Abstract
Psoriasis, originally considered as a cutaneous disorder in the 19th century and earlier, is now proved to be a T lymphocyte mediated chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin and joints. The growing evidence in the pathogenicity of this disease leads to a paradigm shift in the concept that it is now considered as an immune mediated inflammatory disease [IMID]. Joint involvement is seen in at least 5% of all psoriasis patients. Though children are less affected, juvenile psoriatic arthritis [JPsA] is not uncommon which has to be diagnosed early. The role of ultra-sonogram [USG] in the early diagnosis of PsA is well established. We report a child with JPsA showing USG findings. Since PsA is a risk factor for developing metabolic syndrome [MS] and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, early detection of PsA in children will help prevent mutilation and development of MS in future. USG is one of the best non-invasive tools in the early diagnosis and management of JPsA.
