Insights into the pathogenesis of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis

L R Espinoza et al. Am J Med Sci. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

Psoriasis and its related arthritis are chronic inflammatory disorders affecting predominantly the skin and synovium. Although their etiology remains to be established, multiple factors seem to play important roles in their pathogenesis. These environmental (eg, infectious agents and trauma), genetic, and immunologic factors are reviewed in this article.
