Sažetak
A 33-year old man with generalized vulgar psoriasis type I and psoriatic arthritis was admitted to the Naftalan Special Hospital on February 21, 2000. He was immobile and complained of severe pain in all his joints. Since the patient had suffered from the disease from 10 years without showing any improvement after different therapies, his cutaneous and joint lesions gradually worsened, and eventually resulted in generalized psoriasis and mutilating arthritis. Nevertheless, the patient was discharged from our hospital in better condition. In conslusion, the case we presented points to significant role of an early diagnosis and timely treatment of psproatos arthritis, with individualized approach to and proper edication of each patient to prevent permanent prdebilitating lesions. In our patient, his unfavorable psychologic profile contributed to the poorr outcome of the disease.
