Annular pustular psoriasis (APP) is a rare variant of pustular psoriasis occurring only in
about 1-5.4% of children with psoriasis. Pustular psoriasis is triggered by endogenous and
exogenous factors. Exogenous factors include stress, upper respiratory tract infection and
withdrawal of systemic corticosteroids.
This condition usually requires systemic treatment. However, there are still no
randomized controlled trials or standardized guidelines proving the advantage of any specific
treatment modality over the other.
We report a case of a 6-year-old male who presented with diarrhea followed by
appearance of erythematous annular plaques with pustules and nail changes. Punch biopsy
showed pustular psoriasis. Patient was treated with topical betamethasone valerate and
calcipotriol, and there was noted to have no recurrence of skin lesions for 4 months.

Psoriasis, a skin disorder, most likely as old as mankind is mentioned in the vast classical literature. This review paper mainly highlights the contribution of physicians of Greco-Arab related with psoriasis. Their scientific observation about the disease, gave a brief description about etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation and management of the diseases. Present physicians may not be well aware of the richness of the medical literature about psoriasis.

SUMMARY
Introduction: Psoriasis is a common, chronic, relapsing,
immune-mediated inflammatory disease. Our objective is to
review the clinical profile, co-morbidities, and outcome of
patients with psoriasis.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of outpatient
psoriasis patients attending the dermatology clinic, Hospital
Sultan Abdul Halim (HSAH) between January 2012 and June
2014. Data collection was based on Malaysian Psoriasis
Registry.
Results: Among 296 patients with psoriasis, Malays were the
most common 175 (59.1%), followed by Indians 82 (27.7%),
Chinese 37 (12.5%) and others 2 (0.6%). Male to female ratio
was 1.2:1. More than half (54.7%) of the patients had early
onset disease (age 40 or less). Only 26 patients (8.8%) have
positive family history. The most common clinical
presentation was chronic plaque psoriasis (89.9%), followed
by erythrodermic psoriasis (4.7%), guttate psoriasis (3.0%)
and pustular psoriasis (1.7%). Twenty eight percent had nail
involvement while arthropathy was seen only in 14.7%.
Common triggers were sunlight (46.0%), stress (31.1%),
trauma (5.4%), food (4.0%), pregnancy (4.0%), and upper
respiratory tract infections (2.7%). Co-morbidities observed
include ischaemic heart disease (7.1%), hypertension
(26.7%), dyslipidemia (17.6%), and diabetes mellitus (22.0%).
All patients were on topical medications. About 6.8% of the
patients were treated with phototherapy. One third of
patients (35.5%) were given systemic therapy. Out of these,
84 patients (80.0%) were on methotrexate while only 16
(15.2%) on acitretin. None was on cyclosporine or biologic.
In term of disease severity, 41.7% of patients had BSA >10%
and 31.4% patients had DLQI > 10.
Conclusion: Our patients show a similar clinical profile and
outcome as our Malaysian psoriasis population. However
they tend to have a more severe disease. There is a need for
a more effective targeted therapy for a better outcome.
