Popis: Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease with systemic dermatosis characterized by hyperproliferation and inflammation of the skin. Psoriasis Arthritis (PsA) is arthropathy which includes numerous “domains”, such as axial disease, peripheral arthritis, enthesis’s, dactylitis, and skin or nail disease. Reiter’s syndrome also known as reactive arthritis, is the classic triad of conjunctivitis, urethritis, and arthritis occurring after an infection. Splenomegaly is enlargement of the spleen measured by size or weight. Herpes progenitalis is sexually transmitted infection which is caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) or herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The patient had multiple disease conditions. Despite on standard therapy with Methotrexate and topical corticosteroids and other symptomatic relieving agents the patient was unable to recover, leading to disease progression. Hence, it becomes necessary to evaluate the balance between benefits and risks of therapeutic agents, while developing strategies on how to fill up the gaps between characteristics of any individual patient along with presence of complex disease related aspects.
