This book offers an extensive examination of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a chronic rheumatic condition that affects the joints, entheses, and skin. While PsA was previously considered a milder form of arthritis, recent research has revealed its potential seriousness, comparable to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Radiographic findings, clinical presentation, and laboratory tests distinguish PsA as a distinct joint disorder from RA. However, early detection of PsA poses challenges. The book outlines a systematic approach to accurately diagnose the disease, featuring both typical and noteworthy case studies. It will be of great interest to rheumatologists, dermatologists, orthopedists, radiologists, physiatrists, pediatricians, general physicians, as well as patients and their families.
