The oldest known paradox
Abstract
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a clinically heterogeneous disease which can be seen in patients with psoriasis, affects the axial and peripheral joints and can involve skin, nail and enthesis. Therefore, PsA can be confused with many diseases. Skin involvement can be established after joint involvement in 15% of PsA patients. This creates difficulties in diagnosis and follow-up. We attempted to draw attention to the difficulties in the diagnosis of PsA in patients who present with polyarthritis and positive anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-ccp) antibody and also, we underline necessity of cautious and detailed history taking and good physical examination
