Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a common, destructive arthritis that may manifest in more than one-third of psoriasis patients. Dermatologists are in a unique position to diagnose PsA early, and to start prompt, effective treatment. Such early intervention with biological agents such as tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonists, which appear to hold particular promise in the long-term management of PsA, may significantly reduce morbidity, improve quality of life and substantially reduce the economic (patient and societal) burden of PsA.
银屑病关节炎（PsA）是一种常见的破坏性关节炎，可能在超过三分之一的银屑病患者中表现出来。皮肤科医生具有独特的优势，可以早期诊断 PsA，并及时进行有效的治疗。早期使用肿瘤坏死因子-α拮抗剂等生物制剂进行干预，对 PsA 的长期管理具有特别的意义，可能会显著降低发病率，提高生活质量，并大大降低 PsA 的经济（患者和社会）负担。
