A retrospective study was conducted from July 2021 to July 2024, including 10 children with GPP.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the demographic and clinical traits of Polish patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), revealing that most patients are middle-aged women with common comorbidities like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
  • 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.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by persistent symptoms and sudden flares of painful, sterile pustules, and may be accompanied by systemic inflammation. Ongoing symptoms of GPP can have a serious impact on patient quality of life, morbidity, and mortality, and severe flares may be life-threatening if left untreated. Guidelines have been developed for the treatment of GPP flares; however, health care professionals and patients are lacking guidance on the management of long-term, persistent symptoms of GPP.

Article Synopsis
  • Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe skin disease that can be life-threatening, and spesolimab is an IL-36 receptor antibody showing promise for treating it, especially in adults, though data for children are limited.
  • The study involved five young patients (4-12 years old) who received a single dose of spesolimab, with significant improvements in their skin condition observed just one week later.
  • All patients showed decreased levels of key inflammatory markers and no recurrence of symptoms was noted after treatment, suggesting that spesolimab could be a potential treatment option for children with GPP.
