- A total of 90 patients were examined, who had a median GPP duration of 3 years and experienced an average of 2 flares, often requiring hospitalization; main triggers for flares included medications and infections.
- The findings showed significant differences, such as younger patients often having GPP alongside psoriasis vulgaris (PV), highlighting a need for better management due to the high hospitalization rate and recurrent flares.
