Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, severe, life-threatening form of psoriasis and often resistant to conventional systemic therapy. It can be induced by deficiency of interleukin (IL)-36 receptor antagonist. Treatment of patients with GPP is often difficult, and there is no consensus on the best options available to date.

However, psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by systemic inflammation including joints in addition to skin lesions. Therefore, in this retrospective and observational cohort study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of IL-17 inhibitors (secukinumab and ixekizumab) and IL-23 inhibitors (risankizumab and guselkumab) on systemic inflammation in psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic, immunologically mediated disease of multifactorial origin, with genes playing a key role and environmental factors, such as infections, often triggering its onset or exacerbation. While acute streptococcal infections are commonly linked to guttate psoriasis, viral and fungal infections have also been associated with psoriasis flares. We report a case of severe psoriasis exacerbation during viral parotitis caused by paramyxovirus in a 49-year-old male patient with a long-standing psoriasis diagnosis.

Recent Findings: Themes in PMR and GCA include classification criteria, ultrasound imaging of temporal and axillary arteries replacing biopsies for diagnosis of GCA, faster diagnosis and treatment with rapid access clinics for suspected GCA, and expanding treatment options with the goal of rapid suppression of inflammation and sparing steroids.
Summary: Treatment is aimed at suppressing inflammation quickly in both GCA and PMR.
