Abstract

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory joint disease in which environmental factors, particularly trauma and infections, are thought to play an important role. The authors describe the case of a patient with a mild and long-untreated form of PsA which was severely exacerbated by Salmonella typhimurium infection. This case confirms the importance of infectious agents in the occurrence and course of PsA.
