Abstract

Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory musculoskeletal disease associated with psoriasis that is usually seronegative for rheumatoid factor. Psoriatic arthritis affects men and women equally, usually during the fourth decade, although it may affect children and octogenarians. Psoriatic arthritis may lead to deformities, joint damage, reduced quality of life and function. Early detection and treatment may prevent untoward outcomes.
