Article Synopsis
  • Limited data exists on acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) among Asian populations, with a study of 65 patients revealing that females are more frequently affected, and many developing generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) after ACH onset.
  • The average age of onset for ACH with GPP is significantly younger (around 28 years) compared to isolated ACH (around 40 years), indicating a possible trend among Asian patients.
  • Treatment results show that acitretin and ciclosporin are the most commonly used non-biologic therapies, with interleukin-17 inhibitors appearing to be more effective than tumor necrosis factor inhibitors for managing ACH outcomes.
