Abstract
|
|
|
Annular pustular psoriasis is a rare variant of the generalized pustular psoriasis characterized by subacute onset of annular lesions with pustules on the advancing edge. Compared with the Zumbusch type, annular type is less severe and has a more
benign
course, and it is known to respond more rapidly to therapy. Histologically, spongiform pustules are seen in the epidermis and discrimination from subcorneal pustular dermatosis may be difficult.
We report four cases of annular pustular psoriasis. Two cases were adult female patients who had been given long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy. In the other two patients who were a 9-year-old female and a 10-year-old male respectively. we
could
not find any provocating factor of pustular psoriasis. There was a past history of psoriasis vulgaris in three cases, although none had any family history of psoriasis. (kor J Dermatol 1996;34(1) : 155~159)
