“…30 patients with present or previous patches of well-defined recognizable psoriasis elsewhere were included in the subgroup of localized pustular psoriasis of palms and soles (LPP), often described under the name pustular psoriasis of extremities [4]. The study also comprised 14 patients with typical acrodermatitis continua (AC) [8] as well as 35 patients with persistent palmoplantar pustulosis (PPD), often called pustulosis palmaris et plantaris or when focal infections have been diagnosed pustular bacterid [2]. Also, 18 patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) were investigated.…”

HL-A typing was performed on 97 patients with pustular psoriasis. HLA-B27 was found increased for the combined three subgroups: localized psoriasis of palms and soles, acrodermatitis continua and generalized pustular psoriasis, who were associated with a high incidence of arthritis. These subgroups have this in common with Reiter’s disease indicating a link between the entities. In persistent palmo-plantar pustulosis an increased incidence of HLA-Bw35 was found. HLA-B13, HLA-B17 and HLA-Bw37 which are found markedly increased in psoriasis vulgaris were in acrodermatitis continua, generalized pustular psoriasis and persistent palmo-plantar pustulosis either absent or not increased as compared with the control population. 7 of 30 patients with localized psoriasis of palms and soles had one of these antigens. Our findings confirm that psoriasis vulgaris and pustular psoriasis as such, seem to be different aetiological entities. Some patients with localized psoriasis of palms and soles may be true psoriatics which besides their psoriasis have a tendency to develop a pustular reaction in their palms and soles similar to persistent palmo-plantar pustulosis.

“…The incidence of tonsillitis was more frequent in the patients than in the control group. Focal infections such as tonsillitis are often associated with diseases of unknown etiology (Andrews and Machacek 1935). Increased incidence of tonsillitis may be related to etiology of Behcet's disease.…”

“…The pustular bacterid [36] that was identified by Andrews and Machacek is also triggered by streptococcal infection, usually of the throat. It is exquisitely rare but continues to be described every few years.…”

Pustular psoriasis (PP) is a group of inflammatory skin conditions characterized by infiltration of neutrophil granulocytes in the epidermis to such an extent that clinically visible sterile pustules develop. Because of clinical co-incidence, PP is currently grouped with psoriasis vulgaris (PV). However, PP and PV are phenotypically different, respond differently to treatments, and seem to be distinct on the genetic level. In contrast to PV, the phenotypes of PP are not well defined. Descriptions of each form of PP are discordant among standard dermatology textbooks [1][2][3][4][5], encumbering the collection of phenotypically well-matched groups of patients as well as clinical trials.
