of GPP and systemic lupus erythematosus have rarely occurred. We herein report a case of GPP in a 19-year-old female, who has been managed with SLE since the age of 14 years.
