Gastrointestinal amyloidosis in psoriatic arthritis.

Two Cases of Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis and Malabsorption Due toEnterobious vermicularis

“…Psoriasis might have been partially responsible for eosinophilic enteritis in our second patient; nevertheless, regression of enteritis was independent of the psoriasic rash. Moreover, malabsorption due to celiac disease (19) or amyloidosis (20), sometimes coexisting with psoriasis, has been excluded by biochemical and histologic investigations.…”

Amyloidosis complicating psoriasis

“…Amyloidosis has only rarely been diagnosed in association with psoriasis usually as the result of renal involvement (Reed and Wright, 1966;Brownstein and Helwig, 1970;Mackie and Burton, 1974), gastrointestinal tract symptoms (Ferguson and Wilson Downie, 1968;Qureshi et al, 1977) or abnormalities in both these systems (Berger, 1969). In these cases there was commonly a long history of severe psoriasis in the pustular form often complicated by psoriatic arthropathy.…”

“…Case reports have drawn attention to amyloidosis in patients with pustular psoriasis (Berger, 1969;Mackie and Burton, 1974) and psoriatic arthritis (Reed and Wright, 1966;Ferguson and Wilson Downie, 1968;Brownstein and Helwig, 1970;Lambert et al, 1973;Qureshi et al, 1977). In this paper a patient with erythrodermic psoriasis and fatal amyloidosis is described.…”

Reversal of Nephrotic Syndrome due to AA Amyloidosis in Psoriatic Patients on Long-Term Colchicine Treatment

“…In addition to membranous nephropathy [2, 3], IgA nephropathy [4, 5]and renal carcinoma [41, 42], 39 cases of secondary amyloidosis related to psoriasis have been described [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33](table 1). The first case of secondary amyloidosis associated with psoriasis was described by Moise et al [6]in 1965.…”
