Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic non-infectious autoimmune disease, dermatosis, affecting mainly the skin. Usually psoriasis is manifested by the formation of red, excessively dry, raised spots above the surface of the skin — the so-called papules, which merge with each other, forming plaques. These papules by their nature are the sites of chronic inflammation and excessive proliferation of lymphocytes, macrophages and keratinocytes of the skin, as well as excessive angiogenesis.Psoriatic arthritis (arthopathic psoriasis) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints, spine and entheses, which can be observed in patients with psoriasis.The article presents a clinical case of psoriatic arthritis. The analysis of literature sources, clinical data, and laboratory results was carried out.
