Abstract
The review is devoted to the analysis of current data on the prevalence, clinical picture, differential, instrumental diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The incidence rate PsA is 6–42% of all patients with psoriasis. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of PsA. The main clinical manifestations of PsA are: peripheral arthritis, enteritis, dactyl, spondylitis. Timely diagnosis of PsA is an urgent and unresolved healthcare task. Interdisciplinary interaction of a dermatologist, a general practitioner, a rheumatologist and an in-depth examination based on the results of mPEST screening is necessary in order to detect this pathology early.
