Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic, often unpredictable, severe multisystemic autoinflammatory skin disease from which patients can experience flares, episodes of widespread eruptions of painful, sterile pustules often accompanied by systemic symptoms. The impact of GPP flares and underlying GPP severity on the healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) is not well characterized.
Objective: To quantify HCRU among US GPP patients by flare status and underlying severity.

Rationale: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation targeting the aortic wall. Since many patients are resistant to steroid treatment, multiple immunosuppressants or interleukin-6 (IL-6) suppression therapy have served as treatment alternatives. However, there are very few reports on the effectiveness of biologics against inflammatory cytokines upstream of IL-6.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe autoinflammatory keratinization disease (AiKD) characterized by acute flares of widespread sterile pustules and high fever. GPP is potentially life-threatening. Recently clarified genetic predisposing factors for GPP suggest that the excessive activation of innate immune pathways in the skin, including of interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-36 signaling, plays a significant role in the GPP pathogenesis.
