Chang Choong ChorConsultant DermatologistCC Chang Skin Specialist @ Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur
PsoriasisChronic immune mediated multi-system disorderpredominantly affecting skin, nails, joints• relapsing and remitting course• physically and psychologically disabling• treatment is prolonged and challenging
Typical psoriasis skin lesions: Well-circumscribed, erythematous scaly plaques
Genetic and Environmental Factors Trigger Keratinocytes to Release ProinflammatoryCytokines
Psoriasis
Environmental Factors
Genetic Predisposition
Release of pro-inflammatory cytokines
Multiple triggering factors in predisposed
individualsMultiple genetic loci linked to psoriasis
Epidermal stress and inflammation
Proliferation of keratinocytes

Clinical types of psoriasis• Plaque psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris)
• Classic (85%, 79%)• Flexural / Intertriginous (0.4%, 0.8%)• Scalp predominant• Palmoplantar (non-pustular) (0.3%, 0.2%)
• Guttate psoriasis (3.2%, 7.2%)
• Erythrodermic psoriasis (1.7%, 0.8%)
• Pustular psoriasis (1.1%, 1.5%)• Localised• Generalised• Pustular psoriasis in pregnancy

Systemic therapy• Should be considered in patients with
– Moderate and severe plaque psoriasis– Psoriatic arthritis– Erythrodermic psoriasis– Pustular psoriasis
• Patient counselling: indication, options, risks• Pre-treatment assessment• Baseline and regular monitoring

BIOLOGIC ERA
Systemic agentsConventional systemic agents
– Methotrexate (Pso, PsA)– Acitretin (Pso)– Cyclosporin (Pso)– Sulfasalazine (PsA)– Leflunomide (PsA)– Systemic steroids (Pso, PsA)
BiologicsOthers
– Apremilast (Pso, PsA)– Tofacitinib (PsA, Pso)
Factors to considerPatient factors
– Age– Co-morbidities
• CKD, hepatitis, HIV, etc
– Pregnancy– Previous treatment– Financial status
Disease factors– Type of psoriasis– Presence of PsA
Drug factors– Availability– Cost of drug + monitoring– Onset of action– Frequency of dosing– Tolerability– Long term safety– Drug interaction
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)
• PASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected in to a single score
Head (includes neck)
4 Body Areas Grading of Psoriatic Plaques
Upper limbs (includes hands)
Trunk (includes axillae and groin)
Lower limbs (includes buttocks)
Composite absolute score: 0–72Treatment response relative to baseline: PASI 75/90/100
Erythema
Induration

Body Surface Area (BSA)
• Measurement of involved BSA is estimated by the patient’s handprint (one full palm and fingers = 1% BSA) – Head and Neck = 10% (10 handprints)
– Upper extremities = 20% (20 handprints)
– Trunk (axillae and groin) = 30% (30 handprints)
– Lower extremities (buttocks) = 40% (40 handprints)
– Total BSA = 100% (100 handprints)

Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)
10 questions covering 6 domains:Symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, bother with treatmentsResponses from 0 (not affected at all) to 3 (very much affected) Overall score between 030Lower score = higher quality of life

DLQI Band Effect on Patient’s Life
0–1 No effect
2–5 Small effect
6–10 Moderate effect
11–20 Very large effect
21–30 Extremely large effect
Methotrexate
• First-line systemic treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis
• Inhibit dihydrofolate reductase• Dose: 7.5 – 20 mg/week PO or IM or SC
ONCE WEEKLY DOSING
• Folic acid supplementation recommended
Methotrexate – adverse effects• Gastrointestinal effects
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abd pain, GI ulceration
• Liver toxicity• Elevated liver enzymes• Liver fibrosis
– Risk factors: type 2 DM, obesity, NASH, alcohol, hepatitis B or C
• Bone marrow suppression• Risk factors: renal insufficiency, elderly, dosing error, alcohol, drug
interaction, lack of folate supplementation• Monitoring: LFT, procollagen III aminopeptide, Fibroscan, liver
biopsy
• Others: • Malaise, alopecia, photosensitivity, pneumonitis, lung fibrosis
